In My Genes

A genetic test can answer questions you didn't know you were asking — about ancestry, about risk, about family — and sometimes it returns answers no one was ready for. The writers here opened those envelopes and describe what followed.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe the genetic testing experience, from consumer kits like 23andMe to clinical screening: the reasons for testing, the wait, the results and their meaning, and the ripple effects on health decisions, identity, and family relationships. Some found reassurance; others found surprises that reshaped their sense of themselves.

Who it's for

For anyone considering a genetic test, those processing their own results, and families navigating what such information can stir up.
