It sounds like your son has a lot going on. It may be possible that one genetic syndrome may account for the different features that you have described. An accurate diagnosis can help provide important information about symptom management, what to expect in the future, as well as implications for other family members.

We recommend that your son meet with a medical geneticist who can perform a detailed physical exam that can guide the genetics tests and other tests ordered. You can find a medical geneticist through the American College of Medical Genetics website.  

We wish you and your son the best.
