SUBJECT: Chromosome 14
MESSAGE: My son has a deletion on Chromosome 14.  It has been discovered that this is also present in myself.  My son has also been diagnosed with cerebral palsy and the pediatrician says that since I am well with no apparent defects the deletion is not relevant to his mobility or slow development.  Is this correct? As investigation of missing chromosome 14 brings up a lot of worrying results?  I have attached the letter. I would appreciate your comments or help on what questions I should ask. Many Thanks.

Summarized question: Is chromosome 14 involved in cerebral palsy and other disorders?
