Damn. I just got my copy of the genetics report for cancer risks. It doesn’t actually tell me if I have the 'likely benign' PALB-2 variant that my sister has because they don’t bother reporting anything that they think is benign. One of the points of this exercise was to find out whether or not I have that specific variant. I could have variants on every gene tested, as long as someone in the US had labeled it benign, and never know.

::sighs:: I’ll see if the genetics counseling people have that information and if I can pry it out of them. I kind of suspect they won’t want to tell me.
