[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get your whole family tested. It’s free at https://allofus.nih.gov/[/quote] Why isnt this suggested pre-conception to understand your risks from you/the other biological parent?[/quote] There are companies doing this now. I think it will be more mainstream in the coming decades as the science improves. I think people like Elon Musk are using it to choose embryos with the best genetic health. For example, if you have 8 possible embryos, on average the one with the greatest predicted future health will live years longer than the one with the least. We could really reduce the number of children with major health and developmental disorders if we allowed families who had some genetic risk to pre-select the healthiest embryos. Hopefully this is a possibility in the decades to come. [/quote] I don’t think that even with private companies there are doing this with respect to autism. [/quote]
