In this episode, I chat with Ms. Hardy, a licensed, certified genetic counselor at JScreen, which is a national-nonprofit offering genetic testing and education. JScreen is a national non-profit public health initiative, based out of the Department of Human Genetics at Emory University, is now offering cancer genetic testing for BRCA and 60 other cancer susceptibility genes. These genes are associated with many types of cancer including breast, ovarian, colorectal, prostate, pancreatic and 30+ others. The test is accessible 24/7 to all 50 states via an at-home, saliva testing with telehealth genetic counseling. They also do education and screening around reproductive carrier testing for over 200 genetic diseases.
