Re: No more free gen testing with the Periodic Paralysis Association?

Thanks a lot!

The simple testing for the most common mutations I have already done (at CeGaT, for a lot of money!). So it must be a full sequencing to detect deletions, duplications and splicing mutations in the intron.

I was once in a study for morbus pompe. They checked my pompe gen free of cost and found a new mutation, but heterozygot. So I don't have the pompe desease.

Studies are great! But I think that now noone else in the world has an interest in Myotonia.

Stephany, I saw a trial that is still recruiting in Holland. You have to have confirmed genetic testing to qualify, however I'm thinking they may be able to tell you where you might get full sequencing done for free or participate in a similar study that includes genetic testing:
