[quote=Anonymous]Yes absolutely do it. I have a DD with a rare disease and it’s been more information and data to help her. Genetic testing can be helpful because it gives you your child’s biological blueprint. Their DNA is the code they were born with and it does not change over time. Even if you do not need all the information right away, it can be valuable to have. Genetic information is not just academic. It becomes part of your child’s lifelong medical record. Different genetic variants can sometimes affect how a condition shows up in the body, how severe symptoms may be, or how someone might respond to certain treatments. Research in genetics is advancing quickly, and information that seems like background data today may guide medical decisions later. You do not need to understand every detail of the report. Just make sure to request and keep a copy of the full results so you have that information available if it becomes useful in the future.[/quote]
