Spit Test Results


I got the results of the "spit test" today.  I am not a carrier for anything in the "top 16."  That means my hubby doesn't have to do the test.

Hey! I passed a medical test! ;)  Some of the things that are in the "top 16" test were pretty much 1 in a million anyway, due to my ethnicity, but it's a package deal.  The big one they wanted to check on was CF, due to the locations in Europe my ancestors lived.  Genetics is a crazy business.

Beta Thalassemia
Bloom Syndrome
Canavan Disease
CF
Familial Dysautonomia
Fanconi Anemia Type C
Gaucher Disease
Mucolipidosis IV
Niemann Pick Disease Type A
