In August 2008, the WTCCC selected Agilent to manufacture the microarrays for the landmark CNV study; this commercial product is a result of that relationship.
The first phase of the WTCCC involved a collaboration of 24 leading human geneticists who analyzed more than 19,000 DNA samples from patients to identify genetic variants influencing disease susceptibility in: tuberculosis, coronary heart disease, types 1 and 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, bipolar disorder, autoimmune thyroid disease, ankylosing spondylitis, multiple sclerosis, breast cancer and hypertension.
Over the next year, 14 UK research groups will collaborate with the WTCCC to identify genetic contributions to 14 common diseases and drug responses, including schizophrenia, ulcerative colitis, psychosis, bacteriosis, pre-eclampsia and statin response, as well as an additional genome-wide association study (GWAS) study on learning difficulties.
