1.42 (0.725)
n=64
1.53 (0.959)
n=63
2.24 (1.266)
For questions 25 to 28, imagine you were found to be a carrier for GD Q25: Imagine that your results from carrier screening showed that you were a carrier for GD. Learning that you were a carrier for a mutation causing GD would have been: n=71
1.48 (0.876)
n=68

n=68
4.03 (1.133)
Q26: Imagine that prior to deciding to have carrier screening, a health care provider informed you that carriers of GD have a 10% risk of getting PD during their lifetime. Getting that information in that way would have been: n=70

n=69
3.46 (0.994)
Q27: Now imagine that after learning that you were a carrier for GD, a health care provider informed you that carriers of GD have a 10% risk of getting PD during their lifetime. Getting that information in that way would have been: n=67

Q28: Now imagine that after learning that you are a carrier for GD, you read an article that says carriers of GD have a 10% risk of getting PD during their lifetime. Getting that information in that way would have been. n=69
