Edge of the Known World by Sheri Joseph

In a near future where DNA tests are used at ID checkpoints, brilliant Alexandra Tashen is hiding in the open. After a blissful childhood, she learned of the secret in her genes: a harmless inherited marker and ancestry that would get her deported to a brutal regime and likely death. Her adoptive father's experimental gene therapy masks her, but not completely. Every security check is a one-in-ten chance of getting caught. When her father vanishes, Alex risks everything in a headlong and often comic search across nations.
