United Kingdom Biobank (UK Biobank) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2021
An increasing number of people are now living with cardiovascular disease (CVD), with concomitant CVD-related hospitalisations, operations and prescriptions. To ultimately deliver optimal cardiovascular care, access to population-based biobanks with data on multi-omics, phenotypes, and lifestyle risk factors are crucial.

The sequences of 150,119 genomes in the UK biobank [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2021
Abstract We describe the analysis of whole genome sequences (WGS) of 150,119 individuals from the UK biobank (UKB). This constitutes a set of high quality variants, including 585,040,410 SNPs, representing 7.0% of all possible human SNPs, and 58,707,036 indels.

Developing automated methods for disease subtyping in UK Biobank: an exemplar study on stroke [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Background Better phenotyping of routinely collected coded data would be useful for research and health improvement. For example, the precision of coded data for hemorrhagic stroke (intracerebral hemorrhage [ICH] and subarachnoid hemorrhage [SAH]) may be

Membranous nephropathy in the UK Biobank

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2023
Background Despite MN being one of the most common causes of nephrotic syndrome worldwide, its biological and environmental determinants are poorly understood in large-part due to it being a rare disease. Making use of the UK Biobank, a unique resource holding a clinical dataset and stored DNA, serum and urine for ~500,000 participants, this study ...

The UK Biobank [PDF]

open access: yesBrain, 2015
In this issue, Natalie Ryan, Martin Rossor and Nick Fox commemorate the centenary of the death of Alois Alzheimer by looking at how his eponymous disease has evolved from a rare, early-onset dementia to a major focus of global public health concern (Ryan et al. , 2015).

Pharmacogenetics at Scale: An Analysis of the UK Biobank [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2020
Pharmacogenetics (PGx) studies the influence of genetic variation on drug response. Clinically actionable associations inform guidelines created by the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC), but the broad impact of genetic variation on entire populations is not well understood.

UK Biobank: opportunities for cardiovascular research [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2017
Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, accounting for 45% of all deaths in European countries in 20161 and almost a third of deaths worldwide in 2013.2 A similar pattern is observed in the UK where cardiovascular diseases were responsible for 27% of deaths in 2014, with coronary heart disease resulting in the largest ...

Modification effect of ideal cardiovascular health metrics on genetic association with incident heart failure in the China Kadoorie Biobank and the UK Biobank [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Background Both genetic and cardiovascular factors contribute to the risk of developing heart failure (HF), but whether idea cardiovascular health metrics (ICVHMs) offset the genetic association with incident HF remains unclear. Objectives To investigate

The landscape of health disparities in the UK Biobank

open access: yesDatabase, 2023
Abstract The UK Biobank (UKB), a large-scale biomedical database that includes demographic and electronic health record data for more than half a million ethnically diverse participants, is a potentially valuable resource for the study of health disparities.
