5 Look for clinical information Precise diagosis is key to success: Important : - Affected person may have died a long time ago - Individual may have died without a clear diagnosis, with no autopsy - A precise diagnosis may not be possible (then photographies, DNA, fibroblastes, etc. ) - The diagnosis may be wrong! (Carefull in case of indirect analyses ) - look yourself at the patient - look for minor signs in affected and non affected individuals - look for systemic findings - tell patients that many consultations may be needed - additional analysis may be needed - discuss the billing of all the analyses
