6. My Scotty is about 34-6? And no, the age of onset for him
or perhaps for us was 24ish (when we KNEW something was really wrong, but it was a lot earlier for him). It's now 10 years later, 2 more kids, and he's definitely getting worse.
Stem cell research might save his life.
As for Freidrich's, onset is not young. When he finally found out what ailed him, it was a half gene from each (divorced/lesbian/remarried) parent that made it happen. There's another 'child' involved who has no symptoms of Friedrichs.
