Chromosome Microarray

Ok, one more thing for the day.

We finally got the results for Sadie's Chromosome Microarray test, which show in more detail the genes that are affected with her karyotype.

Luckily, not much changed. She is still missing the 8p23.3 region of her 8th chromosome. However, the difference came with the additional xp material. The original Chromosome Analysis test showed additional xp22.13, but we now know that it is a shorter band of material with the addition of xp22.2 material. The genetic counselor said that additional material usually doesn't make a lot of difference, it is the missing material that has the most affect.

Pretty neutral information, not helpful, but not hurtful either.
