@lisal64 .. Actually, yours seems to be a rather typical story. The part many folks don't realize is that MM is a branch of the cancer group, so anything under that in the string must be seen as cancer of a particular type. I have MM>Amyloidosis>Gelsolin>and others will eventually be added to the string. The Dental work gives a clue to Gelsolin (Finnish Amyloidosis), and some other stuff. Gelsolin (GSN) attacks the ACTIN web which holds together every cell of the living organism. That means you. I have about 300 other hits in my genome that I know of that are dangerous in some way. Just do not allow yourself to become comfortable with a diagnosis which leaves no room for additional issues. I would suggest you make yourself comfortable with http://www.OMIM.org, http://www.HPO.org, and other National Institutes of Health internet sites. They have a world of technical and non-technical stuff. A good genetics counselor is worth their cost. oldkarl
