Treatments For Aarskog Syndrome

Genetic Counseling

Genetic counseling is typically recommended for individuals with Aarskog syndrome, as well as their families. This is done to take an in-depth look at the genetic and clinical characteristics present in the afflicted person. Counseling also allows a clinical team to track the method of inheritance, note particular traits and characteristics, and identify trends within families. This will then allow them to make educated predictions on the future of the condition and its risks within the family. Samples will be taken of the blood, hair, skin, nails, and other bodily tissues for lab analysis. This can be done with newborns as well as when the child gets older and begins to show identifiable symptoms.
