My point was that when discussing DNA tests, people often argue that they don't want to know if they are at a higher risk of cancer.
But this is a good example of something that they would want to know. Because it can likely be mitigated.
That's a good point to keep in mind next time someone says they are unsure if DNA testing is a good idea.

To your point, I don't know if this disorder is something we screen for. But the cost of full DNA sequencing is falling fast, and it's just a matter of time before we start screen for genetic disorders. Thus, the future is bright.
