2.2 Family Family connections are no guarantee for endurance of a continued good relationship. These relationships can be changed or destroyed even without hardship. A test result with serious consequences, such as the molecular diagnostic test result for Huntington's Disease represents, will have its effect on the whole family. Individual family members may be affected differently by the test results. I openly deal with my parents concerning my plan to have the test performed, considering that a positive test result can have grave consequences and a negative result would provide relief to them.
Relatives -Family members at risk are all in the same boat.
Institutions We are linked to institutions in many-layered ways. Our relationships to them can change drastically following a positive test result. You are not obliged to inform your employer about the test results. If you want to do it anyway, you should ensure that your employer can asses this information properly. A positive test result could predict expensive time off work and would thereby endanger job security.
