Advanced Genetics 3595

Hello. I will be editing this page as an assignment for Advanced Genetics within UWO. I will be adding additional information to the article, specifically in regards to epigenetics and future treatment research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zkhan93 (talk • contribs) 17:24, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures

is there any way we can get better pics for this article? the ones here are creepy (my daughter happens to have this and let me tell you, the ones with the kids face edited out is creeeeepy) Stevenwhig (talk) 18:18, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly support this proposition. The picture in the infobox "Taybe.jpg" really bothers me because I don't see anything abnormal about the kid's appearance. Supposedly the image displays "characteristic facial features" of the disease, but to me the facial features look completely normal. There's no information in the text to describe the appearance of the so-called "characteristic" features so that I can even try to know what I'm supposed to be identifying. There is only a mention of "unusual facies" which doesn't give any specific details. This causes extreme stress by evoking paranoia that I have this disease myself. I instinctively reason that if I can't spot the defining visual characteristics purportedly in the image, I must be normalized to seeing them and can't notice them because I must unknowingly have the same disease. Now I have to wonder if I have a severe mental disability and have to question why anyone would conspire to hide that knowledge from me.

On the "File:Taybi.jpg" page in Commons, a description (translated from Polish) provides context about the kid in the image, a young Italian girl. The description describes symptoms of premature birth, short height, heart defects, and mental/motor deficiency. Nothing in the description says anything about any part of the face.

Maybe this is something that got lost in translation, but it feels like a deliberate trolling akin to cutting a picture of a symptomatic patient out of a medical textbook and patching the hole with a mirror. Nom de vileplume (talk) 22:23, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Occurrence

The intro gives the incidence at birth as 1 in 125,000-300,000, but the figure at the end of the Genetics section gives the upper range as the bottom of this, 1:100,000-125,000. Which is it? 109.155.98.200 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:30, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
