I had a positive ANA 1:160 over a month ago, it was nucleolar pattern. The rheumy did several lab tests such as, CBC, CRP, Metabolic Panel and a double stranded DNA. Everything was normal and I am awaiting my DNA results, I have no symptoms nor have I ever. The reason I wanted to be tested for autoimmune is because my brother has been diagnosed with multiple connective and SLE. I am feeling as if I do not even want to know the DNA results. I am currently healthy and do not want to scrutinize the DNA results to death. Is it OK, to not want the results to the DNA and is it possible that I may never develop symptoms?
