This reminds me of an article I read recenlty about a school-aged
child who was far stronger than the rest of the students in his age
group, had greater endurance, and less body-fat. Almost kind of a
"Super-Boy". Apart from his physical advantages, he was no different
mentally or socially for the other kids. He looked and acted like
any other child on the playgroud (albiet a really fit child).

After extensive medical investigation, they found that he had a
genetic mutation (which I think had something to do with protiens).
Most of us have a control mechanism in the body which regulates muscle
growth - a switch that says 'OK, that's enough muscle growth for now'.
This child was either missing that control, or it functioned
differently for him.

His uncle, who worked in construction, was known to be able to hoist
huge, heavy slabs of concrete and perform other amazing strengh tasks.

The researches speculated that this mutation might not be that rare,
but rather more common (found in something like 2-4% of the
population?) and largely goes undetected since it requires some very
elaborate tests to determine, and there are no know ill effect or
symptoms of this mutation.

I wonder if this new research is related? Unfortunately, I can't
remember the medical publication that the article appeared in, or the
doctors involved. The child's identity was kept anonymous.


If you do find something, post it, it is very interesting.
