The GENESIS study is collecting genetic material (DNA) and health information from 12,000 Greek adults to create the first detailed map of genetic variation in the Greek population. Researchers will analyze your DNA to understand how certain genetic markers may be connected to diseases like autoimmune conditions, heart disease, kidney disease, and neurological disorders. This information could help doctors better understand disease risk and develop new treatments in the future.
Currently, most genetic research has focused on people of European descent from other countries, which may not fully represent the Greek population. By creating a genetic map specific to Greek people, researchers can better understand disease patterns and risk factors that are unique to this community.

You will visit a participating hospital or clinic once for a single appointment lasting about 30 minutes to an hour. During your visit, you will share basic health information (age, height, weight, smoking history), answer questions about your medical conditions and current medications, and provide two cheek swabs so researchers can extract your DNA. You will also be asked to share results from any recent blood tests you've had (such as cholesterol or blood sugar levels). After your genetic analysis is complete, you will receive a private ancestry report that you can view online if you choose.
