Re: New CMT 1A Research from Italy

[Guest guest]

I wonder if this even has anything to do with CMT? This family may have

another under lying condition ..

Just my thoughts.

Gretchen,,

This is very interesting to me. In Jan. I was discovered to have white

lesions in the brain, possibly due to CMT. Now, another interesting point is

that

I was originally diagnosed as Type I, but have since been rediagnosed as Type

2, rare form, unknown. Also interesting to me is that I am Italian, of

Italian parents. It appears that my mother had a form of CMT which was never

diagnosed.

Hi, I found this to be interesting. I had a MRI, 3 years ago, due to

syncope episodes. They are saying the syncope is from an autonomic

dysfunction due to the CMT. But they found white lessions on my

brain. My son who just turned 20 had a MRI when he was almost 3

years old after a spinal tap and he also has lessions. My brother

who had never been tested for CMT had lessions, my mom said his MRIs

showed them. He had MRI due to a brain tumor but the lessions where

in different area of brain from what my mom explains. He died in

1992. My 16 yr. daughter had MRI in december 2003 for syncope, they

say it is due to her migraines. I don't know if she has lessions.

We have no Italian in us at all. Just wondering if they will due any

studies like this somewhere else.
