Purpose of the study: The researchers want to study DNA and its connection to your health. DNA is in your blood, your saliva, and other tissues in your body. DNA is the unique instructions you are born with that tell your body how to work. By looking at DNA, you can learn information about your health, certain traits, and even your ancestral roots. DNA is also called your genetic information. DNA is mostly the same from person to person, but there are slight differences. Some of these differences may be important. We are still learning how DNA impacts health. The study will look at the DNA of many different people from many different backgrounds and combine it with information from their health records. The study’ s primary goal is to understand how learning about DNA can help improve health care for individuals, families, and communities.
