I am a graduate student in genetic counseling at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and am conducting research on Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP). The primary purpose of this study is to understand parental concerns and preferences towards screening for hepatoblastoma in children at risk for FAP. Hepatoblastoma is a rare liver tumor that is associated with a less than a 2% risk in children with FAP.

You may qualify if you or your child’s other parent has been diagnosed with FAP. If you are interested in participating, please complete a short survey to determine if you meet the criteria for this study at:
