Kidd, Ph.D. and in part from the National Institute of Health of the United States, grant number R01-HD102537 awarded to Curt Scharfe, M.D., Ph.D. [2] The many samples of populations studied in the Kidd laboratory since 1985 have all been collected with informed consent under a general Yale protocol (HIC#8711001387) that was reviewed and approved by the NIGMS and CEPH. One third of the samples in the CEPH-HGDP collection came from Kidd lab population samples. (NIGMS stands for National Institute of General Medical Sciences within the U.S. National Institute of Health. French acronym CEPH translates as the Center for the Study of Human Polymorphisms.
