I took this off our Health news headlines this morning. Haven't had a chance yet to expand on it.

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

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.

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.

At my last Neuro appointment, it was thought that I have a genetic mutation in my DNA originating in Ireland, here is a link to the research:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...00019-0052.pdf

I have been tested but it can take up to 3 months to get the results back.
