hello,in theese days i’ll try to get info about genetic tests…i want to have it.
i’m looking for 5 alfa reductasy and androgens resistance syndrome.
I still don’t have any news about them, but tomorrow i’ll ask to my doctor.
I just would like to know if it is expensive and what do u think about it…
do u think theese 2 tests could be enought to understand the gene situation for our problems?..or needs some more?
let me know
Here is a lab that does Steroid 5-Alpha-Reductase Deficiency testing – located in SWEDEN. If you can convince your doc to send you for this test great, not sure if you can pay for it yourself but it will probably be somewhat costly if you do.
