After one sentence of this post you confirmed you didn't understand what you read.  If you had understood what I wrote you would know perfectly well why I mentioned cystic fibrosis.

What is the name of the web site you used as a reference?  "Genetics Home Reference" followed by "Your guide to understanding genetic conditions."

So, Mike, why do you think I brought up a genetic condition while I was discussing genetic conditions?  Because it is a genetic condition and that website discusses genetic conditions.  Both, cystic fibrosis and multifactorial disorders genetic conditions are inherited genetic conditions.  I get the impression you don't believe multifactorial disorders are genetic conditions because they are multifactorial.  It seems you have also assumed homosexuality is a multifactorial disorder, but I'm unaware of any evidence which supports that assumption.  It's ironic you claim homosexuality isn't genetic because you assume it is a multifactorial disorder which are genetic disorders.

Autism is a multifactorial genetic disorder.  Can you diagnose a newborn with autism?  No.  Because of the diagnostic criteria needed, it is impossible to diagnose a newborn with autism.  So how can you claim a newborn doesn't have autism when it is impossible to say that they do have autism at that age?  You can't.

You were the one that brought up CF (post #372), after I stated that I'm talking only about Multifactorial diseases (post #367). So I figured you seemed to think that CF was a MF disease, since I had already cleared up that I was only referring to MF diseases and then you continue to go on and on about it, when it has no bearing on how MF diseases work.

Now in the event that you were trying to educate me about how monogenetic diseases work, then it's ok cause I already understand that, and didn't post a link about it or talk about it because it's not what we've been talking about in the thread up to that point. Which is why I quickly clarified in post #367 so that the confusion would be minimal.

Knock it off, your websites contained/verified the same damn information that was in my link. I chose that particular one because it was simpler and shorter for people to understand than trying to get them into reading a long boring one.

Again, bringing up CF just confuses the issue of talking about MF diseases. Yes, CF is an inherited genetic disorder, but it doesn't work in the same was as MF diseases do. I know you understand that and how they are different, so no need to go further.

If homosexuality is genetic as many claim, then it only fits into the MF category. Which is my point, that you are not born gay and that some environmental/behavior trigger happens to activate the genes involved as you age. Then again, many disorders can be treated by restoring a semblance of a chemical balance with in the body.

IE Depression, it can be controlled thru various means via medicine and/or psychotherapy. It will always be there in the back of your mind, but you have to learn to over come it.
