We couldn't have managed any of our research in Shetland or Orkney without our volunteers. Here you can read about what we've achieved thanks to their help.
Pioneering genetics study outlines practical and ethical pathway to return actionable results to volunteers and identifies ten genetic variants which have become common enough to warrant population screening.
Research, including data from 4,000 ORCADES and Viking Health Study – Shetland volunteers, has found 67 regionally enriched genetic variants across the UK that cause disease.
Viking Health Study - Shetland (VIKING I) volunteer data has linked a harmful variant in the gene BRCA2 to a historic origin in Whalsay, Shetland.
The genetics of brain-related proteins and their relationship to behaviour and psychiatric disorders
International collaboration identifies hundreds of proteins in human blood related to human behavioural traits and psychiatric disorders.
Researchers find a protein called lymphotoxin-alpha may play role in Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Methodology of genetically distinct cohort study shows pathway for genomic medicine in population health.
Viking Genes' pioneering work helps European researchers to propose pathway checklist for return of genetic results to research participants.
Orkney Complex Disease Study (ORCADES) volunteer data has helped to link a variant in the gene BRCA1 to a historic origin in Westray, Orkney.
