We met up with the Geneticist this morning to discuss the results for the recent chromosome tests done in the UK.  Apparently a micro duplication has been identified on Jess's X Chromosome.  This was never picked up in either of the chromosome tests done here in SA however the Geneticist explained that this can be traced with the intensive laser test that was performed in the UK.  All three of us had blood taken today.  Firstly from Jess to reconfirm the results found and then from Brendon and myself to identify if one of us perhaps has the same defect which would verify if it is herediatory or not.  Our samples will be couriered off to the UK shortly and we have to wait another 4 - 6 weeks for the follow on results.  Finally, we have a new starting point and a renewed hope for some answers.
