Edd Genetic Conditions

Genetic conditions are one or more problems, difficulties, or abnormalities in the genome. Most are present from birth and are very rare. This means they only affect one person in approximately every several thousand or million. These conditions are mainly formed due to mutations in a person’s gene. Genetic conditions have helped scientists a lot due to the different types of genetic conditions there are out in today’s world.

Ectodermal Dysplasia a genetic condition that is not a single disorder. It is built upon several other closely related dysfunctions. ED affects the growth or development of the teeth, hair, nails, and sweat glands. Ectodermal Dysplasia is usually caused by mutations in the EDA gene which are inherited in an x-linked recessive pattern. Some symptoms are absence or malformation of some or all teeth, not being able to perspire which can cause overheating, irregular skin pigmentation, etc. In my opinion i believe ED must’ve been amusing to research and figure out due to all the different abnormalities in one genetic condition, but I’m sure it wasn’t easy either.
This genetic condition is extremely rare because it only happens to 0.01% of all people. Situs Inversus can happen alone or as a part of a syndrome with many other defects. An example is an isolated congenital heart defect. Symptoms of this would be a complete mirror image transportation of the chest and abdominal organs all while the anterior-posterior symmetry is normal. My thoughts on SI are that it’s very amazing how a person could have this genetic condition and be able to still be a perfectly good, live, and breathing
