Just personal opinion here: I don't believe it is normal for women to express significant symptoms if only one parent had SBMA. You may have something else going on. My personal suggestion as far as testing kids (even a fetus) is don't do it until significant SBMA symptoms are present. Once treatments/cures become available this advice would be moot. But until then all you will do is foul up your ability to get insurance. ================= email:rheitzman at gmail |
