<p>While many genetic and metabolic studies focus on understanding disease states, this genome wide association study (GWAS) was designed to understand the influence of genetic variants on circulating metabolites and factors in normal, healthy individuals. Over 2500 healthy, ethnically Irish college students attending Trinity College Dublin completed a health and diet questionnaire and provided a non-fasting blood sample to be used for genetic and metabolic analysis. The questionnaire was designed to collect information on age, sex, height, weight, medical conditions, smoking, dietary habits, and consumption of alcohol, fortified foods, and supplements. Extracted DNA was genotyped using the Illumina HumanOmni1-Quad Beadchip. Metabolites were measured using a number of methods and focused on those relevant to the folate/vitamin B12 pathway.</p>
