Research Study of the Genetics of Breast Cancer

How your saliva can help fight cancer

Step 1

Join the study and share some health information

Step 2

Return your saliva sample to us for analyses

Step 4

Researchers make discoveries that can lead to new treatment/therapies

Your DNA + 1,000s of others is analyzed to make discoveries

Step 3

Ever wonder about your ancestry? We will measure the similarity of your DNA to reference groups of individuals from many different regions around the world. Find out your roots!

In return for taking part in this study, receive a fine-scale genetic ancestry report.

Note: the study does not return individual DNA results.

The more people who participate, the faster we can learn.

Anyone can join!

All genders, 18+ and living in the United States, with or without a history of breast cancer, are welcome.
