Thank you for your responce.  I did find the information helpful .  The child has wide set eyes and no upper joint on her pinkie fingers.  Other than that they assure me she has no other problems.  Is there a specific test
possibly DNA or chromosome like there is for Downs Syndrome?
I understand this is a missing link of the 22 chromosome sometimes called Catch 22.  The childs sister has been dianosed with it, she is 8.  Should the anomolies be evident from birth or do they show up as the child grows?
Thank you again  Barb Major
