Nancy Wexler is a hunter. Her quarry is the gene responsible for a
fatal, inherited sickness called Huntington's disease. Nancy's work
is a breathtaking race against time not only for others but maybe
for herself, as well. Nancy Wexler is the daughter of a
Huntington's patient and is at risk for this disease. Finding this
gene is a vital step toward preventing or curing Huntington's and
thus saving lives. Nancy's work takes her all over the world,
specifically to small villages in Venezuela where the mysterious
gene affects more people than anywhere else on the globe. Blood
samples generously donated by the villagers hold the clues to
discovering the gene. Hunter, detective, scientist: Nancy is all
these, plus a friend to people everywhere who are affected by
Huntington's and other diseases of the brain. Gene Hunter is the
powerful story of a courageous and dedicated woman whose passion
for science is both personally and intellectually satisfying.
Author Adele Glimm draws on firsthand accounts from Nancy and her
friends, family, and colleagues to tell us how a curious,
strongminded woman became an accomplished neuropsychologist. This
