Emma is adopted and doesn’t have any health history from her biological family. She enrolled in myGenetics to learn more about her hereditary health risks for the first time. Through her participation, she gained peace of mind for herself and her baby.
As an internist and a pediatrician, Dr. Yang understands just how important genetics are when it comes to health care. She decided to participate in myGenetics to learn more about any hereditary health risks in her family and to find out more about her Hmong heritage. What she learned empowered her to take more control over her health.
