World's Tallest Teenager. Chromosome Flipped.
http://highschool.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1011697
He was an average newborn, measuring just over 19 inches. But by five months old, he had gained 14 pounds and had all of his teeth. At 2, he was 3-foot-5; by 5 he was 4-for-5. At ll, he was 6-foot-8. He's now 14.
Adams gave Luck the medical explanation for his growth: "It was my 12th chromosome that broke in half and flipped over and reattached," he said.
The kid is dealing with a lot of problems. It's amazing he's as well adjusted as he is. Watch the video and see the size of the spleen they removed from his body.

Thank goodness the coach has a big heart and made his football desires come to pass!
The young man's determination and heart is admirable... to repeat teedie's post: bless his heart.
By appearance alone, he looks to be dealing gigantism, but his is totally different: gigantism is hormonal vs his being chromosome based. Progress has been made in the science world when it comes to dealing with gigantism and the hormonal output that causes it... hopefully drs can find a way to slow or stop his extra-ordinary growth, one day soon.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just that yours is stupid.

I saw him on a documentary on TLC or one of those channels. He's an amazing kid. Thanks for the link.
