But what if there are cancer genes hidden in your dna . Tonight our national correspondent, kate snow has the story of a woman who accidentally discovered her risk, raising a debate over whether more people should be tested even without a Family History. Reporter robin carlin never thought she had to worry about her dna. I thought his great genes. Reporter she was active healthy, had no known Family History of cancer. Five years ago, her techsavvy 22yearold son, eli, got the results of a consumer dna test hed ordered on line. They were shocked to learn eli had an abnormality usually associated with women a brca 1 mutation which dramatically increases the risk of breast and Ovarian Cancers. Robin got tested and learned she had the mutation, too. Her Family History had been hidden. She got the mutation from her father and had passed it on to her son. Would your Insurance Company have covered the test if your son hadnt all right taken one . No. They would not. There are strict criteria for what Family History qualifies you. I did not have that Family History. Reporter robin isnt alone. Half of the women with brca mutations would not meet insurance criteria. If we only offer testing to women who have a Family History, well miss half of the women with mutations. Reporter dr. Mary claire king thinks every woman over 30 who wants a cancer risk test should be able to get one. Until now the tests have cost thousands.

Were talking about things which make you a little more likely or sometimes a lot more likely to get a disease, but not necessarily for sure. Reporter robin says for her the risks were clear. Up to 65 of women with a mutation like hers will get Breast Cancer and 39 will get Ovarian Cancer by the time theyre 70. Robin made the difficult decision to have a double mastectomy and remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes all because her son took that genetic test. I think perhaps he felt guilty because i went through so much. And i kept telling him over and over again, you know dont feel guilty. Because youve potentially saved my life.
