    Hi Paola,

     

    Wow, Wow Wow as the 2021 report is so great and needed. This is by far the best report that has been created by ADI and others. I have two recommendations. Add just a little bit more about SNAP. Also, to include the full list of the known genetic biomarkers known as of today.  I have lost count of that but I think it was around 35 or more.

    Thanks so much for this as I believe this will be a blueprint to help many to work on getting a diagnoses. Hope fully it will also educate medical staff.

    I don't have time to read this now.  My brother is arriving this afternoon and I'm still waiting on the plumber to come!  I will read it later.
