Kostya has several diagnoses, and he needs to undergo an important genetic examination!

Kostya's birth was a great joy, but disaster struck on the 10th day of his life: a brain hemorrhage with severe seizures. Doctors gave serious diagnoses: cerebral palsy, encephalopathy, and developmental delay.

Kostya is now 4 years old. He understands spoken language, but does not speak himself and is still learning to walk independently. He spends two hours a day in kindergarten classes, learning to draw, sculpt, and make crafts. Recently, he started hippotherapy—his delight in interacting with the horse is beyond words! After the session, they eat carrots together.

However, there is a major problem: Kostya has high epileptic activity during sleep, which hinders his development. Doctors have changed his medication and dosages several times, but his EEG results remain the same.

Exome sequencing has already been done, and the analysis revealed a mutation. However, further testing is needed—a chromosomal microarray analysis. This test will help doctors better assess his prognosis and choose the best treatment and rehabilitation strategy. For Kostya, this is a chance for more precise therapy, reduced epileptic activity, and new developmental progress.
