Genetic Testing Q's

Hi!

I had some questions about this. Who do you see about genetic testing? Can you go to your regular physician? Do they draw blood and is there a limit to what they can find?

Thanks for all of your help! (no I am not pregnant, not even married yet, but super curious for some personal reasons)

A cousin of mine had it done last summer. They ask you a LOT of questions to get ALL your family history and they take blood and analyze it. I'm pretty sure it's comprehsive in finding out anything. I believe she went to her regular OBGYN. I can ask her for more details if you want me to.

Here are some links for you. It would take me a while to type all of the necessary info that you are probably looking for. Feel free to ask questions or to FM me. I am not an expert, but did go to college for this.
