You can if you want and have the time, Glenn  This is not the exact paper but similar discussing this specific gene: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21488221 Another mentioning this gene: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21455071 Another version of this press release: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0622125656.htm another similar: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21094958 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20146699

I believe this specific test is still only in research.
There are DNA tests available for Charcot Marie Tooth, but I don't recall your symptoms being of that type. These are very expensive. http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread121564.html

I am new to this resource. I found out last summer that I have heritary neuropathy. There are times that I have so much pain in my legs that I can't be still. I am in a wheelchair because of a failed knee replacement so I can't run or walk. My MDs don't seem to know anything about HP and they just get blank looks on their faces when we discuss pain control. I take gabapentin and soma is what I take, but every two or three days I have a real fit with it.
