Mutation found in 'muscle man' toddler

[Jeffro]

A seven-month old baby with a genetic mutation that boosts muscle growth is seen in an undated black and white image released by the New England Journal of Medicine (news - web sites) on Wednesday June 23, 2004. The discovery, reported in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine, represents the first documented human case of such a mutation. The boy's mutant DNA segment was found to block production of a protein called myostatin that limits muscle growth.



Holy cow!

i wish i had that kind of a mutation

I just saw this on Drudge site; pretty wild. Imagine if scientists can find a way to interrupt this myostatin flow in everyone. Maybe I could run for Governor of California.

Oh the Germans would like us to believe this is a random mutation, but I know better. They're creating a race of supermen. Get ready boys... its time to lock and load!

To much muscle is bad though. You would become so heavy and bulky you couldn't move. :\

That kid could kick my ass.

sigh... Little bastid can probably bench my scrawny ass...

Your skin can only stretch so much before it tears. It's not like muscle, which tears to grow and get bigger.

Nobody wants a skinless muscle-bound person roaming the streets.

I mean, who'd clean up the mess?
