    analyzing said DNA sample to determine the presence or absence of a deletion mutation for one or more of an AGRN gene, ISG15 gene or HES4 gene,said DNA having an upstream region, a downstream region, and a middle region that separates said upstream region from said downstream region indicates absence of the deletion mutation; and

    said DNA having said upstream region and said downstream region in a contiguous configuration is identified as having the deletion mutation.
