The only family member I knew of having scoliosis until recently was a 1st cousin of mine. He is the son of my mother's sister. He had a surgery for it years ago and I've never heard anything else about it and he lives far from me. I ran up on another 1st cousin about 2 weeks ago, the daughter of my dad's brother, she told me she found out she has it, and told me of a second cousin on my dads side that has it, as well as his daughter (my 3rd cousin). I also found out about 2 months ago I have a nephew with it, my sister's youngest son. And here is the little kicker, I found out last week my 78 y/o mother has it. It was discovered about 2 years ago during a full body scan for another problem. For some reason, unknown to me at this time, I was not told about it. I guess you could say my dander is up just a bit about it too. My deceased brother's grandson and granddaughter are around "scoli discovery age" and their dad's parents that have custody of them haven't been told any of this. I've done some chain jerking on that matter already.
I am wondering if anyone knows whether or not any researchers are or may be interested in the both sides of the family thing and 7 members (possibly more??) affected by it.
