The Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) is a large prospective cohort study aimed at investigating the genetic and environmental risk factors of major chronic diseases in Korea. As of November 2017, epidemiological data of more than 23 million participants are available for researchers. Researchers who want to access the KoGES data may do so via the online data sharing service available at http://www.kdca.go.kr/CDC/ or http://www.nih.go.kr/NIH_NEW. After submitting institutional review board approval documentation, research proposal and a list of requested variables, researchers can download the data within 7 days. In addition, researchers who want to use genomic data and/or biospecimens, together with epidemiological data may do so via the one stop portal services of Korea Biobank Network (KBN) available at http://koreabiobank.re.kr.
