Quick Wear: True and False Life

Wei Nan really didn't expect that his father-in-law had such good eyesight that he could tell that Bai Xi was a white tiger, while most people thought it was a white cat.

"Yes, father-in-law."

"Bai Xi, let your father-in-law see your true form. He has recognized you anyway."

After hearing what Wei Nan said, Bai Xi let out a long roar and turned into a silver-white tiger more than half a person's height. Under the sunlight, he looked majestic.

"What a beautiful tiger! Where can I find a white tiger like this? I also want to raise one." Such a majestic and beautiful tiger aroused Zhou Yonghong's curiosity.

"Father-in-law, don't think like that. The reason why Baixi is white is because of genetic factors, which caused albinism. He was lost by his parents when he just went out, so we picked him up." Wei Nan was really afraid of his father-in-law because he really liked to go find the way.

"Nannan, what is albinism?" Zhou Yonghong asked with interest after listening.

Seeing that his father-in-law was interested, Wei Nan explained it to him in detail.

Albinism is a congenital single-gene genetic disease caused by gene mutation, which leads to defects in the biosynthesis of melanin or melanosomes, and is mainly manifested as hypopigmentation or loss of pigmentation in the skin, eyes or hair.

Common types are oculocutaneous albinism and ocular albinism.

Albinism is a genetic disease and can be inherited. Marriage is not recommended, and consanguineous marriage will greatly increase the incidence of the disease.

All types of albinism may produce eye symptoms, such as hypopigmentation, nystagmus, photophobia, and decreased vision. People with oculocutaneous albinism lack melanin in their skin and hair, making their skin sensitive to ultraviolet rays, prone to sunburn, and even skin cancer. People with syndromic albinism may have abnormalities in other organs or systems.

She cannot fully recover from albinism through treatment, but can only receive symptomatic treatment to alleviate symptoms and pain.

Baixi is now using cultivation to protect itself from the influence of the external environment. Even so, it is still somewhat afraid of light.

"So the disease can be explained in this way. Nan Nan just mentioned the close relative marriage. Will the consequences be very serious?" At this point he suddenly remembered that his friend's granddaughter was born with many diseases, and his son married his cousin, so he asked about this matter.

"Father-in-law, drink some tea first! Then we can talk slowly." Seeing San'er squatting with Lingxi and Baixi watching the game, Wei Nan poured tea for his father-in-law and let him drink while listening.

"Don't worry about them, talk first!" Zhou Yonghong was more concerned and waved his hand.

"Okay! Then tell your father-in-law, and start with the word close relative."

After Wei Nan finished speaking, he began to explain that the "close relatives" in consanguineous marriage mainly refer to direct blood relatives and collateral blood relatives within three generations.

Marriage between close relatives will greatly increase the chance of recessive genetic diseases. Some data show that the probability of offspring of close relatives marrying with recessive genetic diseases is 150 times that of offspring of non-close relatives marrying.

Common ones include albinism, congenital deafness, cerebellar malformation, phenylketonuria, galactosemia, etc.

It can also increase the incidence of polygenic genetic diseases. The incidence of children of consanguineous marriages is about 1.64%, while the incidence of children of non-consanguineous marriages is only 0.57%. Obviously, consanguineous marriages are much higher than non-consanguineous marriages.

Common ones include hydrocephalus, spina bifida, anencephaly, schizophrenia, congenital heart disease, epilepsy, etc.

The early mortality and deformity rates of the offspring of consanguineous marriages are very high, and most of them are accompanied by various adverse conditions such as physical deterioration, weight loss, and shortened height.

"I wonder how the granddaughter of my father-in-law's friend is doing now?" After saying that, Wei Nan asked about the condition of the patient mentioned by his father-in-law.

"He is weak and sickly. He has to lie in bed eight out of ten days, relying on medicine to keep him alive?" Zhou Yonghong said slowly, thinking of what his old friend said in the letter.

An old friend wrote to me saying that his granddaughter was in poor condition and asked him to introduce a famous doctor. Doctors with a bit of reputation were very arrogant. It was difficult to find a doctor if you went to their homes without an introduction, not to mention that it was difficult to find a doctor if you were not invited.

"Lingxi, you heard what happened just now. How do you think we can effectively treat this situation and maintain our health?" Wei Nan communicated with Lingxi in his sea of consciousness.

"Sister, what do you think?"

"Try using the solid pills first to see if you can improve your health. Then do more exercise. If possible, practice dancing or martial arts."

"I think my sister's idea is feasible. After all, this type of genetic disease cannot be cured in the upper planes, and it is even more difficult now."

"Yes, I saw a travelogue in the palace last time. It recorded the deeds of a great man who went to a high-tech plane. It mentioned the gene-enhancing fluid, which should be very effective. Unfortunately, I can't figure out what it means just by looking at the name."

"Sister, we are thinking too far ahead. Let's just focus on the present."

"Nannan, Nannan..." Zhou Yonghong saw Wei Nan become dazed while talking, so he raised his voice and shouted.

"Father-in-law, go on." Wei Nan came back to his senses and said.

"Nannan, do you have any effective way to treat people who are weak and sickly?" Zhou Yonghong asked again.

"Father-in-law, let me think about it. Let's clean up first and then talk about it once we have a direction." Wei Nan said, pointing at the prey on the ground.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhou Yonghong looked at the prey on the ground in the direction she pointed, then responded.

He thought that he was too impatient. He didn't even tell the patient's condition but was eager to verify the treatment results. This was not good.

He should have considered the prey issue first, but he saw his son, Lingxi and Baixi squatting beside the prey, poking and scratching them, having a lot of fun. It seemed that they had a common hobby - gluttony.

"San'er, do you want to eat chicken?" Wei Nan saw him staring at the pheasant and pushed him and asked.

"No...no, it's flowery."

"You mean you like the color of chicken feathers?" Wei Nan asked based on his own speculation.

"Hmm," San'er said after a moment of silence.

"So do you like this?" Wei Nan knew that many people with autism liked flowing light, colorful lines, beautiful sounds, etc. Seeing San'er looking at the chicken feathers, he took out a painting and tried to ask.

"Yeah! I like it." San'er's eyes light up when he sees something he likes.

Wei Nan sighed, it turns out San'er is so sensitive to colors!

"If you like, San'er, I'll teach you how to draw, okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." San'er agreed as soon as he heard it.

Wei Nan thought that she had found another thing that San'er was interested in, which would also increase his contact with the surrounding environment and be beneficial to his treatment.

At this time, Zhou Yonghong just came out of the kitchen with a bowl and a knife, and saw his son and daughter-in-law chatting well and looking very happy.

"Father-in-law, it turns out that San'er likes colorful things, such as paintings." Wei Nan saw Zhou Yonghong coming out and hurriedly shared with him.

"Really? No wonder San'er used to like colorful things."

"Oh! I'm too slow. I won't think about it anymore. I'll go buy paper and pen tomorrow." Zhou Yonghong said excitedly.

"No need, I have it, I'll take San'er to get it."
