GenomeConnect is a patient registry where participants can securely share their genetic & health information
About us
GenomeConnect is an online patient registry where individuals can securely share their genetic and health information. This information is de-identified and shared with databases such as ClinVar and can be used by researchers and healthcare providers to better understand the relationship between genetics and health. GenomeConnect also gives participants the option to connect with others with similar genetic test results or diagnoses, learn about additional research opportunities, and receive updates about their genetic test results. GenomeConnect is available to anyone who has completed clinical genetic testing and registration is available in English and Spanish.

GenomeConnect has partnered with the Brain Gene Registry (BGR) (https://bit.ly/4cJAKHO). The BGR is working to better understand the impact of rare genetic variants in intellectual and developmental disabilities. In June, the BGR team discussed this partnership during a webinar: https://lnkd.in/ehNiKgTM #genetics

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. You may have heard of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, but there are several other genes that can cause an increased risk for breast cancer. Genetic and health information shared by GenomeConnect participants may help increase our understanding of genes and variants associated with increased breast cancer risk. #datasharing
