Proper Citation: NEI-AREDS Genetic Repository (RRID:SCR_004536)
Description: The NEI-AREDS Genetic Repository is a collection of genetic material submitted by participants in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) which was sponsored by the National Eye Institute (NEI). The Repository stores DNA for use by investigators conducting genetics research into the causes of eye disease. The Age-Related Eye Disease Study was designed to learn about macular degeneration and cataract, two leading causes of vision loss in older adults. The study looked at how these two diseases progress and what their causes may be. In addition, the study tested certain vitamins and minerals to find out if they can help to prevent or slow these diseases. Participants in the study did not have to have either disease. (Enrollment was completed in January 1998.) Eleven medical centers in the United States took part in the study, and more than 4,700 people across the country were enrolled in AREDS. The study was supported by the National Eye Institute, part of the Federal government''s National Institutes of Health. The clinical trial portion of the study also received support from Bausch & Lomb Pharmaceuticals and was completed in October 2001. Data from AREDS is publicly available in the Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP). Genetic samples from 600 AREDS participants (200 controls, 200 Neovascular AMD cases, and 200 Geographic Atrophy cases) were selected using data available in March 2005 and then were genotyped using the Illumina 100K and the Affymetrix 100K gene chips. These genotype data are available in the dbGaP. DNA samples are distributed only to qualified professional persons who are associated with recognized research, medical, educational, or industrial organizations engaged in health-related research or health delivery. All orders for DNA samples must be submitted using the online catalog.
