Hi Jonathan,

If you want more contact with parents of children with Sotos Syndrome there is another yahoo group that is very active.  I think some of them would like to hear what you have to say later on after reading the article you mentioned.  The group email address is Sotosyndrome@yahoogroups.com.  You would have to join this group to post here though.

Take care,

Pam

(Mom to Kevin age 5 ½ Sotos-like)

Hi, Everyone,

My first name is Jonathon. I'm currently an undergraduate student in
Genetics and Molecular Biology.  I'm joining this group because I want
to help out with understanding the mysteries that underlie the
Overgrowth Syndrome. I have a burning desire to cure genetic disorders.
I will read the journal article in Nature Genetics that shows evidence
of a gene (NSD-Nuclear SET Domain 1) that has been shown to be
associated with Sotos Syndrome. I will make comments about this article
in a later posting.
