Screening tests for genetic diseases - recommendations?
I'm off to the doctor today & will be asking for blood tests to check for carrier status of thalasemia (sp) & Tay-Sachs. I've already tested negative as a carrier for cystic fibrosis & Fragile X. Are there other standard genetic disease tests I can get while I'm at it?
I realise they are expensive & my risk is low, but with our history, I'd rather rule these things out now than deal with yet another fatal baby illness.
