Impact of Presymptomatic Genetic Testing for Hereditary Ataxia and Neuromuscular Disorders
Arch Neurol 61:875-880, Smith,C.O.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Most individuals find neurogenetic testing to be beneficial, regardless of the result. Anxiety or depression may persist in some persons with positive or negative test results. Testing can have a demonstrable impact on family planning and interpersonal relationships. Further studies are needed to assess the long-term impact of such testing.
