No My Name is Not DiGeorge
I just contacted Olivia's original cardiologist in regards the Genetic testing that was performed in Kalamazoo. She does not have a deletion in her Chromosome 22 @ 22q11.2 also known as DiGeorge Syndrome.
U of M has submitted a more sensitive test to detect smore specific gene mutations rather than the large Chromosome22 deletion. Now we wait for the more specific results, but overall this is another great development.
It will certainly be a weight off your shoulders if it should turn out that this is not a chromosomal disorder, but just one of those random happenings in nature that just come along and stretch our ability to cope with life to the limit!
That is fantastic news! Kelleyn
