G. Boles, M.D.

Co-Division Head

Medical Genetics

Childrens Hospital Los Angeles

Assistant Professor of Pediatrics

Keck School of Medicine at USC

will be our special guest on Monday evening - 3/21/2005 - from 9 PM to 10 PM

Eastern at the MDA Mito Chat. We anticipate many participants and questions,

thus we will use the following format. We realize that the format is

somewhat strict but this allows us to have order and to make our guest

comfortable. If you are coming to view the chat and not ask a question -

please log off and log back in as a " guest " . This will allow the maximum

number of people who have questions the opportunity. If you have asked a

question and it has been answered, please log off and log back in as a guest

so that others have the opportunity to enter the chat. The chat allows a

certain number of participants and when we exceed that number, no one else

is allowed to enter.

As you enter the room, you will be given a number which will be openly given

on the chat site. That number is sequential thus in the order you entered.

When your number comes up, you may ask one question and only one question

will be open for the doctor at a time. When she has completed answering the

question the next person in the sequential order will be allowed to post

their question. You will be notified by private message when it is your turn

to ask your question just prior to the time to post it. You might find it

helpful to have pre-posted the question in preparation for entering but be

very careful not to hit the send key until you have been given clearance to

do so. Please post your question in ALL CAPS as this will help Dr Habas

recognize each new question. In this case - it will not be considered

shouting. When our guest has completed answering the question she will post

a " ? " to let us know that she is ready for the next question to be asked.

Please reserve this chat for questions to be asked of our guest only. It is

a very special gift of time and expertise that the guest is offering us and

we need to treat our guest with respect. If you wish to chat with someone in

the room, please go to the private chat and communicate.

Anyone who violates the instructions will receive a warning. If a second

warning is necessary, the person will lose their privilege to be in the chat

and will be removed. We hope that we don't find it necessary to do this.

The chat transcript will be available on the MDA website as soon as it has

been edited by Dr Boles and the MDA Chat Administrator. Sometimes this takes

a considerable amount of time as these individuals are very busy. We ask for

your patience while this is being prepared. We are very happy you have

joined us tonight and hope you enjoy this special chat session. We also

express our gratitude to Dr Boles for being with us for this chat.

Dr. Boles is the Director of Clinical Genetics, Childrens Hospital, Los

Angeles. He received his medical degree from University of California at Los

Dr. Saneto told me today that he will be doing an MDA chat on Monday night.

Did it perhaps get changed or is there another MDA chat?
