Description: The study as a whole recruits a grand total of 383,980 participants but only genetic data from 342,130 individuals will be used.

This number can be further subdivided in:

* 3,650 participants enrolled in the Stomach Cancer Pooling Project (http://stop-project.org/) These biological samples will be processed to extract DNA data.
* 338,480 participants enrolled by the UK Biobank. These sample have already been processed. Informatized data from the biomarker samples will be used during the polygenic risk score development. For previously published details of UK Biobank, with anonymized data made available for researchers, please see: https://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk/enable-your-research/about-our-data/biomarker-data
