Yes!! My father is the one who passed down the gene to my sister and I (we are in our 20s). I had a DVT and bilateral PEs a year ago that almost killed me. My sister got tested and she was (hopefully) able to prevent a clot by being removed from birth control pills (which we were both on).
Please get your little girls tested! :)
