What Tests Should Be Done For A Child With XYY Syndrome?
My son has XYY syndrome and is 2years old. Except for the typical symptoms in children with XYY, he hums a lot but does not babel or even vocalize. He tends to flaps his arms when he is excited. This occurs frequently when he sees moving vehicles. I am concerned that he may not be able to speak at all and may have other symptoms that would require more tests. I would like to know what other tests we could do besides array GCH and FISH to get to the bottom of this? I would also like to know if it is common for kids with XYY to exhibit his symptoms I mentioned above.
