On the genetic testing, unless it is some type of disease that would make your offspring consider not having children, or there is some type of treatment such as in familial amyloidosis (domino liver transplants-and they test for amyloid on you first-so it isn't a genetic test). What good would the testing do? I know it can alert insurance companies to 'pre-existing conditions' upon which they can deny you coverage, or even seep into your children's records as well. I was advised against that kind of genetic testing at this point in my life.

Genetic testing is a double edged sword.

Some of it is helpful, some is not.

I have idiopathic PN, and they are not going to do any genetic testing. They already told me that.

Now there is some genetic testing available on drug metabolism. They can test you for Cytochrome P450 polymorphism to see if you can't tolerate some drugs, but again, you will likely have to pay.
