GROWING UP WITH JESSICA (3 DIFFERENT GENETIC CODES)


🟢 "Embrace Difference, Celebrate Strengths!" Did you know that having more than one genetic code is relatively common? Few people better are qualified than Jessica Langenhoff, a Biomedical Information Specialist from the Netherlands, to help us understand why this matters.


Listen to Jessica tell the story how she found out that she has not one or two but three different sets of DNA, what growing up with chromodiversity what like for her, how she learned to embrace her differences - and key takeaways for parents, educators and clinicians gained from her unique, combined perspective of biomedical science and lived experience.



🙏 … we have a small favor to ask. Since our charity My XXY | Chromodiversity™ Foundation started the Chromodiversity™ Podcast in July 2022, over 1500 people in 30+ countries have learned more about little known yet common genetic variations in children & adults by listening to our readouts of original research and our lived experience interviews - the result of countless hours of hard work to help raise awareness of health care providers, educators & families and change lives.

An initial endowment made by a Memorial Fund in memory of Elsje Werner-Polak, gassed by the Nazis in 1943 at age 5, combined with contributions from a circle of early adopters in a handful of countries keeps us open to all and independent of any commercial interests. However these funds are limited and we need your help in order to continue our mission.

Unlike many others, our charity has no pharmaceutical industry or other for profit backers. Just the determination and passion to deliver clear, evidence-based information that is always free from commercial influence. Information like this is vital to change lives - and for demanding better for families, children and adults living with chromosomal differences at a time of exploding diagnoses.

We know not everyone is in a position to pay for podcasts. But as a listener funded podcast, we rely on the backing of those who can. When you donate, you’re supporting our mission to change the way the world considers and supports common genetic diversity. Millions more can benefit from quality information about how to prevent adverse outcomes and live better lives.
