They are the genetic equivalent of unicorns: 13 adults with genes for rare disorders that always strike in childhood, yet who never developed the disease.
The genes are not for complex diseases, such as cancer where DNA variants merely raise the risk of developing a disease; these mutations cause the disease — cystic fibrosis or familial dysautonomia, for example — as surely as 22 makes you go bust in blackjack. Or so everyone thought.
