introduction - hello everyone

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to say that I am all new to this CMT disorder. I found my

birth mother last year who suffers along with her other three sisters with

" fibromyligia. " Now one of the sisters has been diagnosed with CMT level 1A.

I have two daughters who may have carry this genetic disorder. I understand

that this level is quite common, 1 in 2,500 carry this genetic code.

I walk 35-40 minutes 5 days a week. I have had trouble with heel spurs and

" bad " knee joints. However, I now take Glucosamine which has helped

tremendously. My question is this, because I have not been tested to see if

I carry the CMT disease, do all females automatically carry this gene

mutation or do you have a 50/50 chance of NOT passing this on to your female

off-spring?

Just wondering what to expect in the future.......
