The disease originated along a fifteen mile stretch of coastline in North West Donegal. Former Deputy First Minster of Northern Ireland Martin McGuinness, who had links to Inishowen through his mother, died from the disease in 2017. A study back in 1995 found that as estimated 1% of Donegal&#8217;s population could be a carrier of the gene. For many the gene causes a protein which transports Vitamin A around the body to misfold leading to organ and nerve malfunction. Until very recent times the disease was progressive and fatal. Thankfully innovative new treatments such as gene silencing are slowly becoming available. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-16419","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Donegal Amy Documentary Project - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Filmmaker Charlie Joe Doherty is working closely with an at-risk community group in the co-creation of a documentary film that explores &#039;Donegal Amy&#039;.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/donegal-amy-documentary-project\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Donegal Amy Documentary Project - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Filmmaker Charlie Joe Doherty is working closely with an at-risk community group in the co-creation of a documentary film that explores &#8216;Donegal Amy&#8217;.
