I have at least five generations on my mother’s side who were diagnosed with Hereditary Sensory Neuropathy (now CMT). It comes down on the x-chromosome so thanks mom, grandma, etc. my symptoms started at 60. My daughter started at 45 so my three daughters and I went for EMG/Needle EMG testing at Weill Cornell Hospital in Manhattan. The genetic team also performed a whole Exome sequencing test. Turns out I have chronic sensorimotor axonal polyneuropathy based on the EMG tests. My daughters do not have that disease (yet and I hope never). The genetics tests indicated that I have CMT2 and CMT4B. Oldest daughter was negative for CMT. Middle daughter was positive for CMT2. Youngest daughter positive for CMT2 and CMT4B. So now it’s seven generations. My genetic tests also identified me as a SMA Carrier and a GAN carrier. My daughters were negative for those diseases. I’ve had these polyneuropathy disorders for at least 17 years now and it’s challenging. I have no feeling below my knees and no sensation in my wrists and hands. I do have walking and balance issues. Lots of falls and several surgeries do to falls. But we learn to suck it up and deal with it. My wife and daughters have been very supportive so I’m doing OK.
