Some AAs (n=6/41, 15%) were interested in receiving results that could provide answers about an illness or health condition with which they were presently affected. For example, this mother described her family’s experience with asthma: Now with the grandkids, he’s got asthma, the mama’s got asthma, the first one’s got asthma, we don’t know if the 2nd boy or the 3rd boy, but the cousin got it so it skipped, it skipped the babies, the one and the two, then the cousin got it . . . . so I was thinking, so I wonder what’s going on in my family? (AA mother, P13-03)
