hi shannon

i believe in dna testing, my son 16months has nccah.  the endo here that we were seeing, put him on meds to begin with but after i had the genetic testing done, to prove that he didn’t need the meds at this time.  he has been since taken off his meds, and is doing great.  i am pregnant now, and we are already planning to have our other child genetically tested.  we went through new york (dr. new) and had the test done, it cost each of us $600.  but i will say that there is a place in tulsa (i think) and they are a lot cheaper.  i believe that when i check into it the price was around $350 per person.  which is a lot better when you are having to pay out of pocket.  if you have your son tested first then you now excatly what mutations that you are looking for, in all of the others. 

best of luck
