Mayo Clinic Health TAPESTRY: Use of Genomic Sequencing in Clinical Practice

Overview

About this study

Tapestry is a Mayo Clinic research study, which includes receiving genetic sequencing data from Helix, up to the full whole exome dataset. The goal of this study is to provide: (i) an immediate interpretation of ancestry/genealogy and several non-disease traits, as well as, clinically actionable variants for an inherited form of high cholesterol called familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC), and Lynch syndrome to each participant; (ii) an additional subset of focused clinically actionable genetic findings, such as, certain types of hereditary cancers, hereditary heart conditions and severe responses to certain medications, will be returned to the provider and to the participant, via the provider, genetic counselor consultation, and/or Mayo Clinic research interpretation; (iii) storing of genomic and phenotypic data for future research analysis.

  • Active hematological cancer.
  • Resident of the state of New York.
    • The Helix lab does not currently have New York state licensure.
  • Residents without a shipping address in the United States.
