Most NIHR BioResource participants complete a self-report form on recruitment. Typically this contains e.g. height, weight, smoking history and alcohol consumption, but also includes questions relating to disease history and current medications

The NIHR IBD BioResource acquires broad demographics – e.g. age, sex, ethnicity - from participants at recruitment. This is used to pre-screen or match participants when inviting them to take part in experimental medicine studies.

Each participant recruited on the basis of their disease (rare or common) has a disease-specific CRF completed by their clinical care team. These are non-exhaustive-we have the chance to ask for more information-but form the basis of analysis and rec ...

Each participant recruited has an IBD-specific CRF completed by their clinical care team. These are non-exhaustive - we have the chance to ask for more information - but form the basis of analysis and recall.

In order to do recall by genotype, participants have their DNA tested using one the SNP chip arrays from eg. Illumina and Affymetrix (now Thermosfisher). The current iteration is the UK Biobank v2.1 from Thermofisher, which measures ~820k markers.
