Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The AGOG Epidemiology Study is a hospital-based family-case-control study of glioma, collecting estimates of lifestyle, constitutional, and environmental exposures and sampling blood for genotyping and future biomarker studies. This is a retrospective observational study only - no intervention is being tested. Participants complete 3 questionnaires at one time and provide one blood sample.

Comparator / control treatment
We will recruit an UNAFFECTED same sex sibling (or half sibling) closest in age to the case AND a spouse/partner. If this is unsuccessful, we will aim to recruit an UNAFFECTED same sex sibling (or half sibling) next closest in age AND a spouse/partner. The controls will complete the same questionnaires for comparison as the case and provide a blood sample.
