An undiagnosed genetic condition is a rare disease that is thought to be genetic, but where the specific cause of the condition’s symptoms, signs or characteristics are not known.

Sometimes geneticists cannot find a diagnosis for our child. This can be heartbreaking and leave us feeling numb, confused and even more anxious. We can struggle to find the right direction to take and know how to support our child’s growth and development. Our children’s medical conditions, physical condition, cognitive processes and behaviours might not make sense. It may be difficult to connect and engage with our children and the wider community.
