#genetic defect

[adhd-chaos-queen]

You know what sucks about having a rare ilness/genetic condition?

(aside from the obvious of course)

But...

Doctors visits..

You go to a regular doctor, and you're the first person with that condition they've ever seen.

Sure, they've heard about it, but it was only a side note during their medical studies...

And then you go to a specialist and you're just "one of many"

Last time the specialist said my case was "not that bad" and basically implied that I had no real reason to be there.

That really sucked.

Yes, It could be worse, but I still have my struggles, and I just want to talk about it.

To be understood.

I have never met another person with that condition.

Makes me feel like an alien.

Too much for a regular doctor.

Not enough for the specialist.

I hate it

Birth defects affect about 3% of babies born in the United States each year. The work, published in the journal Science Advances, identified crucial genetic interactions during the earliest stages of embryonic development that predicted birth defects characteristic of Cornelia de Lange syndrome and may offer clues about the genetic origins of many types of birth defects. Cornelia de Lange Syndrome is a genetic condition that affects many parts of the body, characterized by distinctive facial features, growth delay, intellectual disability, and limb abnormalities. The syndrome is caused by mutations in genes involved in the regulation of gene expression and development.

Got assigned the rats at work, hopefully there'a no dead (cannibalized) litters or small naked men running around like the mice rooms today bc I'm SLEEPY

#small naked man was a mouse btw #theres a genetic defect in some of the litters rn where theyre only furred on their heads legs and base of their tail #as for the dead litters there were 3 this week 1 malformed the other 2 cannibalized and while it doesnt bother me #protocal is to collect the corpses in a glove and turn it inside-out and i hate putting on new gloves

#week 2! during week 3 but ignore that #week 3 will probably be more low effort but whatever #im testing new harpy designs #we got my boy oliver (western sandpiper) and his friend james (monk vulture) #still placeholder names cuz idk what the naming conventions of this universe are yet 😭 we're getting there #oliver had to bring him soup in a crockpot cuz his family doesn't own vulture-sized bowls #i love vulture wings they dont fold very neatly down onto the bird's back because of how huge they are so most vultures look like a mess #all my rat #original character #oliver has some yet-unnamed genetic defect that makes his feathers curly #because i was absolutely determined to keep his original hairstyle #kinda makes him look like a sheep imo

you know how fancy pigeons are yeah? Why haven't we bred one to be insanely iridescent yet.

seriously the basic rock dove morph has a lovely iridescent patch on the neck, we've turned the little guys into faux peacocks and deformed freaks and birds that can't fly because they only backflip. why haven't we turned these little fuckers into tiny disco balls yet

#birds #pigeon #is it too difficult? is the structural color too hard to achieve on a bigger scale? #do the birds get weird genetic defects and die? would it be too inhumane? #why don't we have shinier fancy pigeon breeds

Delta Intro Fic™ 👀

[ prompt ]

I'm not including a snippet just because I started this 8000 years ago and really need to start working on it again(seriously- this is so old that Reed's dog is still being called Dogmeat here). I need to actually sit down and rewrite it so I can actually say it's finished. Here's a little synopsis though:

This is part of Reed's 'canon' storyline, taking place after this fic: he's been in the wasteland for a few months now and he's starting to venture out more on his own without BoS supervision. He's been to Diamond City & Goodneighbor, he's met Nick and he has a pretty good idea what a synth is at this point, he keeps hearing rumors about the Railroad and is starting to get interested in finding them, & he's starting to emotionally heal from the whole "everything he's ever cared about has been completely obliterated in a nuclear apocalypse and he's never going to get closure on what happened to his partner/friends/family/etc" thing. He's doing pretty well all things considered.

Until he runs into Delta in the market at Bunker Hill and it's this huge ordeal, because from one side they look identical to his (presumably) dead pre-war partner Mercy. He's obviously really freaked out and he freaks Delta out in the process because they have no idea what's going on. This may or may not happen more than once because they continue to run into each other at different locations. This fic's supposed to lead into a handful of subplots involving the Automatron + Far Harbor DLCs, Reed starts uncovering some really fun things about Mercy's prewar activities that he wasn't aware of, and ultimately it leads into the main plot that pushes Reed towards the Institute.

