Ds is supposed to be tested for hypochondroplasia.
It's a blood test, looking for a gene mutation, if I've understood it right.
Having looked at some German sites it said results would take two weeks.
Geneticist here said up to 6 months, but didn't explain why. Today I saw the consultant at the hospital and she explained it to me: Samples are not tested as they come in, but they wait until a batch of samples has built up, then they test them all together.
Sigh....
On the plus side, the new consultant is lovely, much nicer than the old one, and she was very impressed with ds.
