Some of you will remember Amanda Bradley Kalinsky who came all the way to Australia for our Family Conference in 2014 to talk about her experience with Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Amanda carries a mutation for GSS (a genetic form of prion disease) that she inherited from her father and she is determined not to pass that mutation onto her children.
Amanda has written a book- Mercies in Disguise: A Story of Hope, a Family’s Genetic Destiny, and the Science That Rescued Them– to be released on March 21st, 2107 and it tells the amazing story of Amanda and her family.
