Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I am asking this to the mito groups... My sister was diagnosed with M S before we were aware of mito. She has ptosis and some other symptoms similar to my mito. Her neurologist told her that mito could be definitively diagnosed with a blood test....Can that be so? Dr. Shoffner diagnosed my mito with a muscle biopsy. I know he took some blood and urine also. Have I missed some new information? Thanks, in FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 I'm waiting for my genetic results to see if they find the specific mutation. I have several people lines up who have neuropathy, cognitive issues, and muscle weakness in my family, and I would want my kids screened. Dr. Shoffner doesn't think my mitochondrial defect is mtDNA, it's probably nDNA. I have paternal relatives with similar symptoms, so it will be interesting to see if they carry the same defect.
