Hi ! Im a newbie to this forum. I am 32 and have had AS since age 12. I am HLA-B27+. niether my parents or my sister have been tested for the gene. A couple years ago I had discussed with my mother about if she or my father had ever thought of getting tested and if she ever thought about having my sister tested. I at the time was curious as to who carried the gene.
I have determined that my mothers side carrys. I am the only one dxed with AS and Crohns but my mothers sister has MS and recently my cousins daughter was dxed with IBS.
I dont know if I would tell the kids. One one hand it could be benificial and on the other it may cause worry and stress about the future for no reason.
Take Care!
Jules
