I have no idea what on earth you are trying to say to me.

I'm a former homemaker whose interest in understanding genetic stuff in layman's terms is rooted in having a deadly genetic disorder.

I know lots of useful health info and I had a class in medical terminology as part of a certificate program while doing a corporate job that involved reading medical records all day, but I sometimes have significant trouble following scientific discussions and I am deeply grateful for the many people on HN who have kindly and respectfully explained things to me in layman's terms because it has literally helped to save my life.
