    I have Congenital Hip Dysplasia, I used be able to swivel my hips like would make Elvis jealous, the splits like Van Damne, but my real party piece was jamming on my foot so hard I could send the hip bone up to my ribs.

    Now I can't even tie my own shoe laces ever since I got steel pins in to lock it down, and this is what the doc considers "great mobility"...

    I also carry the Cystic Fibrosis gene but my wife doesn't, instead she has Scheuermann's disease.

    Seems to be not so rare that there isn't lots of research done into it.

    Yeah, RADs are not that rare apparently so I don't know why they are still called that. Maybe the lack of research means that they are under diagnosed and as such are labelled rare. I read somewhere that the kind I have is thought to affect 12 million women around the world.

    The best mutation I've seen is in my ex's family. Both herself and her father have 3 kidneys, two perfectly working ones and one redundant one just sitting there not connected up.

    Whoa. That's life having a made to order spare. Super cool.

    I have this as well. I have light blue eyes with an orange/gold band around the centre. My friend says my eyes look like sunflowers.

    I first read that as cauliflowers :)

    Yep, its a freak mutation and quite rare, doctors told her it looks perfectly healthy and could be used if needed. Its the type of thing that you hope gets passed on :)

    Imagine the increased alcohol processing ability if they hooked the third fella up. :)

    Would your hip have gotten worse if it was not touched by doctors?
    ****, I never heard of Scheuermann's before, it looks like kyphoisis x 10
    Did your wife get a spinal fusion surgery to straighten out?

    I have central heterochromia. It is an eye condition where there are two colours in the same iris. The main part of my iris is blue, but I've a gold ring around my pupil.
    My boyfriend has this! It's awesome looking!

    I have the pleasure of living with Hughes Syndrome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiphospholipid_syndrome

    Even my blood hates me ;)

    My girlfriend and her Dad have the opposite, born with only one Kidney. Give me your ex's family address :D

    Oh hell yeah, by the time it was detected (basically they test for a "click hip" in babies, they missed mine, until I was 20), I'd already developed arthritis in my hip and knees, and they didn't want to do full hip replacement so they did a ganz osteotomy, but 15 years later I'm still having to get around on a crutch most of the time, which I hate, and I hate the pain meds because they put me in la-la land, so I've just become accustomed to blocking the pain mentally.

    She's waiting to see how I get on with the hip replacement, but I know a girl that had it done down in Cork and she's doing great now! My wife can be laid up for days at a time with it though, but she's nervous about getting the surgery done because of the risks involved.

    I'm ambidextrious...only due to breaking my arm so many times as a kid.

    I liked to climb things as a kid, my real talent was falling out/off of things :D

    Mutants that come to mind; e.g. - X-men.

    Mutants in reality; Gingers!

    Having looked into it, the RADs itself is rare, but that it helps to explains the way people gain or lose fat tissue, with a number of the studies having both people with and without the RADs in the study.
