Re: CMT,HNPP,my news, I'm confused

[Guest guest]

:

I don't test positive for CMT, but my neurologist has always thought

that I just have a type that has not been tagged yet. My extended

family was in a study at Washington University in St. Louis, but I have

lost contact and don't know the results. Anyway, my 23 year old son

has all the signs of CMT, but he thinks it is really HNPP based on the

research he has looked at and his symptoms - tingling hands, numbness

in fingers for days on end, no reflex with the knee hit thing....

Maybe one of us should seek another opinion and be tested for HNPP. Is

there a DNA test for it? Is it hereditary too?
