Hello,
Does anybody have an email address for Dr Charles I. Scott Jr. MD of the Division of Genetics, Department of Pediatrics at the Dupont Childrens Hospital, Wilmington?
I have found the website with information for him, but only phone and fax numbers. I'm in the UK and wanted to send an email, rather than a lengthy, expensive phone call.
This is all regarding the fact i've been told recently that he has done some genetic study with findings that on the maternal side on the X chromisone the condition seemed to have been passed on.
Does anybody else know of his research, or have had contact with him?
Best regards,
Dave Bailey

Hi Leatta,
Yes i could send a letter. I was hoping I could find some mention of his research online, but i haven't found anything.
I think maybe it isn't a widely accepted view or more people on here would have heard of it, i.e. that PFFD has a genetic link. Everything I've ever been told, or read says NO it isn't.

I've only found information on PFFD having one genetic component and it is rare. Apparently some diabetic mothers have a mutation which can be passed on and found it their children with PFFD, but not in others in the world with PFFD. Research is now underway to try to get a comparison sampling of kids especially siblings and offspring without PFFD. So far research shows the marker is unique and seems to be only true of once certain type I diabetic condition.
