I'm looking for a complete list of genetic syndromes that need to be tested for separatly because they do not show up on a microarray test. Syndromes such as fragile x, Praeder Willie, angelmans, etc.

I've Googled it but I've come up short. Does anyone have a list like that or know where I could find one?

    Are you working with a geneticist? You could go a little cray-cray with Dr. Google and genetics...

    You could try looking up stuff on www.rarechromo.org or www.chromodisorder.org

    Yes I'm working with a geneticist. I just am a micro manager when it comes to medical stuff. I don't take a doctor as gospel. I need to check and verify. Maybe that is wrong, but so far it has worked well for us and got us help that would have been over looked.

    there are like a million, I would think.  Quite literally.

    My son has an XLID, which needs to be tested for specifically.  I would think you would need to be working with a geneticist because there are probably lots out there that your son doesn't have the indication to test for.

    While I can understand wanting to make sure that your child is tested for all applicable syndromes, I would go with the recommendations of the geneticist based upon delays and characteristics presented by your child.
