Compelling evidence exists which suggests that genes play an important role in developing certain chronic diseases. Newfound Genomics is conducting research that focuses on Newfoundland and Labrador's population, and is concerned with identifying the relationships between genes, human health and specific diseases. Through the identification of disease-causing genes, this research is expected to provide for an earlier diagnosis of disease, a meaningful contribution to the development of new diagnostics, and the formulation of more effective drugs for the treatment of disease - true benefits for patients worldwide.
Newfound Genomics is currently conducting four province-wide studies with donor volunteers in Newfoundland and Labrador as the sample population. Included are studies concerning bodyweight, Type II Diabetes, Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Osteoarthritis.
Because Newfound Genomics must rely on the involvement of donor volunteers, you can make a difference. Your genetic information encoded within your DNA could help lead to a medical breakthrough! There is no cost to you, only a moment in time. Please, help us help you.
