Genetic and/or mysterious body quirks

I never have had tonsils.

😄😄 Me too!

Sometimes when I’m in a situation where I’m not 100% comfortable (and it’s not always negative), I get strange bony lumps on my head, just behind my ears. Their appearance is always painful, and when I ask other people to check them, they can also feel them protruding. I wondered once if it was my scalp possibly tightening which makes it seem as though these lumps are pushing out, but the shape also feels different to my usual skull!  The only other person I’ve ever known to experience this was my brother. Nobody believed him until I started to get the same thing. 😄

A sudden arrythmia death syndrome called long qt syndrome. My mom gave it to me and two sisters and I unknowingly passed it to my daughter. I’ve had to be resuscitated after cardiac arrests multiple times. My sister survived a cardiac arrest but later passed from it. Long qt hit our family hard.

My daughter has extreme webbed toes, which can be a sign of some types of long qt but not ours.

I can roll my tongue as can my son and his dad, but my daughter can’t roll hers but can touch her nose with it.

I had 4 wisdom teeth, my daughter three, and my son two.

I'm so sorry to hear you've all had to deal with this in your lives.

I used to be able to do that too!
Oh, just did with my left hand, all four at once, but not the right.

My grandson has a tooth inside of his eye tooth. I had taken him to the dentist when it was about 10ish and the dentist mentioned that she had seen it in books but never in real life. The eye tooth is a bit smaller than his other eye tooth, but you can definitely see the other tooth in the x-ray.

I have a very rare contion with an extra wire in my heart. I've never had issues with it, but it can cause death as it can cause your heart to beat way too fast.
It is called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

I have a hammer toe. Went to a family reunion and the number of hammer toes in the room…

Like a Preauricular Sinus? My kids’ pediatrician called it a Pitcairn Pit and said it was genetic. I checked out several family members and it seems to be on my side.

Theirs is on the upper back edge of the helix (pretty much the spot where the earpiece of your glasses sticks out). I'm sure it is genetic.

The roots on my teeth grow together at the bottom and form almost a circle, with nerves and tissue going thru the middle.
I have one double jointed thumb.
I have very tiny toenails on my pinky toes.
I have an eyelash that grows backwards into the corner of my eye. A few other women in my family have that.

My DH has a hole right in front of where the top of his ear attaches, between the ear and sideburn hair. Looks like there was a piercing there that has grown up.

My DD had an extra eye tooth on the left side. When her baby tooth fell out I wrote it in the baby book, some time later it came out again and I went to write it down and was confused. Kept looking in her mouth and counting teeth. 😂. Mentioned it next time we were at the dentist and they looked at a previous X-ray and saw a second (or third) tooth in that spot. 

Had a cousin that had no adult teeth. Had to get implants when his baby teeth fell out.
