Intervention

Other:
• BFOR Digital Health solution/Web Portal
A digital health solution with Internet-based participant recruitment and ascertainment is a mechanism for distributing access to genetic testing to populations who might not otherwise have access. For this project, LifeLink will build a private web-portal designed by the PI's of the study as described in this protocol, including the wireframes that are in the appendices, that will enable secure contact between study participants and the participating commercial laboratory (Quest Diagnostics) and BFOR researchers, as well as facilitate contacts between study participants and their primary care providers and/or a list of BFOR study centers and BFOR providers.
