ALSO~~ I just did a search on high liver enzymes and consistant sleeping... you may want to have him tested for Hepetitis C ~~~
I do not know about websites. But I would ask him to be tested for

Congenital Hypothyroidism
Cystic Fibrosis
Galactosemia
Glutaric Acidemia Type I

Homocystinuria
3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Lyase Deficiency
Hypermethioninemia
Isobutyryl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency
Isovaleric Acidemia

Long Chain Hydroxyacyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency
Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD)
Medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MCADD)
2-Methylbutryl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency
3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA Carboxylase Deficiency
Methylmalonic Acidemia

Clubbing is associated with:
Lung disease:
Lung cancer, mainly large-cell (35% of all cases), not seen frequently in small cell lung cancer[3]
Interstitial lung disease
Tuberculosis
Bronchiectasis
Suppurative lung disease: lung abscess, empyema
Cystic fibrosis
Pulmonary hypertension
Mesothelioma
It is worth noting that clubbing is not associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Indeed, the presence of clubbing in a patient with COPD should prompt a search for an underlying (lung) cancer.
Heart disease:
Any disease featuring chronic hypoxia
Congenital cyanotic heart disease (most common cardiac cause)
Subacute bacterial endocarditis
Atrial myxoma (benign tumor)
Gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary:
Malabsorption
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
Cirrhosis, especially in primary biliary cirrhosis[4]
Other liver diseases (in the "hepatopulmonary syndrome", a complication of cirrhosis)[5]
Others:
Hyperthyroidism (thyroid acropachy)[6]
Familial and racial clubbing and "pseudoclubbing" (people of African descent often have what appears to be clubbing)
Vascular anomalies of the affected arm such as an axillary artery aneurysm (in unilateral clubbing)
Clubbing associated with other symptom
HPOA
Bone scan of a patient with Marie-Bamberger syndromeA special form of clubbing is hypertrophic pulmonary osteo-arthropathy, known in continental Europe as Pierre Marie-Bamberger syndrome. (In dogs the condition is known as hypertrophic osteopathy.) This is the combination of clubbing and thickening of periosteum (connective tissue lining of the bones) and synovium (lining of joints), and is often initially diagnosed as arthritis. It is commonly associated with lung cancer.
Primary HOA
Primary hypertrophic osteo-arthropathy is HPOA without signs of pulmonary disease. This form has a hereditary component, although subtle cardiac abnormalties can occasionally be found. It is known in continental Europe as the Touraine-Solente-Gol
