There is still a drug just sitting out there derived from a gene of an Italian family basically immune to heart disease. The gene basically cleans the arteries and was featured on 20/20 in the late 1990s.

Do you happen to know the name of this drug? I may be able to find out what happened with it.

I take any kind of early hype on drugs with a grain of salt. Very often, the hyping is meant to get investors to invest in the research, and the reality is not nearly as exciting as the hype. Clinical trials may show side effects that make the drug nonviable.
