The All of Us Research Program is excited to announce that we are another step closer to giving participants their health-related DNA results.
On August 30, we will launch our pilot test for health-related DNA results. We’ll ask about 1,000 participants if they want us to prepare their results. This is the first step in getting health-related DNA results.
There are two reports that participants can get:
If any of these participants tell us they want one or both reports, we will start preparing them. Preparing the reports is step 2, and it takes a few weeks to a few months.
The participants in our pilot test will start to receive their results before the end of the year. Receiving personalized DNA results is the third and final step. We will share more details about this process in future updates. If you’re interested, you can read our previous genomics updates.
Right now, almost 200,000 All of Us participants are eligible to get health-related DNA results. Participants who have completed all of these steps can get DNA results if they want them:
We will contact All of Us participants who were the first to share a blood or saliva sample.
There are a few reasons for this:
Once you’re eligible, we will send you an email or text message when it’s your turn to tell us if you want health-related DNA results. When we contact you is based on when you gave us your blood or saliva sample. Participants who gave a sample first will be contacted first.
It may be several more months before we contact you. You will be able to track our progress in our national newsletter.
August 30 is an exciting milestone for us. It is also just the beginning. We’re starting with a small group of participants. We’ll make sure that everything is working as planned. Over time, we’ll be able to notify thousands of participants every week.
We hope that you are as excited about this milestone as we are. None of this would be possible without your participation.
