>> probably the best example would be the brca genes in breast cancer and if you carry the gene you have a very high risk of developing breast cancer. there are a variety of difficult decisions you may have to make that range from having a mastectomy to prevent the breast cancer to very active surveillance, to taking a hormone that may be, may decrease the risk. >> rose: the complexity of how many genes for any specific cancer has always been one of the huge mountains to climb, according to my understanding. >> that is correct. >> rose: and what made it feasible for you to do what you did is in part because you are talking about one gene? >> so there is a disease that is sort of a poster child if you will for all cancer, the, called .. chronologic and many worked on that disease and found there was a single gene mutation that drove your cell to become leukemic but it also gave the opportunity for other people to develop a drug that works for that disease. the problem is that -- it is a wonderful story and saved a lot of people's lives and made in some cases other therapies unnecessary bu

>> hello, gene. yes.e saw some snow rolling through the central portions of japan as we went through tuesday. especially for the morning hours. we had a low pressure system tracking through the south, and that picked up the moisture and brought enough cold air to where we saw snow totals from 15 to 20 centimeters in the kanto coach u region. i think we're going to see more snow as we go through wednesday. let me show you what we saw on the streets of tokyo. some of you who are familiar with the layout of this ward you can see how people are still getting around. it wasn't particularly heavy in terms of the snowfall but we did see the snowfall taking place. the accumulations were a little bit higher further toward the north and west, where we saw some of the more cooler conditions. but i think we're going to see even more tomorrow. we have another low pressure system. a couple of them in fact pushing in from the west. now traditionally when we have a system coming in from the west the sea-effect snow ends
