Where does one go to get genetic testing?

[LostOne4Ever]

I am wanting to get tested for Klinefelter syndrome but my doctor said they don’t do that type of testing.

I went to another doctor and they took a urine sample and the urologist they sent it to said it wasn’t likely. So she declined to have me tested.

I just want to get tested. Where can I go or what can I do?

1. Mayo Clinic?

2. Most academic hospitals will have a group performing genetic testing...

i.e., hospital associated with the medical school in your state/area. If physicians are seeing nothing suggestive clinically, though, they may be unwilling to send it out because insurers won't pay without clinical indication (and some may refuse to pay at all). So, you may have to be willing to pay for the test in full.

3. You can order your own tests at Sonoran quest labs.

Maybe others in your part of the country.

I had some genetic testing done, the insurance Co. paid out a couple grand for it. FYI.
