Rachel Simpson, ane makore 15, akaonekwa gore rakapera aine chirwere chemajini chinongoitika kamwe chete pamiriyoni chinoti vanachiremba pakupedzisira chichamupa kenza kana chisina kurapwa. Vamwe vose vomumhuri, vanobva kuHeysham, pedyo neLancaster, zvino vari kumirira miedzo ingaratidza kuti ndiani wavo anewo chinjo yejeni reGATA2. Gene reGATA2 rinokosha mukugadzirwa kwemasero eropa, uye chirwere ichi chinoreva kuti ropa romunhu rinogona kunge risina kukwana, zvichiita kuti awane utachiona. Kana kuti, masero eropa angave asina kunaka, zvichitungamirira kuleukemia.
