Hereditary Disease Risk

Between 2020 and 2024, All of Us returned research DNA results. One of these results, the Hereditary Disease Risk Report, looked at 59 genes that may increase your risk for certain health conditions.

Hereditary means something that is, or can be, passed down from biological parents to kids. Genetic variants, or differences in your DNA, can be hereditary. Some can affect your health. People who have certain genetic variants may have a higher risk of getting a disease than the average person.

If a participant told us they wanted their Hereditary Disease Risk Report, All of Us checked their DNA for the genes listed below. Certain genetic variants in these genes are associated with serious health conditions. All of these conditions have treatment or prevention options. Knowing if you are at a higher risk for these conditions can be important for your health.

It is important to remember that DNA results from All of Us are research results. Before using these results in your care, they will need to be confirmed with a clinical test.
