Re: mitoldies: chat question

I pulled out some old info from the second mito conf. They have Rett

as one of the mito diseases such as MEERF, etc. Their thinking might

have changed since then. Dr. Haas has written several papers

on mito and Rett and autism and mito. I found some of my notes that

said that the Rett defect on the X chromosome was the cause of autism

in mito patients.

I'll see if I can find anything else on-line. I was unale to access

the papers by Dr. Haas. It might be a good question for " ask the mito

doc " or " ask the MDA doc " .

Laurie,

Thank you so much for your help. That's a good idea to

ask the doc, I've never done that. Our neuro seems to know a lot

more about mito than rett, so he may be on the right path,

unfortunately I have to second guess him a lot. We pushed on

the fresh biopsy with Shoffner, and I think he was amazed at

how extensive he is in his testing. He told us that if it wasn't for

" our fancy biopsy " we would have never suspected the rett also.

Any idea where Dr. Haas practices? If this is something that he

is interested in I would love to contact his office.

Thanks so much, that is much more than I have found on my own.
