Only two members of my family died of mnd..I am having symptoms but do not know how to track for the right genes...have I to screen the whole gene sequence or a few allele I do not know plus it costs much more to scan the whole genome...
Both my wither and my aunt survived on bed for 17 long years before dying of pneumonia and respiratory failure and both were involved in the disease by the age of 45 and so am I...it was progressive muscular wasting of lower limbs and so it is to me...within one year I have lost my right leg...weakness began in my ankles and feet more on right side before progressing to peroneals and then to shin bone and thighs ...my ankle and knee is also weak on right leg...I feel tingling in my feet and hands and pain in the muscles of my legs...it is hard for me to walk now.
But I do not know how to test foe the.diseased gene though I am also being affected at the same age as my relatives....
