Thanks for the info and willingness to share info on your conditions and giving potential info for @pettis
I will share a little. Both of my grandsons were born with hydrocephalus They were able to shunt both of them in their first week of life. One is 5 and is thriving. The other is 3 months and doing well.

I am intrigued by the gene you mentioned for the hydrocephalus. Is that an Autosomal recessive type of gene?

Peace
Larry H

@larryh123 Hi, @larryh Thanks for your query. As a quick answer, http://www.omim.org/entry/hydrocephalus should give you a lot of 'stuff' on the 500+ genes OMIM lists for involvement in hydrocephalus. Some are recessive, most are dominant. This source is free, and targeted toward professionals, but I am on it almost every day. Another great source is Jackson Lab's human phenotype O (I cannot right now remember the word for O) http://hpo.jax.org for hydrocephalus. Jackson is quite proud of their work in this, and rightfully so. These two will lead you toward legitimate info on almost any gene. More later. oldkarl

I do not have a gene for hydrocephalus. My genetic test results are normal.
