Phase I (Completed)
-
Identifying an appropriate set of DNA samples for polymorphism analysis
-
Resequencing 200 candidate genes
-
Establishing a polymorphism database
-
Developing technology for identifying genetic variants in human genes
-
Considering the ethical, legal, and social implications of EGP research

Resequencing additional EGP candidate genes
|
Phase III
-
Population-based studies of exposure and allele–disease associations based on Phase I and II
