Brief description of ERRQ
The Quebec Regional Reference Sample (ERRQ) consists of genomic samples coupled with pedigree data, collected by the laboratory of Professor Damian Labuda at the CHUSJ Research Centre in collaboration with Hélène Vézina, director of the BALSAC project at UQAC. Two types of data were generated from this genomic sample bank: 1) genetic genotyping data for 823 individuals from 6 regions: Gaspésie, Côte Nord, Quebec City and surrounding areas, Montreal and surrounding areas, Abitibi, Outaouais; and 2) pedigree data produced using the BALSAC file during the initial research project. No phenotypic data were collected and this cohort is free of medical bias.
