I'm not sure how to keep a stream of q's and A's going this is regarding my earlier post on center core disease and subsequent questions. How is genetic testing don? Is it tissue samples blood test or what? Who does it ?MD Specialist ect? Can the test be done at one place and the results sent to a lab elsewhere such as Washington U in St.Louis? Is there a "panel" of test that could check for other potential neuro disease? Who determines what test should be considered - a genetic specialist? Does genetic testing and chromosone testing the same thing?
