The major goal of our research is to identify predisposing genes and their risk alleles for metabolic and neuropsychiatric diseases, common at the population level. We aim to capitalize the possibilities of the special population and epidemiological study sample resources of Finland in genome-wide analyses using new molecular methods and biocomputational strategies.
