[QUOTE="Angela Chilling, post: 26486, member: 33"] That can't be correct because Nf is an autosomal (non-sex chromosome) genetic condition which means if one parent has it, then their children only have a 50% chance of getting it. I thought it was never established that either Cliff or Pam had the condition (before we knew about Hutch McKinney), they just feared they may be carriers because Digger had the diagnosis. Back in the 1970 there was no DNA testing so they couldn't have said Cliff had Nf unless he have had symptoms, which he didn't. It's a nice theory about Pam's cancer and it is fiction so they don't have to be true to the facts of condition but I think it would be stretching the truth a bit too much. [/QUOTE]
