A few years ago, my Dr offered genetic testing. It was not 23 and Me. It was karyotyping and something else at the hospital. They found a long duplication CNV. Has anyone else had this done?

I recently gave a saliva sample to the Simons Foundation's SPARK For Autism campaign.

Yes, I had it done a few years ago. After trying many different antidepressant medications and going through TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) I pursued having genetic testing done to see why those types of treatments were not working. I got my answers!! ! What came back was informative and useful.
