Why do you think that you may have CMT? Are there others in your family who do have CMT or who you suspect do?
As far as DNA blood testing, yes it is very expensive if you have to test for all the types that they can now test for. However, if someone in your family has been tested and confirmed to have a type of CMT, then that is the type that would run in the family. And then, if you still wanted to be tested, you could have DNA blood testing for just that type. http://www.athenadiagnostics.com I believe they still have a program to help with the cost of testing.
