Ferrals - my PGD is for a disease called Neurofibromatosis (NF).

The test took much much much longer than originally anticipated. The first part - gaining DNA analysis from the United States didn't take that long (about 5 months) but then the trouble came when trying to gain the gene 'marker' part of the test.
