      That’s a tough question. I’d like to think I’ve discovered lots of things. I recently discovered that changes in a gene (called POT1) can cause people to get brain cancer. Brain cancer is a pretty bad disease, so it’s good to know if some people are more likely to get it so they can go for check-ups more often and catch the cancer when it is smaller and easier to treat.
