I have an AT Risk friend, who needs to be tested. The problem is, we live in Louisiana and we have no ideal where to go so that she can be tested. We heard the closest place was Houston, but we have no ideal where, in Houston.
If someone knows of a place in Louisiana or the place in Houston, please let us know.
Thank You!

Hi Dee,

Sorry to hear you need a testing center but I think you'll find all the information you need on the Huntingtons Disease Society of America websit

CLICK ON GETTING HELP ......THEN CLICK ON NEAREST GENETIC CENTER

Good Luck and all the prayers for you both....Sunshine Cindy

Hi,
I'm from Louisiana, and my family still lives there, though I don't. Your friend doesn't have to go anywhere to be tested, but her blood has to be sent to a facility that tests. Her doctor would know the best place.

Has she seen a neuro? My mom sees one in Shreveport, which is where the HDSA recommended she go. He's not very good, and I'd like to get her to a better one closer to her.

Please email me privately if you want further details.
