This research is conducted by the Institute of Omics and Health Research (IOHR) with national and international universities as collaborators.
The research projects are funded by the National Institute of Mental Health America (NIMH) and European Research Council (ERC)
It’s a case control study in which we aim to find the difference in the genetics of mentally healthy and mentally unhealthy people to identify the possible causal mutations (deleterious changes) in DNA.
No it’s not a test and you won’t get any result back. In fact it’s an addition to efforts of developing a test.
No it’s not a government project.
Yes, we have taken research ethics approval from National Bioethics committee (NBC) and also from different institutions across the country. We are registered with Security Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
It’s a notion of thanks for the time given for completing the questionnaire.
Since it’s a genetic study, we will have to isolate DNA from your blood, conduct experiments and then compare it with that of patients.
International organizations have already conducted such research projects abroad on different diseases, and the data on the Pakistani population is lacking. Generating data on the Pakistani population will benefit the patients here in the future if some treatment is developed.
We will take small amount of blood sample required for the research. The quantity is very less that it will have no effect on your health or on your working routine.
