Yes an actual baby.. infant. Lol
Myostatin genes at it again...
The best example of myostatin gene deletions in humans was provided by Schuelke and colleagues back in 2004. The figure comes from that study and shows the image of the child at 6 days old (left side) and at 7 months (right). Arrowheads point to clear increases in muscle tissue at the hip and lower leg. The ultrasound images show the areas and sizes of the muscles (F=femur bone, VL, VI, VM, and RF are all parts of the ‘quadriceps’ knee extensor muscle group) for the child with the mutation (left) and a child of the same age without the mutation. This boy continued to develop normally but with greatly enhanced strength. In fact, at the age of 4½ this child could hold two 3 kg dumbbells with arms straight out to the sides!
