Thank you. It was news to me, and very interesting.

Thank you for those links. The gene discovery its very interesting, let's hope it leads to a possibility of of treatment, and even prevention.

The BBC Scotland report particularly interests me, as this is an area I am involved in. Further involvement at national level is on the cards, but I can't say more at the moment as it's still in the air. There is certainly room for improvement.
