The Heart of a Curse

As part of a Genome Atlantic project, scientists discovered the genetic marker for “The Newfoundland Curse”, an often-fatal heart disease. With screening, hundreds of high-risk patients have been identified and many fitted with life-saving defibrillators. Researchers at Memorial University and Janeway Children’s Hospital ate continuing this important research to find more answers.
