Hi Karlene;

	A simple gene blot screening test will indicate any gene faults in the
set of any chromosomes.

	Any major laboratory or general major hospital can arrange or carry
out this test. Such a test in Austrlia will take a number of weeks to
get the full results, and our cost is between $A100 to $A150 for this
test.

	Regards,
