What genetic test for Disability Claim?

[FoolsGold]

What genetic test would best support my claim for disability as a hypogonadal male with social deficits, impulsive anger outbursts, inability to concentrate? I'm short so Klinefelters is far less likely than if I were long-legged.

I've been karyotyped from a sample of peripheral blood as 46XY,
but one cell was 47XYY and one cell was 45X which to me indicates a POSSIBILITY of some sort of mosaicism.

Would further genetic testing bolster my claim?

In the end, seems like our govt. paper pushers did not care about diagnoses. They wanted proof of disability regardless of diagnosis. They wanted doctors saying WHY you could not hold a job - things like why even a sedentary job cannot be expected. That can be because the person is aggressive towards other or has other behavior problems, or because they are incapacitated with specific (list them) symptoms ten days a month, every day, etc. Things like - cannot walk without assistance, or passes out at random.

In your specific case, the social deficits and impulsive anger outbursts and inability to concentrate are really what they seem to care more about.

Of course, the actual test results are very important as well. Sounds like the doctors can already say mosaicism based on those test results. If not - take those results to someone else... or get them re-done.

Would further genetic testing bolster my claim?

In a nutshell - what finally (after years) got my daughter's accepted was not further tests, but very well documented info from the doctor of specifically WHY she could not hold a job at the present time with specific numbers -- and not based on precise diagnoses.

However, there seems to be a random factor built into the system... so who knows. (note of bitter sarcasm here).

BTW - I love your signature with
"Its all in your head" "You are depressed, go see a shrink" "You are malingering". Decades long quest for testing and focus on endocrinology and neurology rather than psychology You might get a kick out of It's Not 'Mental' (http://www.itsnotmental.com) From my experience... it's a lot easier for doctors to tell parents their child's symptoms are all "mental" that to run tests and find gee... they have such-and-such medically wrong with them... especially when the kids have more than one thing wrong.

Anyway... I understand your siggie....
