A Scots mum tragically discovered she was carrying the same ‘killer gene’ as her father shortly after losing him to Huntington's disease.
Dina De Sousa, 58, fears that her two sons will also inherit the genetic condition while saying the diagnosis has "changed her outlook" on life.
Retired Edinburgh University researcher Dina was told her father was suffering from Huntington's 14 years ago after he had previously been misdiagnosed for years.
