Who else in my family should I test for Aicardi syndrome?

Aicardi syndrome usually occurs sporadically or randomly due to new mutations that occur naturally in a person. Because of this, it is unlikely that other members of the family would also have Aicardi syndrome. However, if other people in your family have symptoms that are consistent to those of Aicardi syndrome, they should be evaluated by a medical geneticist. A medical geneticist can be found by asking your doctor for a referral or looking on the American College of Medical Geneticists website.
