Understanding Hispanic Background Questions for AFP Screening


Question
Why would I be asked if I had any Hispanic background in regards to the AFP testing?

Answer
Hi Nicola,
sometimes it is just a formality when they ask these questions just for the forms just like name address, etc. Another  thing, sometimes hispanic may have some hereditary diseases such as greeks have mediterranean fevers, etc.., afro americans have sickle cell etc.. Please answer them.
