Like millions of other Americans, Dorothy Pomerantz took a 23andMe test on a whim. And like many other Americans, she received some results back that came as a surprise. Just a few weeks ago, she
wrote an article in STAT News, sharing her experience of receiving BRCA positive results through 23andMe.
