Project Description:
The Genomic Psychiatry Cohort is an international research project whose main focus is The objective is to study the role of genetics in the development of some psychiatric diseases. Us Over the past 20 years, this project's research team has collected DNA and clinical data on approximately 4000 individuals (1500 individuals with psychiatric problems and more than 2500 individuals without
affected) from Portuguese islands (Autonomous Region of Madeira and Autonomous Region of the Azores). The reactivation of this longitudinal research predicts that participants in this study will be contacted again, with the aim of verifying their current clinical status and identifying the emergence of new cases of psychiatric illness in the families already studied. There is a particular interest in studying this sample because it is considered genetically homogeneous, due to characteristics of the settlement of these regions and the geographic isolation to which they were subject for several years.
