I think the newsguy who said it was a genetic disease wasnt quoting from a script. Sounded like he was one of the clueless misinformed. He probably read it somewhere that it might be genetic and thinks that's a fact. When they havent ever confirmed it as being a genetic disease.

I dont live in the city where that story came from. (I'm in Omaha, the news story came from Lincoln, NE) My boyfriend tells me that particular news station isnt the greatest in Lincoln.
