When should i have my child's genomics tested?

Test for what?: There is currently no recommended routing genetic testing. Only tests recommended are done during the newborn period and any other time only if there is a clear medical indication.

??????????????: There are > 200 metabolic problems that have gene components.Everyone likely carries at least 4 defective recessive genes that remain hidden because the normal paired gene makes up for the error.In some ethnic groups a specific carrier state is screened, when needed, but most are not. Every state has newborn screening for a variety of treatable issues.Beyond that, there needs to be a reason.
