NCT ID NCT02595957

Summary

This research program aims to learn how people understand and act on unexpected genetic findings that could impact their health, even if those findings weren't the original reason for their genetic test. Researchers are enrolling 5,000 people who have received such findings to complete surveys and interviews about their experience, healthcare actions, and family communication. The study also offers some participants detailed health evaluations at the NIH to better understand the real-world impact of these genetic discoveries.
