With a #CDH1 mutation, Jean worries about her adult children's genetic test results. Her son reassures her: “When I saw you live a normal life after surgery, I have not been too worried about having the mutation or not. It’s something that has to be done.” https://t.co/wCABh0nL2G

"...when parents test their children’s DNA before they are old enough to truly consent, those children lose their right not to know certain information." https://t.co/VOJ80bulSa

[Proactive Genes @ProactiveGenes]

"Genetic privacy is just one part of a larger conversation about children’s privacy." https://t.co/VOJ80bulSa

"When parents share their children’s DNA on these sites, they are effectively sharing it with the world, including with the government and law enforcement investigators," writes @nilabala3 https://t.co/82ajnUoz6u

[Breast Advocate @BreastAdvocate]

Your family members share with you more than just the same color eyes or the same kind of hair. When it comes to #BreastCancer, you’ll want to be aware of your family history. #bcsm https://t.co/aJvF3Rw3Wp
