Really the only thing he was doing was the tippie toes and I honestly don't know if that resolved because of the steriods, braces, or ptc124 or a combination of all. We were told in the beginning we might not really notice much change because of where he was at with progression. BUT, if it slows it/stops it, then I would be thrilled.

You might want to check out this link: http://clinicaltrials.gov/archive/NCT01247207/2011_08_16/changes which shows the changes in the PTC study. No defined end date now :).

My name is Damien Lynch. I live in Tipperary, Ireland. Our son Dylan is 6 years old and was diagnosed two years ago. I'm really interested in some of your comments on Idebenone!! It sounds great. Is it expensive to ship to Ireland? Interested in giving it a go. Dylan is on steroids and vitamin D supplements.

Regards,

Damien Lynch
