[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having been through this with not being able to get life insurance because my health record simply mentioned that I was thinking about getting genetic testing, I would be cautious about testing your children before they were of an age where the information would be useful. For example, BRCA testing doesn’t need to be done on someone under 18. It would be a needless burden to do it for a child. I don’t know what your concern is, but I would think strategically about any testing that you do. [/quote] Thanks. The issue here is increased risk of renal cancer, and specifically a very aggressive type. I have some time before I have to cross the bridge on whether to test them. Probably lots more research in the future. I am glad to hear from others with similar issues.[/quote]
