"I had my whole family genotyped. My sister found out she's a carrier of Bloom's disorder. We have a feature called family inheritance where I can see where I'm genetically identical to my sister and where I'm half similar to my sister. Bloom's is on the gene BLM so I was able to type in BLM and see I'm genetically identical to my sister there. I was able to deduce I'm probably likely to be a carrier."
