For the health of quebecers and of our future generations

More than 20,000 men and women have already participated in CARTaGENE during the first wave of recruitment. Research using CARTaGENE data and sample will allow a better understanding of how our environment, lifestyle and the genetic background inherited from our parents are involved in the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease. This could improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and therefore, contribute to the improvement of the health system in Quebec. Learn more...

Currently: A second wave of recruitment of 17,000 participants is ongoing!

This recruitment of new participants will not only cover new regions of the province of Quebec which have not yet been included during the first phase of the project, but will also enlarging our cohort of participants, thus ensuring the durability of the project.
