More parents ponder cancer gene tests for kids

September 22, 2008 By MARILYNN MARCHIONE , AP Medical Writer

(AP) -- Women are going for breast cancer gene testing in record numbers, forcing more parents to face a tough question: Should we test the kids? About 100,000 tests for breast cancer gene mutations were done last year, double the number in 2005. The trend may grow even more because of widening insurance coverage and a new law banning genetic discrimination.
