Multiple types of CMT and Genetic Testing

[Guest guest]

This article Gretchen posted to the 'files' section today is excellent and may

be of special interest to the following:

1.  A couple of weeks ago, there was a thread about whether someone could have

more than one type of CMT. On page 3, it shows that 1.4% of the CMT patients

they evaluated had two types of CMT.  Very interesting!

2. For those who have not received genetic testing due to cost, this article

gives physicians a protocol to follow which can significantly reduce the expense

of testing, rather than just blanketly testing for everything. (See page 8)

Thanks, Gretchen!
