Yes. But it’s not a definitive test. Hopefully genetic marker tests will become cheaper and widely available.

- DoreenMichele 6y agoIt's not intended to be a definitive test. The first test usually isn't genetic. It's purpose is prescreening to decide who to refer to larger medical facilities for more definitive testing. For rural clinics dealing with people where referring someone to a large hospital in a big city involves expensive travel, being able to prescreen helps prevent financial hardship for local families.
