"Sonic The Hedgehog" is the name of a gene thats involved in development of your limbs and organs long before you were born. In textbooks it is known as 'Shh Gene'. Defects in this gene expression is pretty bad...
"Robotnikinin" is a molecule that binds Sonic The Hedgehog and blocks its effect and activities.
Isn't it cool how we have Video Game references in science and Medicine?
Maybe one day we'll have a heart condition called 'Xehanortitis' or an eye condition called "Xehanort Related - Inflammatory Conjunctivital Jaundice"...
There might be a psychiatric-somatic conditioned named "The Sora Syndrome" Characterised by a period of hypersomnolence and amnesia (usually related to puberty for unknown reasons) followed by pathological excessive friendliness, high anger threshold and inability to grasp certain concepts as well as loss of abstract thinking.
