23andMe got people curious about their DNA—and that’s a good thing. But when it comes to understanding your cancer risk, curiosity isn’t enough. 🎧 Join us for E67 of the Precision Medicine Podcast as @EllenMatloff explains why clinical-grade genetic testing matters more than you think. trapelohealth.com/cancer-gen… #GeneticTesting #CancerRisk #PrecisionMedicine #Prevention

12 years ago, the Supreme Court decided our genes can’t be patented. That landmark ruling protected access to genetic testing and medical innovation. Now, Congress is trying to undo it with the PERA act. Help stop this. Take action: bit.ly/4dYq9d3 #genechat #SCOTUS
