PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To detect and compare the actionable genetic findings derived from whole exome sequencing (WES) testing and examine their frequency and association with family history using a large cohort of patients seen across specialties within the Mayo Clinic enterprise.
II. To assess the effect of actionable genetic findings of patients on health-care utilization, and patients acceptance.
III. To create a unique vertically integrated data asset (Mayo Clinic Health Tapestry) that links genomics and other omics information to traditional health parameters in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) with the aim to elucidate disease formation and outcomes.
IV. Assess the frequency of hereditary cancer predisposition genes (BRCA1, BRCA2, Lynch syndrome mismatch repair [MMR] genes) through population screening using WES and the uptake of genetic counseling.
V. To study the genetic predisposition to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease we propose using a COVID-19 survey.
VI. Assess the recruitment rate of those approached by portal and email.
OUTLINE:
Participants receive a saliva kit, register with Helix then undergo collection of saliva sample which is returned o Helix. Participants also receive an online link to complete the About Me family history. Once sequencing is completed by Helix, ancestry/trait information and genetic findings are shared with participants and their primary provider, if applicable. Participants with positive results are offered genetic counseling and are encouraged to seek clinical confirmatory testing. Following clinical confirmation, results are scanned into the electronic health record. Participants may also undergo the collection of blood, urine, and stool samples for future studies.

- Actionable genetic findings derived from whole exome sequencing (WES) testing [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Patients will be asked to complete a family history as part of this study. The family history will be assessed to determine the percentage of participants with evidence of genetic risk for the actionable finding. Standard descriptive statistics approaches will be used for analysis.
- Effect of actionable genetic findings of patients on health-care utilization [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Medical records will be reviewed for evidence that patients take active participation in managing genetic risks. Additionally, patients will be surveyed as to their experience with genomic based testing. Standard descriptive statistics approaches will be used for analysis.
- Patients' acceptance [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Standard descriptive statistics approaches will be used for analysis.
- Creation of a unique vertically integrated data asset (Mayo Clinic Health Tapestry) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]A variety of patient cohorts will be ascertained throughout this study. Data will be made available to researchers to query correlations of disease states and clinical outcomes to genomic findings. These insights will be invaluable to creating genomic informed care plans in the future. Standard descriptive statistics approaches will be used for analysis.
- Genetic predisposition to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Will examine the genetic variants derived from the WES data that associate with COVID-19 outcomes. Standard descriptive statistics approaches will be used for analysis.
