Our baby boy is immune to pain, how incredible is that!
It truly is incredible.
The specific gene mutation, although the doctors where not able to pinpoint in such a short amount of time, was most likely a nonsense mutation.
A nonsense mutation is when there is a stop codon that causes the rest of the gene to not be transcribed into mRNA.
Anthonys parents, although surprised with this discovery, where very happy. It was very comforting to a parent to know that their child wont be able to feel pain.
