Genetic testing...

We received a call yesterday from Newcastle hospital and they said one of the doctors on Professor turnbull's team saying that they wanted some blood from me and my parents  urgently because they want to get started on the genetic testing although there was no chance we could get up there before xmas it's 3 hours away and all the ! so they are coming to Huddersfield to take blood from me and parents and get them straight in the lab!  We will probably get the result next year when I have my annual appointment with  Prof Turnbull. They said that i was the best candidate for this type of research. I cant wait to get the results and see if theres anything in the genes because none of my family have mitochondrial disease!  They dont know if it is coming from my muscles or my bones or genes etc... they said it could be from both parents or just one and maybe a completely new mitochondrial condition either way Prof Turnbull  wants to know why am i like this.
