Question about DNA testing
Nov. 18th, 2004   8:53pm

I was at our Endo. today & asked him about getting DNA testing.  He asked why, obviously my husband & I are Salt Wasting Carriers, my youngest daughter obviously is a SWCAH.  The only one to even think about testing would be our 2 yo daughter to see if she is a carrier or not. 

Here is my question, should I have DNA testing done?  What exactly would it tell me?  Any more than what I already know(what I listed above)?  I was thinking of testing my 2 yo, but honestly if she is a carrier would it make any difference at this point?  I plan on stressing the importance of testing when she is planning on starting a family, but now it’s really not a need to know thing.  Or am I misinformed?

This is what I love about this board, I know you guys will have a lot of info for me & I will than be a better CAH Mommy!!!
