Skipping Generations
Well, as mentioned before, none of my children have it but my mother and her sisters all have it and I have it. My sisters and brothers do not have it - I'm the only one. It would be interesting to find out how the gene skipped going to my children.
Now, my son on the other hand has severe psoriasis - worst case his skin specialist has ever seen - his father has it too - very sad to see him when he breaks out. He's been in a 2 year study where he has had to try different medications and self inject a drug to either eliminate the disease or make it lie dormant - when the study ended he blossomed again like crazy. He was taking a drug that is given to people who have had transplant surgery - this was to boost the immune system. He is now being considered for gene therapy - he's only 20 and has suffered with this for 7 years.
I'm wondering if gene therapy would be an option for those who have a history of scoliosis or other genetic conditions like it BEFORE they decide to conceive children. Wouldn't mind looking into that one.
