Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Genetic Syndrome Lineage - Genetic Disorder Awareness Genetic disorders affect many people. Every day, clinical geneticists work on these disorders. Every day, researchers try to find new cures for these disesases. Just how prevalent are they? Robert Brent, "Estimated Incidences of Genetic Disorders Recessive (0.1%), AD and X-linked (1%), Irregularly inherited (9%), Chromosomal aberrations (0.6%)" -- from the Advisory committee on the Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation. The Effects on Populations of Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation. Washington DC, NR Council, NAS, National Academy Press, 1980 With this in mind, and my personal life with Usher Syndrome, I decided to create this project. Huntington's chorea... Sickle-cell anemia... Thalassemia... Cystic fibrosis... these are just four of thousands of recognized genetic disorders. Some, like these four, are serious. Others are not as serious. But all pose a challenge to those with them. The Breast Cancer Hope Lineage (https://forums.dragcave.net) and the Anxiety Warriors Lineage (https://forums.dragcave.net/index.php?showtopic=174648) were the inspirations that allowed me to create this - please go check them out! For more information on various genetic disorders, go to these two links: NIH About Genetic Disorders and National Library of Medicine List of Some Genetic Disorders Black dragons, White dragons, and Candlebra dragons play a role in this lineage. The meanings are below: -Blacks symbolize the darkness of ignorance of genetic disorders. -Whites symbolize healing of genetic disorders. -Candlebras symbolize bringing genetic disorders into light and the light of truth. Are you ready to help spread awareness of these disorders? Rules: Anyone can join in if you follow these rules! Genetic disorder or not, please help spread awareness about genetic disorders. Do not kill, freeze, bite, neglect, zombify, trade, regift, or abandon an egg you receive from requesting through this lineage. Do not bite, kill, zombify, neglect, or freeze ANY egg of this lineage. If you use an egg from this lineage as trade fodder or a gift, make sure to point the recipent here and they follow the lineage rules. I won't penalize you for having any dead eggs when you sign up. Just tell me how they died, please. You do not need any adult dragons to join this lineage - I am happy to let eggs from this lineage become one of your first, and you can PM me if you are a new player who joined and wants some dragon raising tips. APing eggs from this lineage is allowed! Name dragons from this lineage! Make sure DNA, Genetic, Gene, Syndrome, or at least one word relating to genetic/epigenetic disorders or genes/genomes/epigenomes DNA is in the name. Naming a dragon after an actual genetic disorder is encouraged! Dragons without a Black, White, or Candlebra dragon in heritage cannot be named for the project - even if they are a mate for your project dragon, unless the mate is part of a CB pair. Your egg must have a Black, White, or Candlebra dragon as a CB dragon in the heritage to be part of this lineage. You are allowed to mate it with ANYTHING compatible of your choosing, from a CB Gold to a Grey x Blusang checker - just try to keep lineages in a stair, a spiral, or evengen. You may create and submit your own CB breeding pairs or submit a pair that you bred from/obtained one dragon of from the lineage. A CB pair MUST have a Black, White or Candlebra Dragon in it! Name both dragons of a CB pair with the project naming rule. Feel free to keep, gift, or free-for-all your eggs, even on another thread. Feel free to join in as a breeder! Please don't inbreed. Inbreeding is ONLY allowed if you were UNKNOWINGLY breeding your dragon with an inbred mate! Please be polite. It's just common decency! Eggs are given in order of request. Please, please make sure your scroll is visible. Alt lineage dragons may not be used in a submitted pair nor gifted by anyone but the project leader (Dusky_Flareon)! ------ Officially Created Lines: Original: Out of Genetic Dark x And To Genetic Light Alt (only avaible on birthdays or as a reward or promotion): Silent Snow x Eternal Genetic Memory. Note that Silent Snow is the only CB dragon entered into this lineage to not follow lineage naming rules, but her description will relate to her name and healing. Request-An-Egg!

Posted June 16, 2016 Exciting. So are you hoping for this to work like the AW lineage? (except for the dragon requirements) I know there is one main AW pair, but all the members can also start their own projects. I'm excited to see where this will go. I would love to join, but I'm a bit swamped with lineage projects at the moment. I will definitely want to be involved though Share this post Link to post
Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Yeah, it is like AW - that was the inspiration. You can submit your own pairs, too. There just has to be certain CB breed(s) in the lineage for symbolic reasons. (Plus I thought that would be cool.) Edited June 17, 2016 by Dusky_Flareon Share this post Link to post
Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) I did like the way you chose the dragons and the symbolism that you had behind them. I'm thinking of doing a black x white even lineage. So exciting. Edited June 16, 2016 by gigglymonkey12 Share this post Link to post
Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Oh, thank you! And Black x White has always been one of my dream lineages - though I definitely like Black x Candlebra. The alt lineage was created because I figured people would like something special for their birthdays or as a reward for contributing - and because Silent Snow's pending description is about healing the sick - including genetic ailments, representing what medicine hopes to someday do.

Posted June 17, 2016 Aw, heck. What's one more? I want to breed Genetic Awareness dragons! Username: Faerie_fyre PM: Message me! Pair: Researcher Bastian Maxam-Gilbert x Hereditary Thalessemia Manon (Example) Type of Lineage: Second Gen Special rules: Would be nice to follow the naming scheme – black ‘Researchers’ and Candelabra bringing disorders to light, but not required. Bastian is a German derivative of the name ‘Sebastian’, which traces its etymology back to ‘venerable’, meaning ‘deserving of great respect’. Maxam-Gilbert is a chemical method of DNA sequencing, by which we can study disorders. In this way, we are able to know both how they come about and how they can be treated. Thalessemia is a family of heritable hemoglobin disorders. Manon is a derivative of the name ‘Marie’, and tracing that back a few steps through French we get ‘negation of being bitter’. By giving this name to a Candelabra dragon, I intent to shed light on blood diseases, while simultaneously bringing hope into the picture. Share this post Link to post

Also, excellent reasoning and connecting for your two names. I particularly like the reference to DNA sequencing and the tracing of Manon/Marie's meaning.

Username: http://dragcave.net/user/James1011 PM: (My PM link) Pair: Genetic Disorder x Normal Gene Type of Lineage: 2G offspring Special rules: Feel free to name these dragons whatever you wish (although I'd advise against naming a dragon from this pair after a chromosomal disorder). Don't make an inbred dragon with this pair in the lineage, for the love of god (and yes, this applies to eggs with this pair in lineage outside of the lineage project!). Genetic Disorder is a name snipe, the reason why it's a Black is because genetic disorders are not that common (and some even go undiagnosed!), and to provide a contrast for its white mate. Normal Gene is the white dragon of the pair, a normal gene is one that does not cause genetic disorders (or cancer, for that matter, but that's outside the scope of this project).
