Teens and parents share feelings after learning genetic risks in new study

This study involved 162 teens and their parents to understand how they feel emotionally and mentally after learning about genetic risks for conditions like breast cancer, Lynch syndrome, and high cholesterol that might appear in adulthood. Researchers used surveys and interviews to measure anxiety, depression, family functioning, and quality of life. The goal was to learn how people adjust to this genetic information and whether it leads to healthy changes.
