Expanding

I've added a couple of things I found of web sources. I will work on this further in days to come, and probably find more information from better sources. So far I've just added what simple content I could find. Anannya.authorshipclass (talk) 19:48, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How

how does someone inherit amelia? Is it dominant or recessive?

Amelia is not necessarily a genetic condition. It can be caused by accidental mistakes of development or toxic drugs (e.g., thalidomide) or other non-genetic causes. WhatamIdoing 05:04, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
