Description

As consumer DNA test kits grow in popularity, many people are curious about what these tests can—and can't—tell them. Join genetic counselors Amy Patterson and Kelsey Guthrie for a clear and engaging discussion of the power, promise, and limitations of genetic testing. Learn what to consider before exploring your own DNA, how to interpret results responsibly, and what questions you should ask to make informed decisions.

Join this Hopkins at Home webinar online. This event is brought to you by the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences, the Department of Genetic Medicine, and Hopkins at Home.
