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.
