About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to learn more about how genes impact the risk of kidney disease. Anyone 18 or older living in the US is eligible, and a diagnosis of kidney disease is NOT required. Study participation is online, and it takes about 20 minutes to complete health surveys and request a saliva collection kit sent through US mail. In return, study participants may opt to receive information about their genetic ancestry at no cost.
