About this trial

The goal of this study is to enroll at least 10,000 participants nationally including affecteds and unaffecteds via online study portal, collect surveys online and a saliva sample through the mail, sequence DNA, and conduct genetic analyses to identify novel variants and further study known variants associated with leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and other blood cancers.
