CBS News Featuring Huntington's Disease

I just saw this announcement today:

HDSA Bulletin

Huntington's Disease to be featured on CBS Evening News with Dan Rather tonight

CBS News has completed a story on genetic testing and will be airing part one and two today and tomorrow (November 17th and 18th) at 6:30 p.m. EDT.

Part one will feature experts in pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) which was reported in HDSA's Marker magazine in 2003.

Part two will focus on Huntington's Disease and includes an interview with Nancy Wexler, Ph.D., President of the Hereditary Disease Society (HDF) about her work to find the elusive gene that causes HD and her experiences of living with HD.

Part two will also feature an at risk hockey player from Wisconsin whose family is affected by HD.
Please consult your local listings for the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather for the time and station on which this two part story will air.

You have just received an HDSA BULLETIN. HDSA BULLETINS are swift way to communicate latest news in various areas that interest the extended HD community. As important news items are gathered, we aim to pass them on quickly to our leaders, committees, chapters, social workers and friends.
