This episode of CHASING THE CURE profiles the reputable geneticist, Michael Hayden. Originally from South Africa, Hayden decided early on that he wanted to make a difference. He began to study Huntington's disease, thought to be very uncommon in Africa. His work brought him to Canada to do research at the University of British Columbia. With a partnership with Pfizer, he now studies what he calls "extreme genetics," the study of rare diseases, which will hopefully shed light on common ones. He now devotes himself to the study of Tangiers disease, in the hopes that information gleaned from the sixty affected families may hold the key to eliminating heart disease. <45mn 30s>
