I'm not sure where I should post this, so I'll try this newgroup and ask someone to cross-post it to the appropriate one if necessary: It was hard to miss all the controversy with Honest Abe when the gene associated with Marfans Syndrome was identified, but I am having trouble finding someone or someplace that will do a DNA screening for normal (?) folks. My doctor thinks it is a good idea, but he was unable to find a commercially available test. Paraphrasing him: Only the research centers are doing it, and none will do so for outside patients. So, I am wondering if anyone is looking for another test subject. I live in the Minneapolis area, but I have my own wings (aluminum, not feathered) if travel is necessary. Any comments, suggestions, or referrals are welcome. Please send to ptb@ahse.cdc.com, ptb@world.std.com, or uunet!world!ptb, or give me a ring at 612-482-8786. Paul Barnett
