Got an unexpected medical genetic result? Share your experience with researchers

Watershed DNA supports scientific research efforts to understand the experiences of people who are impacted by DNA discoveries. We learned of a group that is studying the experience of receiving a genetic test surprise that is medical in nature. Has this happened to you? Find out more about how to share your experience!

The Genomic Services Research Program (GSRP)

The purpose of this study is to learn about how people react to their secondary result and the actions they take after learning this information.

Did you get an unexpected genetic testing result?

We are looking for people who received a result for certain, serious health risks that were not related to their original reason for testing. Our study aims to understand the health and behaviors of people who get such results. We offer free genetic counseling and may also offer free testing.
