At 15 months old, T was diagnosed with a rare chromosome deletion via CGH (Comparative genomic hybridization) testing. She has a microdeletion on the long arm of her 8th chromosome which reads as (del) 8q12.3q13.2 Right now there is no one else registered with her same deletion, although there are other children with overlapping or similar deletions.
We don't know what this means for T. Some medical documentation of a similar deletion showed symptoms that we've observed in T, and other symptoms that we've yet to see or we hope may never materialize for her.
