Connect My Variant

ConnectMyVariant is an educational health-focused nonprofit organization that supports individuals and families with hereditary disease, such as cancer risk, in their early detection and prevention efforts. They provide unique value by leveraging evidenced-based family connection protocols to help people identify other at-risk relatives and help those relatives access genetic testing and tailored preventative medical care. ConnectMyVariant brings people with the same genetic risk together through our variant database and community engagement events to share experiences, find common ancestors, and help each other get the best medical care. ConnectMyVariant also works to increase awareness of the benefits of family outreach among physicians, others who provide prevention care, and the broader genealogy community.

Parallel built a genetic variant database where people can sign up, add their data, and connect with people with similar variants.
