Hyperthrophic cardiomyopathy

Hyperthrophic cardiomyopathy

My dad has this. I have had several echos my whole life and have never found any evidence of this. My son is 2 years old. Do I need to have him screened now or do I just need to wait until he begins playing sports? The pediatrician said wait until he begins sports. I'm kinda nervous about waiting that long. Anyone have Amy experience in this?
