Submitting a Case

Please submit a concise and comprehensive case description that includes the following elements:

  • The patient’s chief complaint or indication for genetic evaluation.
  • Any personal history relevant to this indication, including (when applicable) the onset and progression of symptoms, relevant pathology and age at diagnosis. Include the results of any prior evaluations pertinent to the case, such as imaging, laboratory studies or previous genetic testing.
  • Describe the relevant family history, highlighting features that inform genetic risk assessment.
  • Present the differential diagnosis, with a brief rationale for each condition considered and an explanation of why the patient’s history raises suspicion for these diagnoses.
