    Wow. As I was reading this I couldn’t help but feel like I was reading the introduction to a Mystery novel.
    I looked more into it and it seems to be caused by a mutation in the PRNP gene. I’m wondering if this is something we could look up using our raw data?
    What’s done in darkness will come to light

    They turn to drs but not to God. I think this is a spiritual issue and probably a generational curse.
