Read the article and also saw it on last night's news.

It must be very scary for those ladies and their daughters but screening may save lives in the long run.  Science is making new discoveries all the time and to trace the gene to Westray is amazing.

I have a very small amount of Orcadian heritage going back around 5 generations.

Thank you Harry for posting the link.
