Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 My husband has CMT (he was diagnosed at age 14 by nerve tests) and they think it is 1A but no one else in the family has it. He has atrophy, just started wearing braces and overall the symptoms haven't been terrible, but are starting to progress more I think. Anyway, in October, we had testing from Athena Diagnostics ordered and the tests came back inconclusive. They're reprocessed and are currently processing again saying " there are 3 genes we are still looking at " . Has anyone else not been able to identify a diagnosis this way? We are concerned because he's had breathing troubles and the neurologist wants to know the type to figure this out. We also want to have kids soon and are concerned if his breathing troubles are related to the CMT, do we want to give this to a child or adopt if it could shorten their life span, etc, etc. Anyway, any feedback would be appreciated!
