This leads to a large variety of well-known effects on individuals with the disease, and as it is genetic in origin, we have no current method of treatment or cure (beyond antibiotics to improve immunoresponse and superdoses of amino acids).
i'm surprised you didn't know this, and write us a 3000 word primary-source guide to the differences between those with three copies of c.21 and those without. As such, I filled in for you, because I don't care what anyone thinks - I love those goofy bastards [/matt dylan]
