Children with unexplained problems in their development can be referred to genetics clinics; the number having such referrals is increasing as new technologies enhance the number of genetic variations that can be identified. From the perspective of the child and their family, this raises a number of issues social science research can help us to understand. In particular issues such as understandings of kinship; feelings of parental responsibility; the uncertainties involved in diagnosis, and the different ways the child is visualised through the stages of diagnosis. As new generation sequencing enters the clinic it is important to consider how what happens to children and their families may both change and stay the same.
