May I ask, Who ordered your DNA test?

First, a Neurologist at Stony Brook ordered a saliva test from INVITAE.com which indicated I had multiple gene mutations. I then went to see a Dr. Mary Vo at the Neuropathy Center at Weill Cornell Medicine in Manhattan. Dr. Vo got my daughters and me into a research project based on our family history of CMT. The genetic folks at Weill Cornell did the whole Exome Sequencing test. By the way, you can get saliva testing at INVITAE.com for about $300. They have tests for Neurological Disorders, Neuromuscular Disorders, SMA, etc. Many of the tests are comprehensive in that they look for 100 gene mutations known to cause certain disorders.
