I have just received my results from my genetic test for the C9orf72 mutation.......... I carry the faulty gene.
I'm 33 and have a very supportive partner. Together we have 2 children who are 8 & 13.
The gene is inherited from my dad's side of the family. My dad is 58 and was diagnosed with FTD a year ago. My dad's cousin passed away last year of ALS aged 54 and my grandma, dad's mum passed away aged 59 from undiagnosed ALS & FTD.
If anyone is in a similar situation it would be great to talk.
Thanks for taking the time to read xx
