I believe that this is where I say hello to everyone...I think...I was a mite confused about the process of signing up.
But even if I did it wrong, I shall charge forward.
Hello! I'm Maya. My sister shamelessly plugged this site until I joined, lamenting the wonderful doings of the members. And I decided that it sounded enticing... I do enjoy seeing astray fanfics (and/or Mary sues) burned at the stake. or just corrected. -

Welcome to the Board. The only required reading is the Original Series and the Board Constitution. Everything else is just details.
Entertaining and often useful details, yes, but still just details.
Enjoy. {= )

Have a shapeshifting plushie. It can turn into anything, depending on what you want. It can become a flying monkey, and I've seen one turn into a baozi fairy before. And Cthulhu sometimes appears, for those into Nightmare Fuel or cute stuffed eldritch abominations.

Dear Eru, I need a Bleeprin scrubbing brush to erase that image from my brain.
And you have just cursed that fic into existence. As if trojie and Pads didn't have enough to do with the threat of more LxC, you just gave those two poor, brave women (well, technically both women) the threat of SxD. Ew ew ew.

I have writer's block for basically everything now... except one thing which I may need your help with. Are you familiar with something called Vrolik's syndrome/brittle bone disease/glass-bone syndrome (take your pick of the names)?

Just a few questions really... by

The main thing being, is it hereditary after it appears? Will any children (if they can even have children) have it?
-
According to wiki, it's autosomal dominant by
on 2009-06-20 10:49:00 UTC
Reply
Which if I remember my genetics correctly suggests to me that heterozygotes (people with one copy of the gene) will display the syndrome.
Which means that if one parent is a heterozygote and one parent is a non-sufferer, their children have a fifty fifty chance of having it. If one parent is a homozygote (has two copies of the gene) then all their children will have it.
Wiki seems to have a very comprehensive article on the subject here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteogenesis_imperfecta which should probably all be taken with a pinch of salt, but if you want any biological terms explicated and wiki doesn't have a nice link to a page for them, feel free to PM me on LJ. You have my LJ, right? -

And yeah, I just found that article. Here's the character I'm writing about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ListofcharactersinMassEffect#Jeff.22Joker.22_Moreau
He's only got Vrolik's syndrome in his legs (and I have no idea if he's hetero or homozygote). In the ME universe, it's possible to treat, but not cure Vrolik's. -

Well in that case you've got the luxury of deciding whether it would be better for the plot of your story for him to be a hetero- or homozygote :D

Though if it 'creeps' to soap opera levels, I smack it back down with a vengeance. In fact, given that my Pokémon series is growing rapidly darker, I've decided that, to counteract it, every fifty or so chapters, I'll have a completely off the wall chapter. The first one will have far, far, far too many egg jokes because of this guy: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Exeggcute
