What hospitals offer genetic testing for rare syndromes? |
My son was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome several years ago, a rare genetic disorder on the 15th chromosome. Although he was diagnosed with the syndrome, he has never tested positive to be actually genetically linked to the syndrome. His tests were performed at Cleveland Clinic and at Case Western through a government program studying this syndrome. I would like to have him tested at another hospital not affiliated with programs where results could have a direct effect on research grants. Are Baylor, Boston and Chicago Hospitals the only hospitals that offer testing on a private pay basis? Please help. #1 genetic testing is in maryland Sorry to hear about your son...have you tried Yale New Haven Hospital in New Haven Connecticut...I am not sure if they do but they have an excellent children's hospital...Blessings.. Teaching Hospitals affiliated with Universitys |
