Komo News covers The Hereditary Cancer Project at UW Medicine, led through the Brotman Baty Institute for Precision Medicine. This project focuses on improving the detection and communication of inherited cancer risk through genetic testing. The initiative, known as ConnectMyVariant, helps identify individuals who carry genetic mutations linked to higher risks of cancers such as breast and ovarian cancer, and supports sharing this information with family members who may also be affected.
