He has signs of general Muscular Atrophy, at the age of 16. He is a McCann descendant through Admiral Allan Rockwell McCann. They have ruled out Muscular Myopathy and MD1, Now they are testing for MD2. They have ruled out Marfan Syndrome as well as Fragile X. All Three of my children have disabilities, My eldest ha Autism and ADHD, but is functional, James whom theya re investigating, (Loma Linda University and the Mayo Clinic) is 16, and a twin. His sister is Elizabeth, she has cerebral Palsy , hypoataxia, and ADHD. Because of the spectrum of problems in a single family they are doing a comprehensive DNA analysis. Although the McCann line is only 1/8th of their lineage, it could be this line which has brought forth the genetic issues.
