Thanks! In Los Angeles tonight and moving to San Diego. But my colleague Charlie is in London and I know we'll be doing more with MPN Voice soon. We will interview Claire, for sure, at ASH in a few weeks.

Thank you for that it was very interesting to read .

A little while ago I went to a patient doctor conference at the Royal Brompton Hospital as my son has complex congenital heart disease and very rarely his two children have it too and it is not hereditary nor is it genetic .( he's had the tests) .

But one of the researchers wants to do a study on my family as there are genes to be discovered and she was very interested to know I had a gene mutation even an acquired one .

Lots of interesting work going on in this field .

Yes there is, in all illnesses.
