    I hate to get all nerdy in here, but have any of you seen the latest developments in the way of "curing" trisomy-21??

    Also, Robby...the image in your signature would make a really cool patch.

    It's Howard the Duck. he was a comic. banned in the 70's because he was too 'rude' for children.
    It was my first 'handle' on BBS's (early form of internet forums before there was no internet)

    No idea what that is?


    :+1: Sounds like something that only people who are far more intelligent than I know anything about

    Down's Syndrome...trisomy-21 is the real name for it because it's caused by an extra copy of the 21st chromosome. They are using a gene on X chromosomes that is only active in females. Since females are XX, and they only need 1 X, this gene activates on ONE of the X chromosomes and "shuts off" the other X chromosome...leaving only 1 active. They are taking this gene and using it to "shut off" one copy of the 21st chromosome. It's still in vitro right now, but it looks and sounds promising.

    I think he meant the sig line. Not the avatar

    Is that like when people say I like the image in your signature, and you think they're talking about your avatar? sorry multitasking on short brainwave length. plus way above my pay grade.
