Duchene Muscular Dystrophy-Response
After reading cookiemonster1696's blog I was upset about how there is no cure for the Sickle Cell Anemia disease. Males and Females can be infected with this disease and they can live from 42-48 years of age, this disease can affect the world population with 1 in 5,000. The symptoms of this disease consist of high fever, chest pain, difficult breathing and pulmonary infiltrate. This disease is more common in Africa 1 in 500 Blacks are infected. i think this disease needs to be studied more to find a cure it's horrible how they are left to suffer like that it's not right.http://cookiemonster1696.blogspot.com/

Turners Syndrome
1 out of every 2,500 girls are infected with Turners Syndrome. In 1938, Dr. Henry Turner discovered this horrible disease. The patient's symptoms may include having a "webbed"neck, a low hair line, drooping eyelids, freak ears, abnormal bone development, crazy amount of moles, extra fluid or edema in hands and feet, academic disabilities and their short. The treatments for this disease are human growth hormone and estrogen. The life span for girls with this disease is the same as the average woman. I think Turners Syndrome is a horrible disease, it ruins the lives of young innocent girls, scientists around the world should do whatever they can to find a cure.
