Population Description: Spain is a Constitutional Monarchy in southwestern Europe that occupies a large part of the Iberian Peninsula. The Spanish people are basically a composite of Mediterranean and Nordic groups. The groups include both the indigenous people of the Iberian Peninsula (Castilian, Basque, Catalan and Galician) as well as a mixture of groups who have conquered Spain throughout the country's history (such as the Romans, Suevi, Vandals, and Visigoths). The vast majority of the population is Roman Catholic and speaks Castilian Spanish, a language in the Indo-European linguistic family. There are regions in Spain where the indigenous groups have not amalgamated into the mainstream culture, keeping unique cultural and linguistic identities. The population of Spain was 40,037,995 as of July 2001 (The World Fact Book).

Sample UID: SA002698Z

Sample Description:Specimens were taken from consecutive newborns in 67 hospitals of the National Health Service throughout Spain. These hospitals are part of ECEMC (Spanish Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformatioins). Specimens were collected at the same time as the blood spots for the newborn screening programme.
