23andMe Genetic Testing: My Experience

voir la vidéoWith a history of certain cancers and diseases in my family, I very much stress early prevention and transparency with my doctor. However, in order to get early testing one usually requires proof of 2 blood family members who also had said health issues. Because my parents are both immigrants, its very difficult to get in touch with their family members. My only choice seemed to be genetic testing. One of Google's founders' wife started a genetic testing company called 23andme (which google also invests in). Dispite the various privacy concerns, I still signed up and tried it. Check out my experience trying out the kit, share your experiences with me, and follow me through my journey. [ go to Youtube.com ]

All in the Family: Genetics and Family Health History

voir la vidéoWe all know that things run in the family, that our genes pass inherited traits from one generation to the next. Sometimes a family can know that they have a genetic condition, but pinpointing the exact problem can involve a lot of medical detective work. One key to unlocking the mystery is the familys own health history. In the age of molecular medicine, what the family knows about itself is a powerful diagnostic tool.All 50 Secrets of the Sequence videos have an accompanying classroom-tested lesson that encourages students to further explore the video topics. Each lesson includes background information, state and national science standards, discussion questions and answers, teacher notes and an activity that will ensure a hands-on, "minds-on" experience.
