On a recent episode of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the family went through genetic testing, but what did the episode leave out or get wrong? I review the documentary Sun Kissed: One Gene Exposes a Nation's Dark Past, about a family who has children with an extremely rare genetic disorder, Xeroderma Pigmentosum, that only shows up at a rate of one in a million in the general population however on the Navajo Reservation they live on where the frequency is 1 in 20,000.
