diagnosing CMT/blood tests

[Guest guest]

I have been meaning to add this. An EMG/NCV can determine CMT Type 1 or

2. As for subtypes, like 2C, etc., not all types have a blood test

for this. The last I knew, Athena now can test for CMT 2E. For anyone

interested in the DNA tests, contact Athena (the lab) at

http://www.athenadiagnostics.com

Also Dr. Younger informs me that he knows of several researchers that

are interested in discovering testing for the Type 2's. I will be happy

to put anyone in touch with him regarding this - but the stipulation is

that the person requesting the Type 2 testing information research, must

first have had the CMT1A and 1B tests come back as negative.
