Total DNA in μg from three epidemiological studies obtained with the protocols Escale and Lymphome correspond to self-collection in a hard pack by children in the absence of an interviewer (Escale) or correspond to self-collection in a hard pack in the presence of an interviewer (Lymphome). The protocol Icare allowed self-collection in adults in the presence of an interviewer. DNA was extracted according to QIAamp DNA blood MiniKit, QIAGEN, Courtaboeuf, France. The quantity of DNA was measured by fluorescence with PicoGreen.
