Hi rimel you are welcome to tunisia you have just contact the right person because im doing genetic tests for xp since 4 years so when you come to tunisia you must visit our laboratory in pasteur institute of tunis and we wilk talke to you in every thing about the disease. But as i know there is a laboratory in algeria who works now on xp i will asking for this but we can also do the test for you in tunisia. The doctors can tell you after clinical diagnosis that if hr is xp or not but genetic test is the only test which confrim that. for mote details you can mail me to: jerbimanel@yahoo.ft
