Quite a specific query but has anyone had any experience in testing if their parents Parkinson’s could be hereditary?
Background: I am hoping to start IVF next year and I assume I’ll be asked about family history. My dad has Parkinson’s. No one else in our family does that we know of.
I appreciate on paper it’s low odds, but I don’t want to be blind-sighted at the IVF clinic if they insist I am tested for Parkinson’s or that the embryos are.
I like many would prefer to live my life not knowing if I will later develop the disease, but this IVF may force my hand?
If anyone has any advice please do help!!
Thank you Emma
