Anyone any experience of East Asian genetics and LC. I look White British. I have East Asian ancestry. My Great- Great Grandmother. You wouldn't know to look at me or my blonde 5 yr old. Is it worth mentioning to the consultant?* My nodule is peripheral and I'm thinking they'll have not expect a family member to be Eurasian. 

  • I don't think it would harm to mention it.

    I look incredibly White British. I don't fill in the ethnicity because it's a tad complex lol. Some other person had wrongly fillled in WB. 

    The nodule is in the area where the EA gene of female, non-smokers can be. Hopefully, it's all ok. I'm really unsure what it is... Hopefully, will know more soon
