  • The astrophysicist is using preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to eliminate her future children's risk of inheriting the BRACA-2 gene mutation.

Sarafina El-Badry Nance, a 28-year-old astrophysicist, has taken proactive steps to manage her health after discovering she carries the BRCA2 gene mutation, which significantly increases her risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Following her mother's battle with breast cancer, Sarafina decided to undergo IVF to preserve her fertility before potentially having a preventative double mastectomy and oophorectomy. This decision was influenced by her desire to have children in the future while minimizing her cancer risk. She has openly shared her journey on social media, aiming to raise awareness about genetic testing, the implications of BRCA mutations, and the importance of taking control of one's health. Her story highlights the emotional and physical challenges of being a "previvor," someone who has not had cancer but takes measures to prevent it due to high genetic risk.
