ClinSeq: A Large-Scale Medical Sequencing Clinical Research Pilot Study
 Family History Tool
Quick access to the family history tool for ClinSeq participants.
Study Overview
 The purpose of ClinSeq is to pilot large-scale medical sequencing (LSMS) in a clinical research setting. By sequencing targeted regions of a person's genome and returning relevant and individual results to that person, we will begin investigating some of the technical, medical and genetic counseling issues that accompany the implementation of LSMS in the clinical setting.
Specifically, we seek to develop the technologic and procedural infrastructure to facilitate this type of research and demonstrate that it is feasible to sequence and interpret large amounts of genomic sequence data and return individual results to subjects.
ClinSeq is sponsored by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)
Note: ClinSeq study recruitment will focus on the metropolitan Washington D.C. and Baltimore areas in order to minimize reluctance to participate because of travel limitations.
