That sounds like a pretty decent reason to get tested for it?
Plus modern tests can sample hundreds of gene in one batch. So they will only become better as time goes on, as more linked genes are discovered.

Absolute risk is important to keep in mind, not just relative risk. Depends on things like other risk factors, though. And like you say, if you can isolate ten genes that each have a similar effect, then you're getting somewhere.
