Joselin Linder - To Catch a Killer Gene
Manage episode 286466633 series 2866302
When Joselin Linder was a teenager, her beloved dad, Dr William Linder, became mysteriously sick in his 40s. His doctors, as well as medical professionals across the US and around the world, watched his body slowly decline. But there were no answers. By age 49, he was dead.
One of the world’s leading genetics research teams - at the Seidman Lab at Harvard Medical School – discovered that Jos too had inherited the same genetic mutation that had not only killed her father, but five other members of her family.
For perhaps the first time in medical history, this population (known in scientific terms as a FOUNDER POPULATION) has been isolated and through the efforts (and immense sacrifices) of Jos and her family, the gene won’t be passed on to a 5th generation.
But those living with the gene - including Jos and her sister Hilary - are still fighting to find a cure.
