Listen Before Spitting... Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing: Interview with Kamaria Cayton Vaught, MD

Holly Sims & Bhuchitra Singh

In Episode 17, we speak with Kamaria Cayton Vaught, MD, a reproductive endocrinologist who specializes in infertility, medical genetics, and genomics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. We discuss the ethics of genetic testing, the pros and cons of sending your DNA to ancestry databases, and consent and counseling issues with direct-to-consumer genetic testing. Holly laments about DNA testing her rescue dog and learning that she accidentally adopted a designer breed (she still adores him).
