Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Just a quick note here, I thought you may be interested in this. Remember when I mentioned that Alport's sounds a lot like Fabry's? Well I am certainly NOT a genetic person AT ALL, but it looks like the gene that is affected is the same gene as Fabry's is. Weird or what? It's the Xq22. Of course I have no idea what that really means, other than coincidence. I also don't know anything about stem cell research, but I'm wondering if some of the hereditarty glomerulonephopathies such as Alport's etc. would be studied in stem cell research. I must keep reading....... unfortunately not today though, I'm trying to get some stuff done at work, but I just had to share that with you. No wonder they sounded like they had a lot of similarities. Hope all is well with you and Rob. Take good care. Bonnie Quote
