Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi again Leah, I am very interested in what you know about microdeletions. McKenzie has significant delys but the doctors say it has nothing to do with the mutated FOXL2 gene. The geneticist explained how the mutation is caused my a missing element in the gene but that it only effects how the eye area develops. Her therapists believe that many of McKenzies's delays (mobility, speech, social etc..) are caused by her limited/impaired ability to see and that after surgery she will improve. I am hoping that they are right. The doctors seem less concerned in her than the special education teachers and the physical therapists, they are sometimes more insightful and helpful.
