The document describes genetic epidemiology resources available through Howard University. It provides biological samples from 2,000 West Africans and 1,500 African Americans that include demographic data, DNA, serum, plasma, and urine samples. Some also include genotype data for SNPs. The resources can provide whole genome amplified DNA, serum, plasma, and associated phenotype and genotype data for studies on obesity, diabetes, and hypertension through a collaborative agreement.
