The first example of this unique type of inherited genetic variant — the KRAS-Variant

In 2006, our founder Joanne Weidhaas, MD, PhD, co-discovered an inherited genetic variant called the KRAS-variant 1. This was a paradigm shifting discovery, as this type of inherited variant appears to be impacted by lifestyle choices.

Although people with the inherited KRAS-variant have increased risk of certain types of cancers, that risk can be reduced by maintaining estrogen levels 1-7. This means by understanding their genetics, women can be especially empowered to personalize their health.
