Jason Campbell of Dartmouth, Massachusetts, grew up in Worcester under difficult circumstances. He never knew his father, and his father, Mark Goujon, didn’t know of Jason’s existence.

Jason’s search for his father happened when he was a teenager. The biggest breakthrough in his search came when he took a DNA test.

Goujon’s brother also took a DNA test, linking Jason to his uncle and enabling him to find his father.

This past November was the first time Jason and Mark were able to meet in a special surprise reunion organized by Jason’s wife, Jen. Finally, Jason’s 42-year search for his biological father is finished.

“I come down the stairs and I could see two people up there and I see my dad and I just embrace him, gave him a big hug. It felt so good to put your arms around your dad and to know he loves you and you love him,” Jason said.

Since they found each other, Jason and Mark have been spending a lot of time catching up. They both feel fortunate and thankful to have found each other. Jason also has a half brother, and Mark has learned he’s a grandfather of two.

A quick Internet search of direct-to-consumer (DTC) take-at-home DNA tests will reveal a growing cloud a skepticism surrounding genetic security and privacy. But that’s only the beginning of the story.

According to CBS, the global biotech sector is estimated to be worth up to $4 trillion a year. It’s not surprising that many countries, including the United States, are vying to be top-dog and receive a slice of the payout pie. This involves collecting and analyzing massive quantities of genetic data in vast health information libraries.

While there are potential benefits to analyzing the genetics of billions of people–such as targeted health treatments–the lack of security poses dangerous risks if such information falls into the wrong hands.

Bill Evanina estimates that the Chinese government has at least 23 Chinese-based or affiliated companies operating inside the U.S. These companies are in consultation, collaboration, partnership, investment with U.S.-based companies in an effort to access U.S. citizens’ genetic data.

The global threat to genetic security is so pronounced that the U.S. military strongly suggests that military personnel do not submit any genetic information through a DTC take-at-home kit.

A few years after the peak of direct-to-consumer (DTC) take-at-home DNA kits, skepticism is rising on the security and protection of acquired DNA. These concerns were promoted on an episode of “60 Minutes” that aired on January 31, 2021.

When a consumer uses a DTC DNA kit, like those sold by Ancestry.com or 23andMe, they sign a user-privacy agreement which gives these companies freedom to use their customers’ DNA for alternative purposes.

As the University of California, Davis law professor Lisa Ikemoto puts it, “You’re allowing your personal information to be used by others,” Ikemoto said. “That information’s being transferred to third parties. And it’s being used for uses that you never imagined.”

Tiffany Li, a Boston University law professor explains the problem with Terms of Service agreements is that they are so long, many customers don’t read them. However, by signing away your rights to your own DNA, you’re helping DTC make money with your data.

Because there are very few regulations regarding DNA privacy and protection, DTC companies are able to make money first off your purchase of their take-at-home kit, and again by selling your genetic information to other companies.

To make matters worse, by giving your DNA to a DTC company, you’re not only giving away your personal genetic privacy but that of your family, as well.

Is there an option to get your DNA questions answered without jeopardizing your genetic privacy? Absolutely!

For decades, Greenville police have made no progress over three cold cases:

• A days-old infant found inside a vacuum box and left in an abandoned field.
• A widow repeatedly stabbed in the kitchen of her grand Tudor home.
• A recent divorcee, beaten, strangled, and found dead in her bathtub.

The tragic stories had seen no new evidence until 2017.

In April, the department’s Cold Case Unit obtained a DNA profile from one of the victim’s vehicles. Detectives uploaded the profile into an FBI database to look for potential matches. While there weren’t initially any matches, a match finally came in late 2017 of a registered sex offender living in Americus, Georgia.

The suspect, Brian Munns, was interviewed in December 2017 and detectives obtained saliva samples and further confirm a DNA match. Munns awaits his trial where he is charged with murder, armed robbery, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.

DNA testing also assisted in revealing the murderers of the two cases. One took his own life in 1999. The other was Brook Graham, the mother of the infant found in the abandoned field.

