[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for your response. I am puzzled that Jewish people get genetic testing during pregnancy if they are not a race. [/quote] Jews get genetic testing if they are from Eastern Europe. This is called the "Ashkenazi profile." Ashkenazi refers to Eastern European Jews. There are certain diseases that are prevalent or common among groups that have had a lot of intermarriage over centuries, whether they are a race or not. Ashkenazi Jews have a higher rate of certain diseases some of which can be revealed in genetic testing. But people who are not Jewish get these diseases too. [/quote]
