Reviewer's report: 
General 
In my opinion, it is an interesting work with future implications. The findings 
are preliminary and the study is a pilot study. Thus, the small numbers do 
not bother me. We all know that for such a novel study it is difficult to 
gather a large number of patients. The importance of the study is that it opens an entirely new direction for future study and hence I recommend that it be published in BMC-series journal.
