DNA Collection
Platform Committee: Celso Arango (Coordinator), Lourdes Fañanás, Julio Sanjuán, Jorge Cervilla and Javier Meana
• At the end of 2016 a volume of 16,213 samples had been deposited at the repository for collections of samples. These are mainly from patients with schizophrenia, affective disorders, autism spectrum disorders, bipolar disorder and controls.
• Over the year 2016, a total of 3601 samples were deposited, 1961 of which are new samples of patients and controls, while the remaining 1640 are samples that were already deposited at the platform but which were sent and processed again to obtain further stock, so as to be able to guarantee sufficient availability of DNA for future projects. This last year’s samples were supplied by 3 CIBERSAM groups. The following table sums up the collection activity over the year in 2016:
• As in previous years, the number of samples has grown, continuing to develop positively, as can be seen from the table:

• In 2016 samples from the collection were assigned to be part of different genetic research studies. The most noteworthy of these is the cooperation with the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC), to which around 3000 samples of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and healthy controls were sent. 9 groups belonging to the CIBERSAM took part in this project and contributed samples to this.
