neuromice Resource Report Resource Website |
neuromice (RRID:SCR_002993) | neuromice | organism supplier, material resource, biomaterial supply resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on January 08, 2013. A consortium of three facilities whose purpose is to establish, characterize, and distribute novel mutant mouse models with neural and/or behavioral phenotypes, and distribute them to the worldwide research community. Interested scientists are able to obtain information about mouse lines at all three sites in a single unified database. GOALS * Increase genomic and genetic tools for functional gene identification * Provide mice with mutations that alter the nervous system or behavior * Build collaborations between geneticists and neuroscientists The consortium is made up of three mutagenesis and phenotypic screening facilities, focused on identifying alterations in nervous system function and behavior, and established by NIH. They are the Neurogenomics Project at Northwestern University, the Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility at The Jackson Laboratory, and the Neuromutagenesis Project of the Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium. The NIH Neurogenomics Project at Northwestern University is directed by Dr. Joseph S. Takahashi, who also acts as the Director of the Neuromice.org consortium. Chemical mutagenesis is used to induce mutations throughout the genome and combined with phenotypic screens to detect mice with mutations. In order to maximize the genomic coverage and recover both dominant and recessive mutations, a dominant G1 screen and a recessive G3 screen are utilized. Phenotypic screens focus on five primary domains: learning and memory, behavioral responses to stress, responses to psychostimulants, circadian rhythmicity, and vision. The Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility at the Jackson Laboratory is directed by Dr. Wayne N. Frankel. The Neuroscience Mutagenesis Facility is using a three-generation backcross breeding scheme to produce homozygous mutants and will thus recover dominant, semidominant, and recessive mutations. In addition, some mutagenesis will be done in ES cells followed by two generations of breeding. Phenotypic screens focus on identifying mutations affecting: motor function, seizure threshold, hearing, vision, and neurodevelopment. The Neuromutagenesis Project of the Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium (TMGC) involves researchers throughout the state of Tennessee, under the direction of Dr. Daniel Goldowitz, Ph.D., at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis. TMGC also includes researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Vanderbilt University, Meharry Medical College, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and the University of Memphis. The Project is using regional mutagenesis, covering regions on chromosomes 10, 14, 15, 19, and X, thus including approximately 15 of the genome in the screened region. Phenotypic screens include: motor and sensory function, learning and memory, neurohistology, aging, alcohol response, abused drug response, visual function, and social behavior. Neuromice.org has stopped taking orders online but mutants are orderable please contact the originating center for availability and pricing details.

Indonesia Family Life Survey Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
Indonesia Family Life Survey (RRID:SCR_005695) | IFLS | material resource, biomaterial supply resource | A dataset of an on-going multi-level longitudinal survey in Indonesia that collects extensive information on socio-economic and demographic characteristics of respondents, as well as extremely comprehensive interviews with local leaders about community services and facilities. The survey is ideally suited for research on topics related to important dynamic aging processes such as the transition from self-sufficiency to dependency, the decline from robust health to frailty, labor force and earning dynamics, wealth accumulation and decumulation, living arrangements and intergenerational transfers. The first wave of IFLS was fielded in 1993 and collected information on over 30,000 individuals living in 7,200 households. The sample covers 321 communities in 13 provinces in Indonesia and is representative of about 83% of the population. These households were revisited in 1997 (IFLS2), 2000 (IFLS3), and 2007-8 (IFLS4). A 25% sub-sample of households was re-interviewed in 1998 (IFLS2+). Special attention is paid to the measurement of health, including the measurement of anthropometry, blood pressure, lung capacity, a mobility test and collection of dry blood spots by a nurse or doctor. In addition to comprehensive life history data on education, work, migration, marriage and child bearing, the survey collects very detailed information on economic status of individuals and households. Links with non co-resident family members are spelled out in conjunction with information on borrowing and transfers. Information is gathered on participation in community activities and in public assistance programs. Measurement of health is a major focus of the survey. In addition to detailed information about use of private and public health services along with insurance status, respondents provide a self-reported assessment of health status. Detailed information on the local economy and prices of goods and services are also collected. These data may be matched with the individual and household-level data. Considerable attention has been placed on minimizing attrition in IFLS. In each re-survey, about 95% of households have been re-contacted. Around 10-15% of respondents have moved from the location in which they were interviewed in the previous wave. In addition, individuals who split-off from the original households have been followed. They have added around 1,000 households to the sample in 1997 and about 3,000 households in 2000. Data Availability: IFLS1 data are available through ICPSR as study number 6706. Data from subsequent waves of the IFLS can be accessed from the RAND project Website. * Dates of Study: 1993-2008 * Study Features: Longitudinal, International, Anthropometric Measures, Biomarkers * Sample Size: ** 1993: 22,000 (IFLS1) ** 1997: 33,000 (IFLS2) ** 1998: 10,000 (IFLS2+) ** 2000: 37,000 (IFLS3) ** 2008: 44,103 (IFLS4) Links: * IFLS1 ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06706 * IFLS ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/00184 | interview, income, education, adult, child, contraceptive, survey, consumption, asset, individual, household, anthropometry, blood pressure, lung capacity, mobility, dry blood, work, migration, marriage, child bearing, economic status, health, health service, insurance, longitudinal, international, biomarker, blood | is listed by: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) | Aging | NIA ; NICHD ; USAID ; Ford Foundation ; World Health Organization ; World Bank |

