Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (ARIC) Dataset¶
Cancer types with highest primary cancer incidence and cancer mortality 1987-2012 among 14,735 at risk ARIC participants; 8,028 females, 6,707 males
| Site | Incidence | Mortality |
|---|---|---|
| Colon | 364 | 109 |
| Lung and bronchus | 748 | 526 |
| Hematopoietic/lymphatic | 378 | 177 |
| Melanoma | 130 | 14 |
| Breast (female & male) | 696 | 112 |
| Prostate | 887 | 91 |
| Kidney | 178 | 42 |
| Bladder | 234 | 36 |
Can SNPs explain some variance left after taking into account known risk factors?
Everything I need is on the cluster:¶
- ARIC epidemiologic & genomic data
- BASH & R scripts to work with the data
- Compute resources
