Detailed Description

Summary to include:

  1. Samples of saliva, blood and/or other stored material such as slides or leftover diagnostic material. If available the investigator may ask you for deciduous (baby) teeth.

  3. If you have been diagnosed with a osteosarcoma or another condition the investigator is interested inthe investigator will ask you release medical record information relating to diagnosis and treatment of osteosarcoma, other cancers, blood disorders, and similar conditions. If this step applies to you then you will be asked to sign a separate form.
  4. You may be asked to contact your biological parents and full biological siblings to ask them about participating in the study.
