Genomic Scans...a conundrum
Posted: Sat Apr 12, 2008 10:22 am
A thought provoking essay in the LA Times written by a young woman who had a genomic test done by Navigenics, utilizing the technology of the genotyping chip. For those of us with children who might wonder if our kids have the genetic predisposition for MS....would this test be blessing or curse?
It's not cheap...$2500 for a spit analysis. I'm not rushing out any time soon for this test for my child (or myself- my Dad's recently dx with dementia-sigh), but I wondered if others would?
