Cristiano Ronaldo put the hosts ahead within twenty minutes with a tap-in after good work from Joao Cancelo.
However, the hosts were made to pay for not making the most of their other opportunities when Daniel Bessa nodded home from a yard out.
Paulo Dybala blew Juventus’ best chance for a winner 14 minutes from time, but the Old Lady still temporarily extended their lead at the top of the table to seven points.
Juventus came into the game looking for their ninth straight win in Serie A this season, and all seemed to be on track when a deflected effort from Portuguese right-back Cancelo fell kindly at the feet of his fellow countryman Ronaldo, who placed the ball past Andrei Radu from a couple of yards out.
The former Real Madrid winger was denied by the Genoa goalkeeper four minutes later after more smart movement from Cancelo and Juan Cuadrado, and it seemed a matter of when not if Juventus would add to their tally.
However, 22 minutes into the second half Genoa, who had been subdued for long period, suddenly drew level when Medhi Benatia failed to get out to meet Christian Kouame, whose cross was put on a plate for Daniel Bessa to nod past Wojciech Szczesny.
Juventus upped the tempo after the equaliser but only managed to churn out one more clear-cut chance, but substitute Paulo Dybala fired wide of the far post from Alex Sandro’s lay-off as Massimiliano Allegri's side failed to win for the first time this campaign.

Hello, and welcome along to our coverage of Paris Saint-Germain's encounter with Amiens this afternoon.
Kylian Mbappe grabbed the headlines before and during the international break, so will he inspire another PSG rout?
Or do Amiens have something up their sleeves? Join us and find out!
And here is the starting XI for the visitors in the French capital!
1 min: PSG 0-0 Amiens
We're off at the Parc des Princes! How will PSG start after the latest international break?
Don't forget we will also be covering Juventus' match against Genoa in Turin. Here are the teams!
7 min: PSG 0-0 Amiens
No surprise, but the hosts have dominated the majority of the ball so far. Midfielder Christopher Nkunku has been deployed at right-back by Thomas Tuchel in one of five changes from Lyon, and he has been able to get forward a lot so far.
GOAL: PSG 1-0 Amiens (Marquinhos 12')
With all the attacking prowess on show for PSG, it is the simplest of set pieces that undoes Amiens.
Di Maria swings over the corner and Brazilian Marquinhos is on hand to head the ball into the corner of the net.
18min: PSG 1-0 Amiens
The hosts look like they can get behind the Amiens defence at any moment, with Regis Gurtner having to come out to prevent Kylian Mbappe from latching onto a Di Maria through-ball.
21 min: PSG 1-0 Amiens
Di Maria is in the thick of the action at the moment, but he is denied a goal of his own after Gurtner clings on to his deflected shot.
