Need help. is 9 months too early to determine if my nephew has a problem such as fragile x?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Easy study: If you have a family history that raises this concern a cheek swab can be sent for the fragile x study.Access to the proper lab kit to obtain the swab can be arranged by your pcp or s/he can refer you to a location where this can be done.An evaluation by a clinical geneticist or developmental pediatrician may be more helpful in the long run & encompass a broader understanding of babies needs.
