Even then, why get the test at all if it won't change management?
Well, quite a few genetic tests do change management (Warfarin sensitivity, antidepressant response, various differences in activity of various enzymes.), but I even want to know about test results that don't. I want to know if I have ApoE4 or some other gene that highly correlates with currently-incurable diseases. If I have a better idea of my life expectancy and my future quality of life, I can change my behavior today. I would live my life quite differently if I thought I my brain would rot in 20 years.
