Breaking News About A German Infant
So as I stroll into work tonight, this big discussion greets me as I walk through the door. As I listen in on the discussion, some of the things that were said were topics that I had heard within the past 48 hours. The major topic was this infant located in Germany. I had heard vague descriptions previously about this German child who was/is somewhat of a medical oddity. See, this child is only of 6 to 12 months old and is already showing signs of muscular abnormality. Word has it that this child had already demolished it's crib 3 times by it's simple kicking habits.
The child in point is not just perplexing by heresay, but by visual depictions as well. Those who have seen the child say that this baby is solid as a brick wall and stout as well. Not just fatty tissue, but muscular girth. The second case in point is the mother. Cases and studies say that the mother of the child offered her body to the recent boom in Stem Cell Research. Could this possibly be the reasoning for the child at hand being muscularly advanced for it's age? Or is it just a chromosomial abnormality? Just wondering if anyone had also heard of this bit of breaking news. If this happens to be of true nature, I do fear for the French. Keith;

This breaking news is over a month old, from back in mid to late June. The child is not 6-12 months old, he's over 4 years old. And none of the reports I've seen have said anything about the mother being involved in stem cell research.
Here's a few news articles: http://www.theage.com.au/ http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/ http://my.webmd.com/ Basically, the child is lacking a gene that creates a protein called myostatin in the muscles, and this leads to extemely well developed muscles. The effect has been known in mice for some time, but this is the first known case in a human, and they're hoping it will lead to treatment for diseases like muscular dystrophy. A very cool bit of news, even if the details were a bit off.
