Understanding_Society_GWAS

The UK Household Longitudinal Study (Understanding Society https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/) aims to create and enhance a resource for a wide range of scientists, both social and biological, by combining the collection of biomarkers and psychosocial information with high quality longitudinal social and economic data about individuals and families. This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/
