Mom's Genes was written by Shannon Pulaski. Just four months after giving birth to her twin daughters, Shannon discovered that she inherited a genetic mutation that greatly increased her risk of developing cancer in her lifetime. Understanding what was at risk, she made the decision to be proactive about her health and take affirmative action to reduce her risk of hereditary cancer. As a mother, Shannon Pulaski has felt compelled to share her family's health history with her children so that they can understand risk, live proactively, and become educated patients. She created Mom's Genes to help families get a conversation started about their own family's health history. To learn more, visit www.proactivegenes.com
