    Hi, my family has C9. I think there have been discussions about that study in our genetic groups on Facebook and could connect you if you would like.

      Search C9ORF72 support group, also the website Ending the Legacy is for C9 also.

      I was in the Metformin trial. It ended in spring of 2024, we are still waiting on results.
