Here is a three family reference... (Alzheimers) "The UW's genetic research is focused on a strain of the disease passed down from generation to generation: specifically, families with three family members with the disease in two generations. By studying those families, where the link clearly is genetic, researchers believe they can home in on some vital clues. " http://www.washington.edu/alumni/columns/march95/alz.html (I also recall a reference to genetics and familial cancer which I believe was part of studies from the Human Genome Project and focussed on studying three or more family members in two generations) Any one else?? cheers ........... murray ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
