Deletion in RET Gene / Fin's Gear

Today the geneticist called with results from her DNA tests which confirmed the suspicion that her RET gene was "garbled" in some manner. Our next step is for Katharine & I to get tested to determine if we're carriers of the faulty gene, or if Fin developed the gene deformity all on her own.

It really doesn't make a difference to us, but it helps the greater research in Hirschprung's & genome mapping.



I've decided to post a couple of pictures of Fin and her gear for a few people who've shown interest in what kind of gear she sports.
