Project research plan
The main aim of this three-year project was to genotype a new sample of over 3,000 AGP families (simplex and multiplex families) on the Illumina 1M beadchip, which enables the genotyping of over one million SNPs in each sample.
In the first stage of the Phase 2 project - Stage 1:
- Over 1,500 AGP families were genotyped
- Subsequently, association, linkage and CNV analyses were performed.
- The results from this study were published in 2010.
In the second project stage - Stage 2:
- A second sample of over 1,500 AGP families were genotyped.
- Subsequently, association, linkage and CNV analyses were performed for the complete Phase 2 sample-set (over 3,000 trios)..
- The results from this study are now being finalised and will be submitted for publication in 2010.
In addition, analyses of AGP phenotypic data were also completed:
- AGP sites uploaded phenotype data for the complete AGP sample-set (over 7,500 families). This includes the following data: ADI, ADOS, IQ, Vinelands, Body Measurements and Family Type.
- Collaborating AGP sites conducted a number of analyses of this data.
- A number of new publications are published / anticipated, based on these findings
