Genetic Factors of TN

I am curious about other people that have TN in their family.

I have ATN, my mother has TN and my great-grandmother had TN.

I am creating a family tree of neurological issues for a study being done through the University of Toronto. It is very interesting.

This is the article that prompted me to become involved.

Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been following the Facial Pain Research Foundation and hope they DO find a cure within 10 years!

As far as I know, I’m the only one in my family with TN, although my Mom thinks my Nana may have suffered with it ( never diagnosed and she’s deceased now).

Glad you got involved! (( hugs )) Mimi
