Patient Stories
Eric’s Story
Despite his nystagmus (uncontrolled eye movements), Eric appeared otherwise healthy until he was a year old, when he stopped progressing as he should. At 2 years of age, he still wasn’t walking on his own. EEG and MRI test results came back normal. It was genetic testing that finally provided the answers that Eric’s parents were seeking.
A Mother’s Story
Minutes after her son was born, a mother discovered that he was critically ill. At two days old, the baby underwent surgery. Then came more surgery and doctor visits. Our clinic’s GAP testing revealed a very rare genetic defect which also affected other family members.
