Just wondering as I may find out if I'm very susceptible to one or not.
Like 10 months ago my Grandfather died of a heart attack, (clogged arteries). He had a heart transplant 16 years earlier 2 weeks after I was born so he did pretty well considering.
Anyway when he died they did some genetic test and found a gene anomaly which increases the chance of heart failure by quite a bit. This makes sense as one of his four sons (My Dad's brother) also needed a heart transplant.
So they are going to test my uncle and if he comes up positive for this gene then they're going to give everyone related to my Grandfather a test for it.
So, all told, I could have an unfortunate genetic disposition for vital organ failure. Which wouldn't be odd as I am naturally pale, and have a very strong pulse.
