"'I was leaving my mammogram and I said, 'Oh yeah, my dad's BRCA1 positive.' And the radiologist's whole face changed," she recalls. "I got really nervous, but I was playing it off.'" Tohn's doctor made sure she had the genetic testing done right then before leaving her appointment, and a few weeks later, in June 2025, she received her results."

"For Jackie Tohn, the last few years have been a rollercoaster. The 'Nobody Wants This' star has been on a career high. But she's also been going through a challenging personal health journey behind the scenes. Now, she's sharing her story publicly in the hopes that others learn about their own genetic risk factors for breast cancer."

For patients like Michelle, diagnosed with stage IIA colon adenocarcinoma, germline testing at diagnosis provided clinically actionable context beyond her tumor. Using the MyRisk® Hereditary Cancer Test with STAT priority option (<7 days TAT), her care team identified a pathogenic PTEN variant (Cowden syndrome), which is associated with elevated risks for multiple cancers. This result prompted a genetics referral, guided a coordinated long‑term multi‑organ surveillance plan (including thyroid, breast/endometrial, renal, and colon), and enabled cascade testing for at‑risk relatives. See how comprehensive and timely hereditary results can guide care — before and after surgery.

False-negative #cysticfibrosis results can undermine clinical confidence and delay meaningful follow-up. When other prenatal screens rely on only screening for limited variants, certain CFTR pathogenic variants may go unrecognized. The FirstGene® Multiple Prenatal Screen uses advanced AMPLIFY® technology and analytical modeling to deliver up to 99.9% detection of CFTR variants.* Explore how the AMPLIFY® difference can improve CF detection: https://lnkd.in/gNUaQxzb #cfscreening #prenatalscreening #genomics #mfm #obgyn *Wang, J.
