This just arrived... the science hasn't...

We spoke with Dr. Griffith at Riley Genetics today. After extensive testing of all known cranio related FGFR genes the results remain inconclusive. They swept FGFR 2 completely, FGFR 1 and 3 in the "hot spots" and completed the Twist sequence whatever that means. Basically ever condition both syndromic and non syndromic that are known to be genetic were tested for and found to be normal. Clearly something genetic is amiss, however we do not have the technology to find all of it yet...
We have an appointment for Leah next week with Dr. Havlik at Riley (craniofacial surgeon). Update to follow.
