WP4 Biobanking – Genome of Europe

objectives: WP4 aims to establish an inventory of available genetic datasets that may be used to evaluate genetic risk prediction methods in specific populations through a consortium-wide survey (e.g. in an EU country where this has not been done). Local validation initiatives will serve as templates for the survey questions that must be posed. The […]
