We have a name for our disease!!! After 6 years we found out Andy has a Chromosome 17 deletion. We don’t have the details on which specific one, but of course they are all rare. At the end of the month we should have more info to get on the right plan of care. View

It was the genetic chromosome array that gave us the answer. He was born with cysts on his kidneys, almost failure to thrive at 2 and then caught up. He has loose ligaments and…[Read more]

    My son, A will be 6 in April. He has pervasive developmental disorder (autism spectrum) and cystic kidney disease. Think we have a good IEP and on right track at school. Mom and Dad need to get on track at home. Kidney disease is mystery and wait and watch.
