Amish Connectome Project (ACP)

Sample details

The ACP was conducted from September 2015 to June 2019 and collected data from multi-generational Old Order Amish (OOA) families with two or more members with major DSM-5 disorder diagnoses. Four hundred fifty participants aged 18 to 85 years old were recruited from the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center and neighbouring outpatient clinics into the study. Study procedures included neuroimaging and family-based imputation of genome-wide association study data.
