If so we would love to meet up, or your very welcome to come over to our home if you want:) It would just be so great to meet someone in the flesh that has bleph:) we feel like we're the only ones down here:) Anyways, let us know ok, talk soon:) Leanne and family. -- blepharophimosis Re: Genetic Testing Hello Liz,welcome to rhe group. We live in NZ & there is a Dr Komudi Siriwardena in Auckland who is the geneticist that my daughter , aged 18yrs, will see in a few weeks time. Her & I are the only ones in our family with BPES. Its good to have as much information as you can before going to the geneticist, regarding other family members who are affected eg. aunts, uncles, grandies etc.Now, I`m not sure what part of Oz you are, but there is a Dr Mackey at the Eye & Ear Hospital in Melbourne & a Dr Craig in Adelaide who could help point you in the right direction.Hope this is helpfulKeep in touchMaree-- In blepharophimosis , "lizzy72mal" <lizzy72mal@y...> wrote:> > > Hi,> > My son and husband have BPES and we live in Australia.
