Sasa Woodruff loves food—she's been accused of having far too many cookbooks. But in 2019, a phone call from an unknown caller changed her relationship to food.
A genetic counselor had called to tell her that despite testing negative for two dangerous genetic mutations that were prevalent in her family, she had a a different, rare mutation called CDH1 which could lead to a lethal form of stomach cancer.
The only way to prevent that cancer was to get her stomach surgically removed.
Woodruff spent years investigating the CDH1 gene before deciding to ultimately get a gastrectomy.
While she's now grateful for the information genetic testing gave her, Woodruff's story raises questions about what kind of information patients should have and what they can
Professor of law and philosophy at Duke University, Nita Farahany and professor of law and biosciences at Stanford University, Hank Greely discuss the implications of growing access to genetic testing and how to weigh the decisions that resulting new information can present.
