Crazy idea: How about, instead of getting this report ourselves, we have it sent to our primary care physician.
That way we don't have to stress that there is some likelihood that we might get some dreaded disease but our doctor could talk to us if the risk is high enough or if we start having symptoms that match one of our genetic risk factors?

Doctors aren't all-knowing or always right. And most of them know nothing special about genetics.

- jessriedel 13y agoGreat, you're welcome to do that on your own. I'd just like to read the report myself.
