Thanks for your response!  I may look into the research being done at University of Connecticut. I just dont know much about it and would like to learn more.

Thanks again

Not all cases of ACC are inherited. Maternal medications, herpes virus are amongst other causes.
If you want more details about genetic studies you can  participate in a research study which is being conducted at the University of Connecticut
Best wishes.
