This study is designed to help Black families in Houston learn about their genetic risk for hereditary breast and colorectal cancers. Researchers will use a simple screening tool to identify who might benefit from genetic testing, then offer free genetic counseling and testing. If you have a genetic change linked to cancer risk, the study team will help your family members get tested too.
Black families are often underrepresented in genetic research and may have less access to cancer risk screening and counseling. This study aims to address that gap by bringing genetic testing and counseling directly to trusted community organizations in Houston, making it easier for families to learn about their cancer risk and take steps to protect their health.

You would complete a brief health screening form that asks about your personal and family history of cancer, along with basic information like age and insurance status. Then you would provide a saliva sample using a simple kit for genetic testing. If your results show a genetic change related to cancer risk, a genetic counselor will speak with you about what it means and help connect your family members for testing as well.
