I had it done years ago and my insurance paid for it because my onc recommended it, since I had had thyroid cancer 20 years earlier. (It was quite costly then so glad it was covered). It was done in a very professional and thorough manner. My result came back negative for one and a variant for the other which was reclassified as negative about 2 years ago and I was contacted once again with the updated result. I believe there are even more mutations that they can check for now. I was glad to get the info as I have two daughters.
