A Very Muscular Baby Offers Hope Against Diseases
by k at 11:09 am EDT, Jun 24, 2004

] The baby, it turned out in the first such documented case
] in a human, had a double dose of a genetic mutation that
] causes immense strength in mice and cattle. Drugs are
] under development that, investigators hope, will use the
] same principle to help people whose muscles are wasting
] from muscular dystrophy or other illnesses. Experts say
] the little boy, now 4½ and still very strong, offers
] human evidence for the theory behind such drugs.
