  1. Two hundred sixty-four participants submitted the joiner survey and sent in saliva (UNC) or permitted the use of banked DNA (KPNW) for sequencing. Two participants completed less than 50% of the survey, so their data were not included in these analyses
  2. KPNW Kaiser Permanente Northwest, UNC University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill, RoR return of results
