That caught my eye yesterday!!!!!!!  The DH has a rare genetic disorder that is caused by an enzyme.  I always wondered if defects in enzymes played a role in cancer, like it does in other disorders.  I was sooo glad to read this kind of research.

Let's just pray that these are all important findings, and that researchers are finally on the right track to unraveling the mystery of bc!   Deanna
