    Love what you’re doing and your progress. I don’t know how, other than politically, to help get Pharnext approved in Canada. Obviously it is easier once a drug has FDA Approval. I have a son who could be in clinical trials. I had DNA Testing which confirmed I have CMT1A so we assume he does also. Will the drug be affordable in the US and Canada?
