message: My family are carriers of this condition and I lost a brother to this condition at the age of 35 due to essential hypertension related to this condition.  If anyone knows any more information about the condition and its effects, please email, as I would like to start a family some day and am concerned about the risks.   [REMOVED]  thank you
:I would recommend seeing a genetic counselor where your brother was diagnosed. They would be best able to confirm the type of brachydactyly (as there are many varieties) and explain whether his death was (a) indirectly related to the brachydactyly and (b) how to minimize your risks. Most deaths or complications of hypertension occur after it has been present for many years and the risk can usually be reduced with treatment. My suspicion is that you will be reassured by the actual answers but asking people on websites will get no closer to real answers than this. Good luck. alteripse 23:39, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

message: How rude and disrespectful is that? Who said that Megan is the poster child for brachydactyly? Just because she's the most famous person at the moment to have the condition doesn't mean that she should be the star of an article that is NOT about her. She's not the first person to have it, nor is she famous JUST for having it, so why references to Megan Fox? It's not something she even discusses heavily with the press. It's about as relevant as her having brown hair. So what? Would it be fair to put Freddie Mercury in the See Also section of the AIDS article? Or Stevie Wonder in the article on blindness? Or Jay Leno in the dyslexia article? It's no secret that all those people suffered from the conditions/diseases I just mentioned, but they certainly aren't the only ones, nor is it what they are primarily famous for. Therefore, they're not the poster children and they shouldn't be the highlight in an article about a medical condition. 24.189.90.68 (talk) 07:35, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: All I'm saying is we shud try to do things to make this article more popular, and b/c Megan Fox is currently considered the sexiest woman on the planet (except for her thumbs, which are all fucked up), we should add her picture to the article so that more people will read the article and then they will be educated in the field of brachydactyly, and they will learn how to avoid catching brachydactyly because an ounce of preention is worth over $100 dollars, and Wikipedia will become a better place as a result.  but i will not add her picture to the article without first seeking consensus, but i will try forum shopping if that doesn't work.  pls email me with any questions, because i don't log onto wikipedia, except to read about articles, thx.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (talk) 16:57, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
