eMERGE is a national network organized and funded by the
National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) that combines DNA
biorepositories with electronic medical record (EMR) systems for large
scale, high-throughput genetic research in support of implementing genomic
medicine.

Many factors contribute to risk of a disease. Some of these factors are internal,
like genetics, and others are external, like where someone lives. Over the last several years
researchers have discovered that in addition to one gene being associated with a given
disease (monogenic factors), many genes across your genome can contribute to the development
of a disease (polygenic factors). To learn more about elements that contribute to risk a disease,
