An electronically signed copy of the form will be emailed or faxed or the results phoned to the person on the form if that information is provided.

Thank you for your patience. Remember that the DM Flash test is only one part of the diagnosis of GSDM. In fact, since GSDM is less likely (only 25%) a cause of progressive neurologic disease even in a GSD, other causes should be sought with other diagnostic tests. The GSDM flash test is another way to confirm the probability of the presence of GSDM.
