A member asked:
Are any of the doctors familiar with corticobasal degeneration? my mother has it, and i would love to be able to ask questions.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetic kind?: This is a rough, rapid disease with little in the way of treatment options. There are two questions that you should ask. (1) should the person with the illness be checked for a genetic mutation in progranulin, & if (+) check relatives? (2) for confirmation, can autopsy be performed? (3) how can my loved one's comfort & dignity be preserved? Best wishes. Be strong & stay proactive.
