Synopsis

The HerediGene study is the largest DNA mapping project in the world. Its goal is to understand the connection between genetics and human disease. In this week's edition of Utah Weekly Forum, FM100.3 Host Rebecca Cressman is joined by Jason Gillman, Intermountain Healthcare's Precision Health Operations Director. Gillman shares how the innovative study is already providing vital genetic screening information to those who participate. One 25-year-old Utah woman learned through the study that she carries the genetic mutation that dramatically raises her risk of breast cancer and other participants have discovered the roots of their vertigo is within their DNA.
