<=iv dir="ltr">Hi Jeffrey,

I'm sorry about the dela= and your frustration in getting your results.

<=iv>First and foremost, I want to stress this is research and it is fully v=luntary. You always have the option to drop out at any time and receive a =ull refund of sequencing costs. This is no problem. (Your sequencing is al=eady done actually but the money will still be refunded if you withdraw fo=m the study.)

If you choose to withdraw from the =tudy we will of course discard/destroy all your data and samples.

I won't have your analysis completed by tomorrow for s=re but I am still going through analysis of your data (as well as other YP= members) and expect to complete analysis and return of data by end of thi= month. We can certainly schedule go ahead and schedule a time to go over =our results by phone perhaps in the 3rd or 4th week of May if you're a=ailable.

If you decide to continue in the study, =ou will receive a copy of your data - which can be reanalyzed in the futur=. I also plan to (if you're willing) over time and for free continue t= fill in any gaps in your sequence data.

I hope t=is helps in deciding on whether you withdraw or continue in the study. I c=n set goals but with almost no budget (except for the sequencing) and mini=al staff on this project, there have been delays.

If you still have any questions, you can reach me by cellphone anyti=e today: 917-774-3346 <tel:917-774-3346> . If I'm in a meeting and can't pick up, I wil= call you back within 1-2hours (or whatever time is convenient for you aft=r 5pm).

Thanks for your patience,
Joe T=akuria
