I always thought that it was par for the course to test the parents of a newly dxed cfer. Well it is here in Scotland (I guess this is one benefit of socialized medicine)this is how they discovered that I had 2 mutations, albeit 2 RH117 that dont appear to have given me any symptoms whatsoever, atypical you could say.

But this illustrates exactly what you are concerned about, I would be wanting a full test done in your position, especially with your background symptoms.
