Previously considered diagnoses:

Tested for cystic fibrosis on two occasions in 2017. After an extensive sweat test the suspicion was written off.

In 2019, CF was suspected again because tests on young children can be uncertain. After a urine sample that showed no abnormality, the suspicion was written off again.

Genetic variants of interest:

Underwent a Whole Genome Sequencing August 2018 but without deviating findings. He was judged to have an unknown ultra rare syndrome with an unclear diagnosis.

Increased probability in Combined Ultrasound and Biochemical (CUB) screening for trisomy 13 and 18 (1:25). In early ultrasound, the femurs were short and it was difficult to see the cerebellum. Later ultrasound in pregnancy was without abnormalities.
