[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are both Jewish, so we did get tested via Jscreen. Unfortunately they messed up his results—they were supposed to only test him for what I had (he has some health anxiety) and instead Myriad somehow ran the full, non-Ashkenazic panel on him. This actually skipped one thing I carry. Three things we learned from this: 1. don’t do anything cute, these companies aren’t smart enough. 2. Jscreen tests for WAY more than companies like Dor Yeshorim. It is debatable if this is a good idea (but see point 3 below). 3. not all diseases are tested for termination reasons. There are some diseases that can easily be remedied at birth. Other people may not be comfortable with terminating certain diseases (for example, cystic fibrosis) but knowing that your child will be born with it sets them up for the most success possible.
