Perhaps someone can explain to me. I recently had a breast cancer scare and when I went in for the mammogram and ultrasound. After I filled out all the paperwork the technician asked me if I was an Ashkenazi Jew. I'm in my sixties and have never been asked such a question by a medical tech. Does anyone have any idea why this question is being asked. Is there a medical reason. She couldn't answer my question. When I looked at her puzzled she looked at me and said well if you were you would know it.

Supposedly:

Ashkenazi Jewish women are 13 times more likely than non-Jewish women to carry a genetic mutation that causes women in their 30s or 40s to be diagnosed with breast cancer. This phenomenon puts one of every 40 Ashkenazi Jewish at increased risk of getting breast cancer.

I work in the medical field but am low on the totem pole. Our patients are strictly OB patients. The majority of them opt for genetic screening of their fetus. This gives them the opportunity to know the risk of their baby having any chromosomal defects such as Down Syndrome. The question of are you an Ashkenazi Jew is a part of the collective information used when resulting the test. I don't know why but I believe Ashkenazi Jews are predisposed to certain genetic conditions. Hope this helps.

Before jews were known as jews, whom took the namesake from appropriating Judea from the tribe of Judah that built it, they were Edomites, and before that, Caananites. Both Edom and Caanan were lands where the race mixed humanoids dwelt prior to Whites coming onto the scene. Jews are race mixed and race mixing is a major factor in genetic mutations. Nature abhors race mixing!
