GeneSavvy

March is Women's History Month! Did you know that a woman, Rosalind Franklin, was actually the one who discovered the helical shape of DNA? Did you also know that it is incorrect to say that we get 50% of our genes from each parent? WOMEN contribute more genetic material to their offspring because our mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is entirely inherited from our mothers! Stay tuned later in the week when we take a deep dive into mtDNA and why testing for variants in the genome of the powerhouses of our cells is so important!

As many as 11 million Americans have heart valve disease (HVD)—a potentially disabling and deadly disease—yet 3 out of 4 Americans know little to nothing about HVD. Genetics play a huge role in an individual's risk for HVD - testing with GeneSavvy not only reveals your unique risks, but also can tell you how to optimize your PREVENTION!
