SUMMARY: In a screen for mutations that modify line-making
paralysis (LMP) disorder, we discovered novel genes that may explain the
persistence of the line-making gene in Turkish population. In our analysis, we
found that line-making (lim) is downstream of genes involved in
follow-the-rules (FR) pathway, and that several genes in this pathway are
either missing or mutated in Turkish population. Despite normal vision,
auditory acuity and adequate ability to read and write, Turkish people are
unable to form lines, tell the truth, properly wear helmet, wait in traffic or
care for safety.

In addition, we compared the entire Turkish genome to
genomes of other cultures and found that Turks have extra copies of pointless
bravery (pob) gene, a gene formerly associated with Darwin award winners. We made transgenic mice that lack the lim gene and found no behavioral or
anatomical abnormalities. However, when mice lacking the lim gene was
introduced extra copies of the pob gene, they attacked researchers: an
observation which may explain Turkey's current stand against Israel.

Although all Turks lack the lim gene, they vary in number of
copies of the pob gene. Turks that are able to survive in Europe or in US have 2-3 copies of pob (1%) while those that are actively involved in
organized crime (68%) have 15 or more copies. Rest of the population fall
somewhere between these numbers and have various problems in following the
rules. Since members of the Parliament have legal immunity, we were unable to
determine the number of pob copies in their genome. Overall, our studies demonstrate a
genetic link between lim and pob, and suggest a mechanism for development of
drugs targeted to cure LMP and decrease defraud in Turkey.
