My Family Tree: A Work In Progress to Spare Lives From Hereditary Cancer

When ConnectMyVariant member Leann learned she had a pathogenic variant of PALB2, she was able to make medical decisions to lower her risk of cancer. Since then, she has worked to “pay it forward” by warning other family members about the variant.

In this video, watch Leann talk about how she built a pedigree for her variant and helped dozens of others find out about their cancer risk.
