Family genetic information study for cancer risk genes
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study helps parents understand genetic test results that show they carry a gene linked to cancer risk. Researchers will talk with you about what these results mean for your family's health and how to share this information with relatives.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a biological parent of a child who is part of the ORIGen research study and was found to carry a cancer-risk gene
- You are 18 years or older
- You speak and understand English
- You have not had genetic testing for this specific gene variant before
- You can hear, see, and communicate well enough to participate (with hearing aids, glasses, or other assistive devices if needed)
- You do not have uncontrolled mental health conditions or severe cognitive difficulties that would prevent you from understanding the study

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 tests a new online way to offer genetic testing and counseling for people concerned about hereditary cancer. It aims to make it easier and faster to access these services from home.
This study looks for genetic changes that may explain why some people get cancer earlier or more often than expected. It may help identify cancer risk patterns in you and your family, and guide what doctors watch for next.
This study looks at whether DNA (from a tumor or related samples) can help identify inherited cancer risk in people who develop cancer at a young age. It may help families learn more about risk factors and guide future screening or prevention.
This study looks at genetic changes linked to breast, ovarian, or digestive cancers. It may help doctors better understand inherited cancer risks.
This study offers free genetic testing to Black or African American people who have had certain cancers. It aims to find inherited gene changes that increase cancer risk and improve health equity.
