Guest guest Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 We had the micro array analysis done on our son, Logan, back in December 2009. Logan is 6 1/2 years old and has apraxia, hypotonia and sensory integration disorder. His pediatrician considers him to be on the autism spectrum however the school system does not agree with that. Logan's test results came back two weeks ago. We found out he has Chromosome 16p11.2 Deletion Syndrome. There isn't a whole lot of information known about it except that it is associated with autism and severe speech delay. The testing was $1600.00 and our insurance company paid for it since we had already met our deductible for the year. I would recommend genetic testing. It can shed light on some questions that you may have. Logan's symptoms have always been beyond the apraxia diagnosis. The deletion syndrome that he has explains why we are still having potty training issues. It also explains the apraxia, behavioral issues, hypotonia, developmental delay, etc.... Good luck and I hope you find some answers. Have a great weekend! -Jennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
