Thanks, but I was talking more about asking questions to discover conditions that I do not yet know about.

I was just mentioning the hereditary disease on my mother's side as an example of something that is good to know. I think we know about everyone in the family who has had it, that we are likely to ever find out about it. In addition, some members of the family did participate in a medical study a few years ago.

Sincerely,
Kent Anderson

You might try teaming up with medical researchers who are studying it.

Can anyone who has been able to get this information suggest the best way
to inquire?
