The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Genome-wide Combined Linkage-association Scan Of Multiply Phenotyped Twin Sibships
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$1,920,000.00
Summary
We have a large ongoing study of adolescent twins, their siblings and parents who are multiply phenotyped in many domains including melanoma risk factors, serum biochemistry, and cognition. We used our first Medical Genomics grant to obtain a 5cM linkage scan for>500 families and have identified linkage peaks for many different phenotypes. To fine map these it will be most efficient to carry out a genome-wide association scan. We request funds to type a 500k SNP chip on 1000 individuals.

We aim to bring together Australia's unique resources for genetic epidemiology and genomics with high level expertise in bioinformatics and statistical science, conduct advanced methodological research, develop new research capacity and competitiveness in cutting-edge techniques, bring them to bear on important medical research problems, train young Australians in bioinformatics and advanced biostatistics, and transfer this expertise to the medical research community.Read moreRead less
