Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I was wondering if anyone has opted to have genetic testing for their child? What were the findings? We recently had a micro array (they look at each gene on a chromosomes). They found that he is missing the small arm of chromosome 16. That is what I know so far. They haven't really discussed what this means for him and if is what is causing his apraxia and autism. There has been a recent report out that says some kids with autism have a deletion on chromosome 16. He did have the test where they look just at the chromosomes (not the genes) and didn't find any out of the norm. I'm confused and the internet isn't the place to look for things like this. Just interested in finding out if anyone else has similar findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
