Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hi Pedro, I have CMT and three of my kids also have CMT. My CMT kids are 19, 16, and 15. I believe we are type 1A. I am happy you found . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hello Pedro, A child (boy or girl) of your son Pablo has a 50% chance of interiting CMT. Pablo's sister could also have a child with CMT. If the exact genetic marker (Type 1E or X) can be found, it is possible for the sister to have Pre Implantation Genetic Diagnosis, best referred by a neurologist to a genetic counselor for a thorough understanding. Here is a link to one of the many facilities that do PGD. It is not available for all the 50 or so 'types' of CMT yet, but you can check for updated information on which types are available. http://www.reproductivegenetics.com/genetics.html There are also some articles in our Files section in the Pregnancy folder. You may want to contact Dr. Dario Fernandez dfernandez72@... or one of the other doctors at the Center of Studies in Gynecology and Reproduction, Buenos Aires, Argentina or the Reproductive Medicine Unit, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi Pedro, Welcome to this wonderful group. I have CMT myself and my two boys (14 & 17). We are using toe off blue rocker braces and it had changed our life. I have to say I never heard of CMT and deafness together. I thought CMT was specifically a limb problem. When did your son notice he had hearing problems? I would like to know since one of my son's is only 14. Thanks, Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Dear Gretchen, Thank you very much for your kind answer. I will write to Dr. Darío Fernandez. Have you heard about ascorbic acid (C Vitamine) for CMT1 patients? It seems to be of great help for them. Best regards Pedro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi Pedro, Welcome to this wonderful group! There is another member of our CMT family who suffers from CMT-related deafness. Her name is and she is a graphic artist. website: http://www.smkgraphicstudio.com/who_is.htm I don't recall what type of CMT she has, but I'm sure you could email her and find out. She just recently had a cochlear implant that was successful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Pedro, Thank you for answering. Each day one learns a little bit more about this disease. Sometimes it is a little scary. Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
