What were the risks involved?

The risks mentioned in the clip relate to genetic testing and its psychological impact. According to on , learning about one's genetic risk can change physiology independent of the actual genetic risk. For instance, a study at Stanford found that individuals performed differently in aerobic activities based on whether they were told they had a favorable or unfavorable genetic profile, even though these profiles were not true 1.
This highlights the risk of how belief in genetic predispositions can influence physical performance and possibly overall health. Misleading information or misinterpretation of genetic data can have unintended physiological effects.
