"Time Woman of the Year Takes Charge: Uncovering the Cause of Her Morning Sickness"

Geneticist Marlena Fezjo, who suffered from severe morning sickness during her second pregnancy, was initially dismissed by her doctor. She later discovered the genetic cause of her condition, hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), and is now opening a healthcare center to support women with underdiagnosed health conditions. Fezjo's research identified a genetic risk factor for HG and aims to use this information to predict and prevent the condition in the future.
