Personalized Environment and Genes Study for Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Asthma

This study, called the Personalized Environment and Genes Study (PEGS), is looking at how your environment and your genes work together to affect common health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and asthma. Researchers believe that while genetics play a role, environmental factors are also very important in causing disease. This study aims to understand how these factors interact to identify new risks and improve ways to prevent diseases. You can join if you are 18 years or older and not pregnant. The study is currently unclear on its status and plans to enroll 25,000 people.
