Sammendrag
The Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) Biobank, located at Levanger, Mid-Norway, holds biological material from 110 000 participants (aged 13–100 years) from the longitudinal population-based HUNT Study, Norway, including whole blood, serum, plasma, DNA, RNA, urine, saliva and fecal samples, optimally handled and stored for research purposes.
Among 94 000 participants with biological material, repeated measurements and a wide collection of processed samples are available from 26 000 that have participated in three successive HUNT surveys (HUNT2–4, 1995–2008).
Large-scale, multi-omics analyses based on the existing sample collections are available.
A unique personal identification number (PIN) for all citizens enables linkage to a wide range of local and national registries containing numerous incident clinical endpoints.
Data and biological materials are accessible on request for national and international research groups, which also includes industrial-based research collaborations.
