TIL: Today I Learned

[GoodSarmatian]

You're actually Jewish...

Unlikely.

and you have been circumcised?

I don't think so.
*checks to be sure*
Nope.
Anyway, circumcision is a Muslim and not a Jewish thing where my parents are from.

As I said, my condition is genetic...

 

[Takhisis]

It's OK. Jewishness comes from mitochondrial DNA which is inherited from one's mother.

Anyway, let's keep guessing… Not Jewish, not adopted, inheritable genetically, and it qualifies as a ‘problem’.
Some sort of intolerance to a type of food or nutrient?

No

To elaborate:
Nothing to do with nutrition.

Nothing royal...
I'll repeat the hint:
Chromsomes !

 

[Takhisis]

You're not a hermaphrodite, are you?

 

[Synobun]

Nothing royal...
I'll repeat the hint:
Chromsomes !

You... christ... I can't... you have an extra one of those?

 

[GoodSarmatian]

You're not a hermaphrodite, are you?

No.

You... christ... I can't... you have an extra one of those?

Maybe...
And if I do it's not in every cell...

 

[Takhisis]

Well, XXY would've resulted in being a hermaphrodite.

But not in every cell…

Some sort of blood cell condition, maybe.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

...close...


It's not totally obvious if you don't know exactly what you're looking for, but it's pretty obvious in hindsight...and "relatively benign"...

 

[Birdjaguar]

XYY chroms.

XYY chromosome
XYY syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs when a male has an extra copy of the Y chromosome in each of their cells (XYY). Sometimes, this mutation is only present in some cells. Males with XYY syndrome have 47 chromosomes because of the extra Y chromosome.

Are you tall, with learning issues?

 

[Timsup2nothin]

XYY chroms.


Are you tall, with learning issues?

Or learning, with tall issues?

 

[GoodSarmatian]

I am tall.

...so close, yet so far...

 

[Arakhor]

Something like sickle-cell anaemia, perhaps?

 

[Traitorfish]

Third arm that you just never noticed before.

 

[Snerk]

You're really into anime?

 

[Broken_Erika]

Third Buttocks?
