Thank you to everybody who has sponsored me for these two great causes, including many G2 readers.
Evaluation includes careful history and physical examination to reveal potential secondary causes, including many medications, a short list of laboratory tests, and bone mineral density testing by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of spine and hip.
In particular, SEM eliminated a large number of non-multiple-of-three-length indels, including many of length one, and caused the pronounced period-of-three signal, which was nearly lost in the raw 2× data, to re-appear.
"He continues to use his wealth for the benefit of millions, including supporting many causes that few others pursue," said Steven Schragis.