Dynamics of Health Aging and Body Composition (Health ABC) Resource Report Resource Website |
Dynamics of Health Aging and Body Composition (Health ABC) (RRID:SCR_008813) | Health ABC | material resource, biomaterial supply resource | A study that characterizes the extent of change in body composition in older men and women, identifies clinical conditions accelerating these changes, and examines the health impact of these changes on strength, endurance, disability, and weight-related diseases of old age. The study population consists of 3,075 persons age 70-79 at baseline with about equal numbers of men and women. Thirty-three percent of the men are African-Americans as are 46% of the women. All persons in the study were selected to be free of disability in activities of daily living and free of functional limitation (defined as any difficulty walking a quarter of a mile or any difficulty walking up 10 steps without resting) at baseline. The core yearly examination for HEALTH ABC includes measurement of body composition by dual energy x-ray absorptio��������metry (DXA), walking ability, strength, an interview that includes self-report of limitations, a medication survey, and weight (Measurements in the Health ABC Study). Provision has been made for banking of blood specimens and extracted DNA (HealthABC repository). Study investigators are open to collaboration especially for measures focused on obesity and associated weight-related health conditions including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, pulmonary function, cardiovascular disease, vascular disease, diabetes and glucose intolerance, and depression. The principal goals of the HEALTH ABC are: # To assess the association of baseline body weight, lean body mass, body fat, and bone mineral content, in relation to weight history, with: incident functional limitation; incidence and change in severity of weight-related health conditions; recovery of physical function after an acute event; baseline measures of strength, fitness and physical performance; gender, ethnicity and socioeconomic status # To access the contribution of episodes of severe acute illness in healthier older persons to changes in body weight, bone mineral content, lean body mass and body fat, and the relationship of these episodes to risk of functional limitation and recovery. # To assess the impact of weight-related co-morbid illness on the risk of functional limitation and recovery. # To assess the ways in which physiologic mediators of change in body composition influence and are influenced by changes in health in older adults and contribute to change in body composition; to understand how changes in body composition affect weight-related cardiovascular disease risk factors such as lipids, blood pressure and glucose tolerance. # To assess the interdependency of behavioral factors, such as nutrition and physical activity, co-morbid health conditions, and their association with change in body composition in old age. # To provide a firm scientific basis for understanding issues related to weight recommendations in old age through increased knowledge of the potential trade-offs between weight and risk of functional limitation, disability, morbidity and death; to provide information critical for developing effective strategies for the maintenance of health in older persons. | african-american, man, woman, late adult human, obesity, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, pulmonary function, cardiovascular disease, vascular disease, diabetes, glucose intolerance, depressive disorder, dna, serum, plasma, cell, urine, platelet, blood, citrated plasma, edta plasma, red blood cell, scat-1, buffy coat, frozen, healthy, body composition |

Twin Study of Child and Adolescent Development - TCHAD (RRID:SCR_008897) | TCHAD | material resource, biomaterial supply resource | Data and biomaterial from a longitudinal study of 1,500 Swedish twin pairs from age 8 to age 20. Twins, parents, and teachers responded to 4 waves of questionnaires (1994, 1999, 2002, 2006) and a clinical interview. In the last follow up (2006) 1325 biological samples for DNA-extraction were collected. A paper that describes the study was published (Lichtenstein, Tuvblad, Larsson, Carlstrom, 2007, Twin Research and Human Genetics). Twins were followed prospectively from childhood to emerging adulthood. The data include a broad spectrum of measures of environments as well as internalizing and externalizing problems behaviors from different informants (twins, parents, teachers, clinical assessments). | child, adolescent, longitudinal, questionnaire, clinical interview, behavior, adhd, antisocial behavior, environment, informant, gene, comorbidity, psychopathology, eating disorder, phobia, relationship, dental status, fatty acid |

