Hi jachrist,
I know l that the tests ate non intrusive however most of my siblings are in the UK and the US including three who are either nurses or nurse aid. I can't force them. I don't have kid as yet so Dr says I'll have to go through some procedures to eliminate the transmission to future heirs. I'll see if there is a thread on this
Thanks.

Hi ochmnot 22,
Please explain "I'll have to go through some procedures to eliminate the transmission to future heirs." Do you mean for HCM/HOCM? It's genetically passed on and I am not aware that there is genetic engineering available as yet to change the genes responsible for this condition, if they can be found (in my case, not yet). CRISPR technology looks promising.
