[quote=Anonymous]Have been to genetic counseling at Georgetown. I recall they said to wait until the kids are adult age - 18/21 can't remember which age - just google it because they wouldn't test until then anyway (this is for a cancer gene which will greatly impact their lives if they have it - 90% chance of cancer over their lifetimes often striking persons in 20-50s - quite a burden for a young person). Good luck. My instinct is to wait until at least 18 if she is a drama queen. Another year or two isn't going to make/break the impact.[/quote]
