This study tests a website called Kindred that helps African American families understand genetic cancer risk and genetic testing. You would help researchers learn if this tool helps families talk about and understand hereditary cancer risks like BRCA mutations and Lynch Syndrome.
This study tests a family-centered way to share cancer genetic testing results with close relatives, so more relatives get genetic counseling and testing. It may help your eligible family members understand their risk and get the right next steps.
This study helps identify people who may have an inherited cancer risk and checks how best to support them. Depending on the group, you may only fill out surveys, or you may also create an app account and possibly provide a DNA sample.
This study helps people who carry a known cancer-related gene variant share information with their close family members. We offer free genetic testing to eligible relatives who have not yet been tested.
This study looks at DNA (genetic information) from people and families who may have an inherited risk for cancer. It aims to find new genetic markers that can help explain cancer risk and guide future care.
This study looks at how parents and children communicate after learning about an inherited (genetic) cancer risk. It may help researchers find better ways to support families in these conversations.
