Guest guest Posted May 13, 2000 Report Share Posted May 13, 2000 Hi , extremely interesting about X disiguising itself. Also very interesting about the MS diagnosis and how that might be CMT X-linked. Also interesting about the nerve biopsy for Type 2 and the genetic testing showing it is Type X. I had a nerve and muscle biopsy when I was 14 (done in 2 places on my left leg). At that time I was being rediagnosed - the research doctors thought I had MS. However, the biopsies showed I didn't. I recently read somewhere that some diseases inherited actually jump around on the chromosomes, which is going to create some possible confusion when the genetic code is mapped. I can't remember where I read this information unfortunately. Genetic testing still has a long way to go. Research too. This is very interesting news you shared from Zurich. This is exactly why this list exists, to share information and research news and find out what is being done in other countries. Does your Zurich researcher need anyone for his/her project? I'd like to sign up. Keep us informed! I have suspected for awhile that I have X, but have never been tested for it.

That is why genetic testing should be done.