#thank you!💖 #ask games #reed tag #delta tag #long story short there's cryogenically frozen DNA samples stored in one of the labs in Cambridge #unsurprisingly the Institute finds them during gen 3 synth development and attempts to use them #however the samples all have rad damage/FEV exposure//etc etc- they're from adult researchers what do you expect? #something about faulty genetics -> defective early gen3 synths -> Broken Mask incident -> decommissioned synths #Reed eventually gets his shit together and actually *talks* to Delta instead of just panicking and leaving #realizes that they can help his best friend Ada get revenge. and also maybe help him install the transmitter or whatever it is #this mess somehow ropes them into some far harbor shit too. gotta take a detour up there before looking for kellogg #it's like this huge thing ok. please know i look like iasip charlie in the pepe silvia skit with the whiteboard trying to explain this

The idea of a punk band made up of clone deserters has been rolling around in my head lately. A group of particularly rebellious clones find each other and go AWOL but start a band and put out just the angstiest, punkest music from the lower levels of Coruscant

And the GAR can't get enough

Clones blast it while they're on night watch or in the gym and the higher-ups have no idea. It's fun to keep the secret and their superiors don't care enough to listen and realise that all the lyrics are thinly-veiled jabs at them, anthems about being forced into existence for someone else, being controlled by The Man and uniting to rise up against The Machine

The 501st are shocked and delighted when Anakin puts their music on one night, but nobody wants to bring it up because does he understand what this song is about????? Does he know who this band is????

And I can't decide if it's funnier for Anakin to be fully aware of what he's listening to or for him to be a complete and total poser who only listens because he thinks it makes him look cool to the clones

#sw tcw #star wars: the clone wars #501st shenanigans #submit your clone punk band names here #so far im thinking either The Genetic Defects or The Broken Cogs

Reworking an old old non-human OC I have. Used to be a soft bishounen boy in a harem who finds solace in his musical talent, now he's a grungy, scar-riddled scavenger living in a war torn wasteland who makes a living selling scrap and his musical talent. And he has a dedicated robot boyfriend who lives at an abandoned monastery/waystation for weary travelers.

I like this idea better.

#jacq writes #the oc is an interesting species ive been trying to rework from 'human one step to the left' to something a little more creature #technically hes a hybrid between two different species which is why he has to live in such a desolate place #he also only has one hand and due to some genetic defects from his hybrid nature #it renders him unable to communicate emotions and expressions properly #robot partner is hilariously the only thing that seems to understand him the best #anyways

i have questions: 

why was Lincoln left alive? 

what did Carrie tear out of Bruce's journal that he didn't want Turner to know? 

what's with the musical phonecall for (fugue?)Harvey? 

is Duela's mom alive? is fugue!Harvey her real dad? 

will we meet Harper and Cullen's mom? (wait- is she dead?) 

why did Cressida burn Bruce's will? (was that resolved?) 

why owl masks? 

what is this reanimating super serum made of? 

how will they combat the super serum? 

is Bruce really dead or is it a long con? 

who will be responsible for Harvey's Twoface-triggering attack? 

will we see fugue!Harvey before the attack? 

will we get Bruce flashbacks? (*cough*jensen?!*cough*season2*)

will the court of owls be disbanded by the end of season 1? 

all of these questions will be answered (or left hanging) in coming eps I'm sure but speculating is half the fun! 

#gotham knights #gk spoilers #thoughts #i have theories for some but not others.. maybe Turner's parents were killed by the court? maybe Batman failed to save them? #or maybe Turner is somehow key to unlocking the reanimating super serum? genetics? maybe Turner's parents #were part of the court of owls?! maybe they defected. maybe the court doesn't even know who Turner really is (yet) #I love speculating wildly 😅

mad that at work this hazard is alluded to in training videos but its one of the only things we dont actually have warning labels for anywhere

#love this thing. i doodle it all the time #its for ''may cause genetic defects / carcinogens''

Finally watched the first episode of Wednesday and lemme tell ya: Wednesday Addams, and probably her roommate, is the only charachter that may be "a little shit" but they have a reason behind it. Unlike everyone else who has a fucking SOYUZ up their ass

#wednesday addams #netflix series #like fr its two girls and they are the only ones with An Actual Brain #the dark one has an excuse and the colorful one technically has a genetic defect

[lilnasxvevo]

Btw my probably unpopular opinion is that CQL JGY DID NOT kill Jin Rusong because he admitted to every other terrible crime he committed including killing his own father and killing his sworn brother so why wouldn’t he admit to killing his own son???

