Re: Late-onset hereditary axonal neuropathies

Well, Duh!

I wonder how many late onset people there are. My husband was about 60 with no

family history. At 78 he is significantly disabled. His oldest son, age 51,

has the feet but no other symptoms. UCLA MDA said Jim had type 2 but his

current Santa Barbara neurologist says type 1. The patients in this article,

if you read the whole thing, had some type 1 symptoms in addition to the type 2

diagnosis.

It would be nice if they could find the gene. Jim's Athena tests was

negative. I emailed the Florida place looking for negative gene tests, and they

emailed back asking for our phone number, but they never called. Does anyone

still have their email or phone number?
