Guest guest Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Hi Betty: Good luck for your son's surgery .....I will cross my fingers and toes... My son and husband and I all had DNA testing done for CMT1A through the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (Ottawa)...the lab at the University of Ottawa co-ordinated the testing. We too, like , had it paid through OHIP, although it took a couple of months for results. Dr. Geraghty in CHEO Genetics arranged the testing and Dr. at the CHEO Neuromuscular Clinic referred us for the testing, based on our son's slow nerve conduction velocity, absence of reflexes in his lower limbs, and other clinical signs of problems with gross motor milestones. If Gavin had not turned out to be a spontaneous mutation, my parents and sister were planning to be tested too...I'm really surprised that the doctor said that you couldn't have testing done. Best of luck Cheers Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Betty, I too was tested by DNA. My Nero ordered it at McMaster hospital. I think they had to send to a LAB in Ottawa, but it was done and it was not a problem at all. It was all covered, not even the talk of any money, thanks to OHIP.