He doesn’t say to Qin Su that he killed Rusong, only something along the lines of “He would have had to die anyway,” and he doesn’t say anything to Lan Xichen about killing Rusong

MOREOVER, if there was any evidence that he was behind Rusong’s death, don’t you think Nie Huaisang would have found it and dragged it into the light? Do you really think Huaisang would have flinched away from going that far after everything else he did to expose JGY’s crimes? Do you think Huaisang, who had ten YEARS to plan everything, just went “Nah, I have enough evidence” and didn’t BOTHER to look into Rusong’s death???

No. The only explanation is that Nie Huaisang looked, and found nothing. And judging from the rest of Huaisang’s stellar detective work, that’s because there wasn’t anything to find.

Is that because Jin Guangyao covered up all the evidence? I don’t think so.

However. I also think that the reason he didn’t lean too hard into “Of course I didn’t kill my son!” as a way to defend himself was that he was, as he alluded to during his showdown with Qin Su, somewhere around 50% committed to killing Rusong at some point—his enemies just got there first.

I think he was keeping a close eye on Rusong’s development and I think that if Rusong showed any sign of physical or intellectual disability that Jin Guangyao was going to get rid of him as quickly as possible.

As a side note, I will remind everyone that Jin Guangyao’s motive for wanting to get rid of Rusong was not “to cover up the incest”—he was quite confident he could keep that covered up indefinitely, as anyone who knew the truth knew that it would be basically suicide to go public with what they knew. Bicao only agrees to go public when she has secured the protection of two—TWO!!!—different leaders of two different Great Sects. That’s how dangerous she knows this secret is.

Instead, Jin Guangyao’s reason for wanting to kill Rusong to hide any disability or deformity he might have was that it would encourage people to say that Jin Guangyao had dirty/tainted/inferior blood and that’s why his son was inferior. This doesn’t really…make sense to the modern person, but it isn’t a crazy prediction for JGY to make, that people would say such things. It WOULD be kind of nuts to say “oh if Rusong is disabled then people will suspect his parents are half-siblings,” because there are about a billion more likely reasons why someone would have a genetic/congenital problem than incest, so it’s really unlikely that the rumor mill would ever think of that or that such a rumor would gain any ground.

#ANYWAY. #incest cw #idk ask to tag #ALSO BC I DONT WANT TO SPREAD MISINFO: #incest doesn’t work that way. first-gen inbreeding between half-siblings is really unlikely to result in genetic defects #source: dog breeding and horse breeding and a bunch of other things #such as the sordid history of royals marrying their own family members #like you know that poor inbred Spanish king tumblr likes to make fun of even though that’s mean? #that guy was the results of H U N D R E D S of years of the same small royal family inbreeding like crazy #it takes SEVERAL generations for things to get that bad #I’m not saying ‘so reproduce with your family members it’s probably fine!’ like. don’t do that. but I’m just saying.

I'm curious what everybody thinks about the idea of gene editing for humans. The ethics of designer babies have been discussed for decades, and I want to know everybody's opinions on it.

#genetic engineering #crispr #Science #Note this isn't for any study or whatever just my pure curiosity #I'm also purposefully not giving major vs minor defects examples because I know in general that can be open to interpretation #And of course obligatory not how all this works

[intersex-char-otd]

U want me so bad it makes u look stupid 😘 What brought you here btw? R u sad and insecure that being intersex is so common and natural any character could have it in a huge spectrum of ways including your big buff manly man zombie killer? U poor thang. Get better soon.

#lol #obvs this person doesnt know what being itnersex even is becuz it ranges widely from physical to genetic differences n isnt a birth defect #not a defect at all #which is why im blocking them and not humoring them or explaining it lol #but i had to laugh at them #i hope they know how likely statistically that theyve unknowingly been with an intersex person xD #die soon loser #💛
