Chloe's Genetics Appointment

Chloe had a genetics appointment on Monday, December 8th. We haven’t received any news on her DNA testing that is being done at the NIH. The genetics doctor explained to us that it takes time and it could take up to another year before we find out the results.

In the meantime, my husband will be having an abdominal ultra sound done next month to see if he has any situs inverses associated with Chloe’s condition. My husband and Chloe share the same duplication on Chromosome 2 (2p22.3).

We told our genetic doctor that Chloe failed her eye exam at school and at her physical. Chloe will be seeing an eye specialist at Children’s Hospital next month. It maybe that glass could be in Chloe’s future. Her R eye is 20/50 and L eye is 20/40. The genetic doctor stated that the ophthalmologist will be able to see what is going on behind Chloe’s eye. Not sure what he meant by that statement – we will have to wait and see.

Hope you find the answers and links you are looking for.

I have heard of a few special kids having eye issues...there may be a connection to the syndrom.

Wishing you a wonderful Merry Christmas!
