PING to a quite fascinating story of genetics, and how a mutation can affect a closed, isolated population.
Also, fascinating for the sheer decency and dignity of the people involved.

From the article:
"They were bluer'n hell," Cawein says. "Well, as you can imagine, I really examined them. After concluding that there was no evidence of heart disease, I said 'Aha!' I started asking them questions: 'Do you have any relatives who are blue?' then I sat down and we began to chart the family."
That's kind of a personal question.
