Inherited defect



X-No-archive: yes
I don't know if it has a particularly Jewish linkage but my husband does have ptosis.
I think you will find people of all religions/races with this but I haven't done any
research!

<snip>Does anyone know if the inherited defect - Ptosis - a weakening of the
eyelid muscles has a particular Jewish linkage ?
