How In Our DNA SC is pioneering genetic screening for South Carolinians
A simple test to learn about his ancestry uncovered an unexpected syndrome that increases the risk of cancer.
MUSC’s In Our DNA SC seeks to enroll 100,000 participants in genetic testing over the next four years at no cost to the participant. In turn, participants will learn if they have a genetic risk for high cholesterol, or familial hypercholesterolemia, and hereditary breast and ovarian cancer or colorectal cancer.
