Looking for WGS and a geneticist. Specific details:
I’m based in the UK but can use online services from other countries too
The NHS won’t do genetic testing unless a genetic condition is clearly established, so I have to go private and self paid.
I’m no expert in this. I’m looking for a genetic test like whole genome sequencing that will show me every single gene and anything possibly wrong in them. Errors, mutations, etc. For example anything at all that can be a cause of a neurological disorder or any other illness. Anything that isn’t normal, is wrong or can cause something. I’m willing to do lots of research.
This must include showing all genes related to autism.
And even allow the possibility of finding new genetic errors like mutations or anything like that which aren’t discovered yet. So I can do my research from there.
Secondly I’m looking for a good reputable geneticist or genetic counsellor that I can speak with, get advice from and ask questions to.
Also is there a service or website which shows all known gene errors, conditions and things? To compare against my findings.
Backstory:
My symptoms may be related to autism, even if that’s the case I want to find associated genes.
However something is very wrong with me.
I am desperate to look into genes because I have explored so many other avenues.
I cannot live like this.
Undiagnosed and unexplained symptoms which are hard to explain. From about 5 years old something has been very wrong. I feel like I’m not in real life, vision is different. This has also, as a result caused severe anxiety, depression, neurological symptoms like stiffness and pain and overall suffering which can’t go on and am desperate to look into the cause. Yes I have explored so many GP options, mental health, etc etc. I can’t describe it with words but something is seriously wrong which I need to investigate.
