Re-visit geneticist: Newer molecular genetic tests like comparative genomic hybridization may help find the underlying cause. His primary care doctor can order this, coding "genetic disorder, unspecified" for insurance to pay. Geneticists (md's) see adults as well as children. Provide all medical records from birth- current, mom's pregnancy, labor & delivery records, if available a 3-generation family history.
