Depends: It really depends. If your affected family member(s) have already had detailed testing, testing for you can cost just a few hundred dollars, depending on what kind of syndrome. If you are "fishing" for a diagnosis, this can costs many thousands of dollars. Generally genetic tests should be done only if there is a specific question that you and your doctor are trying to answer.
