[extropy-chat] Myostatin effecting humans same as animals (AP News, via MSN, 5 year old boy)

This is a link to an msn story taken from AP about a German boy who has  
developed twice the muscle mass for his age and half the body fat of  
his peers.

Apparently the first documented case of Myostatin having an equal  
effect on humans as it does on animals, I personally wonder what else  
it may effect developmentally given the important role fat plays in  
early brain and NS development.

Anyone with fresh dietary/capita data for Germany out there? Other  
causal information/features?

The child is being dubbed a "super-baby" and "muscle man" toddler by  
the press.


To better serve your meme-palette, here is a savory buffet of the  
article data:

-1&q=myostatin

My guess is this will be the parity of other neurological trends such  
as Multiple Sclerosis, Migraines and other issues that are our current  
evolutionary snapshots.
