Today, we're sharing the last slide of our Brighter Futures Series, where we discuss ways that genetic testing results can be used to improve children's lives.
Some genetic conditions come with medical and lifestyle recommendations to best address children's needs. By pursuing genetic testing, families may discover certain screening recommendations and lifestyle modifications that can help a child live as healthy a life as possible.
If your child has an undiagnosed health condition, a genetic diagnosis may help you know how to care for them.

DNA Day celebrates the completion of the Human Genome Project in April 2003, as well as the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA in 1953.
Every year, ASHG - American Society of Human Genetics celebrates DNA Day through a writing contest for students in 9-12th grade across the world. Submissions are due on March 6th. Student participants can win up to $1,000 in genetics materials grants!
Here's this year's prompt:
"Many human diseases have a genetic component. Some diseases result from a change in a single gene or even multiple genes. Yet, many diseases are complex and stem from an interaction between genes and the environment. Environmental factors may include chemicals in the air or water, nutrition, microbes, ultraviolet radiation from the sun, and social context. Provide an example of how the interplay of genetics and environment can shape human health."
Learn more and submit your essay at www.ashg.org/dna-day/.
