A paramedic told me once that he couldn't get a reading on me, so I assume it happens when I'm super sick because it happened to my mom when she got really ill.

Thanks for sharing the article; very interesting.

Genetics is so much fun, isn't it. I get all my weirdness from my Dad. He was atypical as well and had a very rare disease. Thankfully I did not get that from him. When I was doing genealogy, I traced his mother's and father's lines back and found that both descended from the same family; a brother and sister from the early 1600's. The line did not reconnect until my grandparents and I believe the recessive gene that the siblings carried and my grandparents carried was what caused my dad's illness. This has played out further for me because my uncle has the same illness, which is prevalent in males. Finally, my grandfather's niece married my grandmother's brother and they have children with the same rare, genetic disease. Because of this history, I have always been fascinated by genetics.
