Um, and so what we think is going on potentially and this relates to the work that we did with mice as well is that um because of these higher I hesitate to say elevated because that's a clinical term higher than average thyroid hormone levels um people are prod or the you know the mice the humans whoever it is are producing more red blood cells Um and so now whether that's kind of stretching the spleen um you know because the spleens that we saw in the mice were larger but less dense um or you know if there's some other mechanism we're not completely sure yet but yeah it seems like these higher than average thyroid hormone levels at least when the genetic cause was um was what we saw in the cenomads increase the size of the spleen increase hemoglobin increase hematocrit um increase red blood cell count.
