Re: - MIT locates key enzyme for reversing retardation in mice

Yes. That they reversed a genetic mutation after it's materialization, and

reversed the resultant effects-oh my. I'm estatic with hopefulness. Every

time I read it, I

get all happy.

And, the fact that Duke is including Charge under that autism research

umbrella means that if the government approves the requested grant for the

$2.1 billion

(I think that's the right figure-could be 1.2 billion), some of it is going

to get spent on us.

Keep the champagne chilled for the day they approve that!

I don't run into much pubd. by MIT. I think I'll cruise through their

genetics department

and see what else they're working on.

This kind of news will set the labs abuzz all over the world. We should see

a rash of breakthroughs

now that they've smashed this glass ceiling.

I've also run into a couple of medical considerations that apply directly to

most Chargers that

I'll post soon. Most of what I'm finding, you've been posting to the list

for years, but now I've

found it in the medical journals as well. No doc we've seen has ever

mentioned them, yet

they're important to the kids overall health and well being, and should be

brought up,

primarily with endocrinology.

Imagine how fatiguing it must be to be half way to a full-blown

problem all the time, and as most of us parents of older Chargers try to

stress=stress is

a huge enemy in Charge, including physiological stress.

Later,

in Ma. Maybe Di and I should drive up to Cambridge and walks the

halls of MIT

till someone notices us. lol.
