Yep, i've been donating for about 15 years and then one of the supervising nurses mentioned it to me a couple of months ago. It's either that they've only just worked out a financially viable or accurate method of testing for this particular sub-type, or that knowledge of it's uses in sickle cell anaemia has increased.
