Thank you for the interesting lecture. May I ask a question about it. I do suffer from several diseases: a chronic pancreatitis, a pancreas malformation, a pancreatic insufficiency, a gastroparesis, a chronic pain syndrome, the arteria mesenterica superior syndrome, a prinzmetal angina pectoris, a heart insufficiency, a heart valve insufficiency, the ehlers danlos syndrome type vascular and a recurrent subvolvulus. We don't know if some of these diseases correlate with each other or not. I suffer from severe stomach pain and I get my food with a tube into my stomach. My heart problems have been diagnosed recently but I suffer from them already since many years. I would like to understand if my heart problems are in any correlation with my other diseases or not. For my doctors it is difficult to say/they can not really tell. If you have any links or information about it, I would be very grateful.
I don’t want my child to have genetic testing because I believe in the future that they won’t be able to gain health insurance or life insurance. Does that mean they can’t gain a diagnosis without the genetic test?
