How Ancestry Matters In Connection To Your Health
Current clinical guidelines and eligibility for insurance coverage limit BRCA testing to
women with a personal or family history of cancer (Robson, 2003)
Ann M.
23andMe Customer
Ann did not know her ancestry origins and
would not have been eligible for clinical
testing under current guidelines.
Ann decided to do 23andMe to learn more
about her potential health risks. Based on her
23andMe report, she discovered she had a
BRCA1 mutation.
Her doctor confirmed the results and she
opted to have surgeries to reduce her risk of
having ovarian and/or breast cancer.
