Primary features of this research effort

1)  You will be asked to provide a blood sample that can be employed to isolate DNA. It is anticipated that this blood will be drawn in conjunction with other blood samples for tests recommended by your doctor.

2) Your DNA will be evaluated at the genetic level to assess your inherited variation.

3) You will be asked to provide Stanford researchers with access to your genetic information and medical information.

4) Your genetic and medical information will be viewed only by qualified researchers, and will be housed in highly secured computers that guard your personal information.

5) Every effort will be made to provide your personal physician with any genetic information derived through the Stanford Precision Health Biobank Project that will affect your medical management.

6) You may terminate your participation in this study at any time, with no ramifications regarding your medical care.
