Hey Lori!
I haven't had gene testing done (other than the standard BMB cytogenetics that BerryP mentions), but I have read a bunch of scholarly articles lately about various genes and their possible relationship to bone marrow failure diseases (not to mention other cancer or cancer-like diseases).
Figuring out how various genes can predict both susceptibility to various cancers and probability of response seems to be one of the hottest areas of research.
It should prove interesting.
Good luck!
Greg
