Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 The reason for 's PMG is unknown (but then, it's never been suggested to me that tests be run to determine the cause). His younger brother is totally normal (a little too bright - at 4, he already takes me aside to explain how things really are!). I had not heard of the 25% before chatting to you guys and no one had ever mentioned it to me. In fact, no-one has ever suggested that either I or my ex-husband be tested before having other children. As far as I was concerned, Josh's PMG was just a freaky chance thing. genetics Hi, all, So, just to pursue this thing, has anyone in the group with more than one PMG kid had positive identifications of specific gene sites associated with PMG which your children had in common? (Judging from most of the reponses, it seems like no one -- at least in this group -- has ever found a recognizable gene deletion in their child or children, much less one that both children share...) - _________________________________________________________________ Let the new MSN Premium Internet Software make the most of your high-speed experience. http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-us <http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-us & page=byoa/prem & ST=1> & page=byoa/prem & ST=1 _____ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 HI, Jake has not been diagnosed PMG but he does have a neuronal migration disorder due to an extra piece of Chromosone No. 4 in 53 percent of his cells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 hi when testing sophia they told us it will take time as they have culture the cells for testing ,but only told us she has pmg not which type seems to me that the testing is hit and miss some one will tell you that it was a 1 off while some else will say that it is genetic other will say it was caused by a infection , who do you beleive , we are trying to see dr pilz but there is a long nhs waiting list as always but this site has been great as we are probaly getting more info then our local genetic dep as it seems that pmg is very rare and the power off the internet has brought every one to 1 place to gather info the only thing that i have noticed is america seems to have a bit more info than us brits maybe because of dr dobyns , carl and sarah uk cheshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Carl and , I agree with you, our friends from the states, in this group seem to be a lot more informed. Doctor Dobyns name crops up a lot in the postings, he seems to have an interest in the research side of PMG,and not just the diagnosis and follow on treatments for the illneses that go with it. Maybe NHS funds don't stretch far enough to be able to do research in more rare occuring conditions such as PMG,...... that does'nt help us tho, does it!!!! I wonder if Dr Dobyns would be interested in taking a look at our kids MRI's ? Just a thought.
