April Honours Club - Dr Lesley Andrews
About
Have you ever wondered why Jewish communities are thought to have higher rates of certain genetic conditions, like Tay-Sachs, Gaucher, or BRCA mutations? In this engaging talk, Dr Lesley Andrews will explain why this perception exists and what the science shows. She will explore how everyone carries genetic variations, why some are more common in certain groups, and how testing and awareness have shaped understanding. She will also discuss how genetics now guides prevention and treatment. This session will provide clarity, dispel common myths, and deepen understanding of genetics in everyday healthcare.Date
