Meet Allison, Beth, and Chris. They share their perspectives on key points they think people should know about genetics and how genome sequencing is changing medicine. A central message and one of pgEd’s favorites – our genes are only part of the story of who we are and what our future holds. We hope their stories inspire you to add your voice to the conversation. We invite you to post comments on pgEd’s YouTube channel or share your thoughts through the comment box below. Thank you!
