Ray - I did a cheek swab last month as well and awaiting results. It was sent to a lab called Variantyx, as they can also do a genetic test for some that are ataxia related as well as CMT specific. I didn't ask for it, but my PCP offered it, so I thought - why not? If it helps discover anything that can help me my bloodline or research, I figure it's a good thing.

Debbie – I can't recall the name of the lab to which my test was sent, but I should be hearing the results on Wednesday, 2/28, when I have my next follow-up with my neurodoc. – Ray

Deb - When I went to Johns Hopkins in Dec of 2022, I had asked about genetic testing relating to PN beyond CMT. I was told that I would need to have a minimum of 3 family members, including myself with evidence of PN in order to do genetic testing. I can't come up with one family member let alone three.
