Valuing the benefit of diagnostic testing for genetic causes of idiopathic developmental disability: willingness to pay from families of affected children

Abstract excerpt

Idiopathic developmental disability (DD) has been found to put significant psychological distress on families of children with DD. The cause of the disability, however, is unknown for up to one-half of the affected children. Chromosomal abnormalities identified by cytogenetic analysis are the most frequently recognized cause of DD, although they account for less than 10% of cases. Array genomic hybridization...
