In the United Kingdom, The CGD Research Trust and Support Group was founded as a charity in 1991 by New Zealander, Ocean Numan, (Paul), with the aim of finding a cure for Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) for his son and other CGD boys through gene therapy. This relatively new form of treatment still remains the greatest creator of hope that inherited diseases will be finally conquered. One of the Trust's dedicated supporters, Rosemarie Rymer, came up with the original idea of wearing jeans, for the benefit of your genes, one day in the year, and paying a gold coin donation to the national appeal. The first UK Jeans for Genes campaign was run in 1992 when the CGD Trust mailed 20,000 UK schools. The appeal raised close to 50,000 pounds. In the second year of running the appeal (1994) the campaign raised a further 55,000 pounds. As a small charity the Trust considered whether working cooperatively with Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital and two other bigger immunodeficiency charities would help achieve greater revenue. In 1997 the partnership appeal raised 800,000 pounds, and the following year 2.7 million pounds. The UK annual appeal continues today and is run by Genetic Disorders UK. It is unrelated to the Australian appeal, though in the spirit of co-operation both charities have in the past shared their experience of running a successful national appeal. Today the CGD Research Trust is known as The CGD Society.

On Monday 26th September 2022, the Longvernal Community Leaders held their first fundraiser. The children of Longvernal were encouraged to come into school wearing jeans and make a small donation. Jeans for Genes is the annual fundraising event for the genetic condition community. Thank you for your support.
It is possible that I interpreted the sentence incorrectly, but I should think only a story focusing on forensics or murder investigation could truly get away with someone wearing their genes. I suppose it could have been a poetic attempt to say the person looked like their parents, but . . . that would be a stretch.
