Study about how people understand genetic test results
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies what people and families think and understand about genetic test results, especially when results suggest a higher risk for disease. It may also include interviews and follow-up, and in some cases additional family testing if it fits the study’s goals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can complete the study forms and interviews in English or Spanish
- You have a “suspected” genetic result that is at least likely to be harmful (not simply a harmless variant)
- If you’re asking for study involvement for someone else, the person must be the right age or be the only affected family member
- You must not be a newborn younger than 1 month
- You must be willing to be screened out if your result is not eligible for further study steps
