Sure, write the researcher. It might help explain the multiple problems. A

pure speculation is that the iron overload overloaded the ability of the

mitochondria (the power house in the cells) to fail. This is the basic

problem with Friedriech's Ataxia (spelling). However, in this case a

protein (Frataxin) in certain types of cells (in the heart and spine and

cerebellum) fail to remove the iron buildup. Write. If nothing else, it

will help them look for other causes in the future.

Lou,

There are many programs in different areas of the country that are funded

by the NIH that do studies on the genetics of families with these types of

diseases in hopes to find a cause and thus a cure for them.

I know these studies are done if they can take verbal histories and blood

samples. I'm not sure about where to locate studies that take just a verbal

history but it does sound like a good idea.

It sure couldn't hurt to write the history down and send it out and see

what kind of response you get. If nothing else, it might help you by simply

putting the story into words.

Hugs and Warm Fuzzies,