There are many reasons why you should be careful with how and where you submit your DNA results:

Incomplete Regulations

Currently, the regulations regarding how DNA is stored or transferred are incomplete. With dozens of loopholes, companies can make a profit off your purchasing their take-at-home kits and repeatedly in the future by selling your genetic information to drug companies or other industries.

Data Accessed Without Your Consent

In several instances, take-at-home DNA kit companies have allowed police to access their databases for the purpose of forensics. However, this is a breach of privacy, especially if consumers did not sign an agreement.

In Europe, your data can be shared without your consent for scientific research that’s in the best interest of the public. The data is anonymized–free of personal information such as your name and contact information. The same is true in the United States where test results can be shared if they’re anonymized.

No Such Thing as “Anonymous” DNA Information

It may seem harmless to allow your genetic information to be used–as long as it’s anonymous. However, your genetic information is directly linked to you; it cannot be changed. Research has confirmed that it’s possible to discover the identities of anonymous people using the information from their DNA and publicly available information.

You Can’t Retract Later

Once you’ve submitted your genetic information, you can’t change your mind later. Your genetic information is out there indefinitely, to be sold and/or used by whoever has it. While it may seem innocent to spit in a tube to discover your heritage, it may be a high price to pay later.

When Jane Anderson Holmes finally found her long-lost biological family after 40 years of searching, the coronavirus pandemic couldn’t keep them apart!

In late July, Holmes was matched with a first cousin, who was David’s daughter. The family immediately moved to navigate the COVID-19 restrictions and spent Labor Day weekend catching up on a lifetime of stories.

George and Kelly are yet to be found and reunited with the family, but now Holmes can accomplish this with her three siblings.

Scientists have been studying cancer for decades. While there’s a lot we’ve learned, there’s also a lot that we still don’t know about cancer. Thanks to DNA technology, scientists are continuing to learn clues about the cancer process and mutations–with the hope of refining cancer treatment.

A study published in Science is the first of its kind. The study analyzes the DNA changes of healthy and diseased human bladder tissue to better understand the genetic changes in healthy and diseased bladder tissue. The results revealed “cancer-driving” mutations are common in healthy bladder tissue.

Surprisingly, the research team found high variability in the number and types of cancer mutations, as well as in the mutation frequency between individuals. This suggests a wide range of factors influence the cancer mutations in the bladder.

Tobacco use has long been a risk factor in bladder cancer. Though the bladder does not come into direct contact with tobacco, the chemicals are filtered out of the body by the kidneys. Therefore, the bladder comes in contact with tobacco in the urine. The study revealed a new mutational signature associated with smoking, confirming the smoking theory.

Thomas Mitchell, a senior author of the study, said: “Like many cancers, early diagnosis of bladder cancer gives the patient a much greater chance of survival. The presence of mutations in key cancer genes in bladder tumors that are usually absent in normal tissue opens up the possibility of looking for these changes in fragments of DNA that are present in urine. These ‘liquid biopsies’ could be a non-invasive way to screen for bladder cancer earlier, which could help reduce the number of people who die from this disease.”

Analyzing ancient DNA has led to some magnificent findings over the years. We’ve learned a great deal about the history of the world through gene analytics. Now, scientists are discovering the immigration patterns of eastern humankind.

The Eastern Eurasia regions contain approximately 2.3 billion people today. That’s 30% of the world’s population! Archaeologists have learned from fossils and artifacts that humans have occupied Southeast Asia for 60,000 years and East Asia for 40,000 years.

Using bones, fossils, and seeds used by ancient farmers, scientists tracked the migration patterns of the Eurasia peoples.

A particularly interesting discovery is that while many Asian peoples look similar, Eurasian people most likely looked distinct. The genetic codes showed a vast diversity in gene pools, meaning that Eurasian people probably didn’t look the way they do today. It’s likely that their variety of genes were expressed in many ways.

Other genetic patterns indicate connections between individuals from ancient Tibetans, Mongolia, and northern China. However, research concludes that DNA common to all present-day East Asians became consistent about 9,000 years ago.

While this discovery may not impact the lay-person (besides updating your ancestry map!), it shows the rapidly-advancing technology that continues to be helpful both for archaeology and present circumstances.
