Re: sinus infection won't clear (Genetics)

[Guest guest]

When my son had the Genetic Microarray cgh, it showed  partial trisomy on

Chromosome 16......this area has many important genes, the geneticist told us ,

and so he and the hematologist and immunologist and other specialists are

attributing his Chronic Neutropenia, his Immune Deficiency, thrombocytopenia,

malfunctioning cilia in his respiratory tract, his seizure disorder, his

syringomyelia, the adrenal insufficiency, the myopathy and ophthalmoplegia,

short stature ....all to this chromosomal abnormality.....

 Signature Genomics wrote a letter to the geneticist recommending " Genetic

Counseling and Family Planning for this family " ...(that's how they wrote it)

 ...That was all moot, anyway, because my husband had passed away before e

had the genetic tests...very sad....don't know if my husband also had the

Partial Trisomy and that's why he had so many health problems....but they tested

me and I was normal all Chromosomes......Geneticist said it is possibly de novo,

but we'll never know....I just thank God I have my precious boy, he is my

life.......sue
