Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. I have a son diagnosed with Ataxia a couple of years ago, and saw a post from a young woman who was also diagnosed (in 2009) without a clue as to the particular genetic "flavor". I'd done too much 'Internet Searching" when he was first diagnosed and my husband was going to Afghanistan on his last deployment, and have gotten away from trying to figure out what's going on with him or how I can contribute to helping find a cure or fund research, so decided to look for some support groups to join to see if others have gone through the same challenges with finding a connection to a known genetic sequence. Maybe I'll run across that post from 2009... Would love to know how that young mom has progressed, coped with her diagnosis.
