ns is diagnosed with genetics blood testing. at chp of Pittsburgh the genetics department meets with the family and takes a detailed history. they send blood samples for testing. NS is passed through the generations. a pediatric specialist will know more about syndroms than a run of the mill pediatrician. know this from experience. coordination with your pediatrician and a team of specialists will guarantee your family a great experience. childrens hospital not only treats the disease/condition, they treat the person/family emotionally and mentally.

A diagnosis of Noonan syndrome is usually made after a doctor observes some key signs, but this can be difficult because some features are subtle and hard to identify. Sometimes, Noonan syndrome isn't diagnosed until adulthood, only after a person has a child who is more obviously affected by the condition. Molecular genetic testing can help confirm a diagnosis.
If there's evidence of heart problems, a doctor who specializes in heart conditions (cardiologist) can assess the type and severity.
