This condition has been in my family for many generations on my mother's side. I'm soon planning on being tested for it but I was wondering if there are ways remove the genetic mutation or ways to slow it down. If one day I decide to have a baby, is there a way to remove this gene to make sure it isn't passed on? See answer
