Geneticists are dedicated to diagnosing SWAN children. SWAN families can assist by consenting to have their child’s details entered into POSSUM (Australian genetics database) as either an undiagnosed or as a specific rare disease (if known). SWAN families will also be able to nominate if they would like their child’s details uploaded to international databases. This will assist with more SWAN children obtaining a diagnosis.
