An informative article

Hey Kristy,

I thought you might like to read this link. It was very informative. You know

what caught my eye when reading up mosaicism is that mosaicism is " two or more "

different cell lines in the body. I had really forgotten that. So, just thinking

here, it is possible to have normal cells, trisomy cells and translocated cells

all in the same person?

I thought the intereting thing in the above article link was they admitted that

to have a child with mosaicism or even full blown trisomy that one of the

parents must be an undiagnosed mosaic! (that is kinda what I thought all along.

Because how would someone inherit genes from someone who does not have that gene

already. Even " new mutations " --as they so call them---really cannot be new

mutations because the change in the DNA would already have to be present in the

DNA " donator " ---or parent, right?)

P.S. i sent it to both addresses because I was not sure if one was working yet

or not. And BTW, I never could get signed on in the groups. I might just request

to get signed up on my new address. " A true measure of love is how much truth you
