(i) dysmorphic facial appearance and one or more major structural congenital anomalies; or
(ii) intellectual disability or global developmental delay of at least moderate severity, as determined by a specialist paediatrician; and
(c) the characterisation is performed following the performance for the patient of a service to which item 73292 applies for which the results were non-informative; and
