Sandi thanks for this. Rob and I were part of a genetic investigation. There are so few families in the UK, at the time I think I was told 11 families. So it became a bigger clinical investigation with people from all around the world. I think our samples (Rob's and mine) went to the labs in the USA. I am now wondering if this article is based on the outcomes of that. I could not really make sense of it to be honest.

But thank you for posting the link here - a few of us would be interested in having that paper translated so I'll write to Drew Proven.
