Someone asked Dr. Lidie for advice on obtaining government research funding. She's not allowed to give such advice and referred those interested to efficacy groups to answer that question.

If I understood correctly, Ron Davis also said that Whitney's gene mutation (that may be implicated in his illness) that they discovered did not come from either parent - it was a random mutation.

For reference: http://www.genecards.org/cgi-bin/carddisp.pl?gene=MTOR

"The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of phosphatidylinositol kinase-related kinases. These kinases mediate cellular responses to stresses such as DNA damage and nutrient deprivation. This protein acts as the target for the cell-cycle arrest and immunosuppressive effects of the FKBP12-rapamycin complex. The ANGPTL7 gene is located in an intron of this gene."
