Key Takeaways:

  1. There are many types of genetic tests, and the right one depends on the child’s condition.
  2. A complete clinical assessment is the first step before deciding on any test.
  3. Consult a Clinical Geneticist or Pediatric Neurologist for guidance.
  4. The doctor’s evaluation helps in choosing the most suitable genetic test.
  5. Avoid ordering genetic tests on your own without medical referral.

Complete clinical assessment of the child with a disability is very important. Please visit a Clinical Geneticist or Pediatric Neurologist for a complete clinical assessment of your child. Clinical evaluation is key to understand which genetic test(s) is best suited to indentify your child’s condition. Please do not order genetic tests without referral or consultation from a Clinical Geneticist.
