My daughter and myself have been waiting for our genetic testing results now that my neurologist requested 14 months ago is this unheard of? I think as it's an unknown gene mutation litaf gene she's not interested in helping US but would rather be The First to study this MUTATION

It does sound a long time. Mine was just 1A and took,I think, 9 months. - which is longer than most.

I suspect they look at all the commonest CMT- causing genes, but have no idea what they do with very rare or unknown ones.

I can well believe there are neurologists out there who are more interested in their research than the patients they should be trying to help. (I am very fortunate that mine is not like that). So can only wish you all the best and hope you will not have to wait too much longer for some answers.