Health and Retirement Study (RRID:SCR_008930) | HRS | material resource, biomaterial supply resource | A data set of a longitudinal panel study of health, retirement, and aging that surveys a representative sample of more than 26,000 Americans over the age of 50 every two years. The HRS explores the changes in labor force participation and the health transitions that individuals undergo toward the end of their work lives and in the years that follow. The study captures a dynamic picture of an aging America''s physical and mental health, insurance coverage, financial status, family support systems, labor market status, and retirement planning. The sample in 2006 numbered over 22,000 persons in 13,100 households, with oversamples of Hispanics, Blacks and Florida residents. Beginning in 2006, half the sample received enhanced face-to-face follow-ups that included the collection of physical measures and biomarkers HRS provides a research data base that can simultaneously support continuous cross-sectional descriptions of the US population over the age of fifty-five, longitudinal studies of a given cohort over a substantial period of time (up to 18 years by 2010 for the original HRS cohort, following them from age 51-61 to age 69-79) and research on cross-cohort trends. By 2010 the HRS will be able to support cross-cohort comparisons of trajectories of health, labor supply, or wealth accumulation for persons who entered their 50s in 1992, 1998 and 2004. The HRS also has provided the sampling frame for targeted sub-studies. The Aging, Demographics, and Memory Study (ADAMS) supplement on dementia involved a field assessment of a sample of about 930 HRS panel members aged 75+ to clinically assess their dementia status and dementia severity. Special topics including consumption and time use, prescription drug use and the impact of Medicare Part D, parents'' human capital investments in children, and diabetes management by self-reported diabetics, have appeared on mail surveys that have used the HRS as a sampling frame. The HRS also can accommodate a number of experimental topics using Internet interviewing. The HRS is also characterized by links to a rich array of administrative data, including: Employer Pension Plans; National Death Index; Social Security Administration earnings and (projected) benefits data; W-2 self-employment data; and Medicare and Medicaid files. The HRS has actively collaborated with other longitudinal studies of aging in other countries (e.g., ELSA, SHARE, MHAS), providing both scientific and technical assistance. Data Availability: All publicly available data may be downloaded after registration. Early Release data files are typically available within three months of the end of each data collection, with the Final Release following at 24 months after the close of data collection activities. Files linked with administrative data are released only as restricted data through an application process, as outlined on the HRS website. * Dates of Study: 1992-present * Study Features: Longitudinal, Minority Oversamples, Anthropometric Measures, Biospecimens * Sample Size: 22,000+ Link * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06854 | health, retirement, income, work, asset, pension plan, health insurance, disability, physical health, cognition, health care expenditure, interview, mental health, work status, retirement planning, adult, middle adult human, late adult human, questionnaire, retirement plan, family structure, demographics, housing, employment status, job history, attitude, preference, expectation, family relations, health care cost, medicaid, personal finance, social support, wealth, hispanic, african-american, minority, longitudinal, memory, consumption, time use, prescription drug use, medicare part d, diabetes management, diabetes |

KI Biobank - Parkinson Resource Report Resource Website |
KI Biobank - Parkinson (RRID:SCR_008866) | KI Biobank - Parkinson | material resource, biomaterial supply resource | The primary purpose is to assess the importance of environmental factors for Parkinson's Disease (PD) in a population-based sample of Swedish twins. In PD discordant twin pairs, what are the environmental factors that contribute to the disease in the affected twin and or protect the unaffected twin? Second, we want to investigate whether the earlier reports of low heritability for elderly male twins can be confirmed for female pairs. All twins 55 years of age and older in the Swedish Twin Registry have been screened for most complex diseases. 626 twins have screened positive for PD and most pairs are discordant. To establish diagnosis, a physician will examine all potential cases and their co-twins and their medical records will be reviewed. Environmental factors will be studied through the use of discordant pairs, where genetic susceptibility to the disease can be controlled. Environmental exposures are being secured with telephone interviews and from a questionnaire collected 30 years ago. Recent results indicate that genetic factors play a very small role. A better understanding of the etiology of PD is important for the possibility of delaying onset or even preventing the disease, as well as for providing guidance for molecular biology studies. Types of samples * DNA Number of sample donors: 333 (sample collection completed) | twin, environment, environmental exposure, interview, genetic factor, gene, twin study, adult, middle adult human, late adult human |
