Thank you for responding! I’m not sure what some of the things are that you are talking about. What is Gelsolin, FKTN, and LGMD? Thank you

@michele34, This is the easy part. Gelsolin is also known as GSN, or AGEL, or Finnish Amyloidosis, a systemic cell disease, Autosomally Dominant. Progresses very slowly, but eats on the whole body. GSN attacks the netting around each cell. Then this allows various proteins, etc. to invade the cell. The GSN gene is number 2934, I believe. FKTN is Fukutin Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. It may be the missing partner gene to GSN, as almost no one, if any, who have FKTN tests negative for GSN. LGMD is Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. FKTN is one of these, and there are many.
