Sample call rates were associated with storage duration independent of storage environment (p-trend = 0.006 for DBS archived in an uncontrolled environment and p-trend = 0.002 in a controlled environment). However, 95% of the total sample had high genotyping quality with a call rate ≥ 95.0%, a standard threshold for acceptable sample quality in many genetic studies. CONCLUSION Blood spot DNA quality was lower in samples archived in uncontrolled storage environments and for samples archived for longer durations. Still, regardless of storage environment or duration, neonatal biobanks including the Michigan Neonatal Biobanks can provide access to large collections of spots with DNA quality acceptable for most genotyping studies.PURPOSE To measure intervertebral disc (IVD) health parameters in middle-aged long-term runners compared to matched non-physically active controls. METHODS Seventeen males aged 44-62yr were included in the study 9 runners with a running history of >10yr, averaging >50km/week, and eight matched non-physically active controls, the data from one participant had to be excluded. T2-relaxometry, diffusion weighted imaging, T1- and T2-weighted MR scanning, as well as T2 time mapping were performed. Morphological data relating to IVD were extrapolated. RESULTS Compared to controls on average, runners had 20% greater IVD height (p = 0.002) and seven percentage points greater IVD-vertebral body height ratio (p = 0.001). No significant differences were observed between groups for mean(SD) IVD hydration status, as indicated by similar T2-times (runners 94.4(11.1)ms, controls 88.6(23.6)ms), or apparent diffusion coefficients (runners 249.0(175.2)mm2/s, controls 202.3(149.5)mm2/s). Average Pfirrmann score for the L5-S1 IVD was 2.2(0.7) for runners and 3.3(1.0) for controls (p = 0.026
