I'm guessing that's why some of the SPY's dividends are unqualified. Page 34 of the same website contains the tax information for the DIA. The DIA paid $2.93 a share in 2008, all of which is qualified.
The mutated gene is passed down through a family, and each generation of children can inherit the gene that causes the disease. Rarely, one of these monogenic diseases can occur spontaneously in a child when his/her parents do not have the disease gene, or there is no history of the disease in the family.
The parents, who each carry one copy of the altered gene along with a normal (unaltered) copy, do not usually have an increased risk of cancer themselves. However, because they can pass the altered gene to their children, they are called carriers.
