the disconnect
rohrer01
I think this is where our disconnect resides. Dr. Ogilvie has not found compelling evidence that AIS is triggered by heredity. He's found some interesting correlations that suggest that certain children have an increased susceptability. Someday he may find the genetic blueprint that triggers Scoliosis. But until that time he's got a hypothesis.
I should add that certain genes make us more or less susceptible to the flu virus.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but that's roughly what Dr. Ogilvie has found for Scoliosis.

As far as getting a textbook on AIS genetics, I have no idea where to find one. You might try the book store. But IF you find one, chances are it will have been written by Dr. Ogillvie.

An unlucky combination of "vulnerable" genes could explain why some people recover from the flu overnight and others struggle to shake off the virus for weeks.
