If not absorbed properly or in insufficient amounts there is a risk of diseases such as celiac disease‚ Crohn’s disease‚ cystic fibrosis‚ and pancreatic insufficiency. The active hormone form of vitamin D has the chemical name calcitrol. It is produced by the combined action of the skin‚ liver and kidneys. The skin absorbs ultraviolet rays from the sun and is converted into

Gene testing should be available for disorders that cannot be cured or prevented Genetic tests are done by analysing small samples of blood or body tissue. Therefore they can determine whether people carry the genes for certain inherited diseases. Genetic testing is continuously developing and has now developed enough that doctors can often accurately pinpoint missing of defective genes. This is crucial in the prevention of inherited disorders and giving parents around the world a chance to raise

pregnant women without a previous diagnosis of diabetes develop a high blood glucose level. It may precede development of type 2 DM. Other forms of diabetes mellitus include congenital diabetes‚ which is due to genetic defects of insulin secretion‚ cystic fibrosis-related diabetes‚ steroid diabetes induced by high doses of glucocorticoids‚ and several forms of monogenic diabetes. Untreated‚ diabetes can cause many complications. Acute complications include diabetic ketoacidosis and nonketotic hyperosmolar

In addition hemophilia‚ gene therapy trials have been conducted on people with muscular dystrophy‚ cystic fibrosis‚ HIV infection‚ rheumatoid arthritis‚ acute hepatic failure‚ many forms of cancer‚ a rare enzyme disorder called ADA deficiency‚ and other diseases.

Human genetic modification is very controversial in the world right now. Many think it should be allowed and many think otherwise. Why is genetic modification controversial throughout the world right now? Genetic modification is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. When you genetically modify an organism it can cause good things and bad things. It may cause diseases or it may prevent them. Genetic Modification should be allowed all over the world due to the fact at

and understood‚ there is hope that defective genes may be repaired and the disease cured by establishing new drugs based on the DNA base sequences of those genes or the structure of proteins coded for by them. Already‚ the genes responsible for cystic fibrosis‚ breast cancer‚ colon cancer‚ and sickle cell anemia have been found‚ making genetic tests for carriers of the disease a reality. In addition to this‚ the sequencing of the entire human genome will give us new insights into the origins‚ evolution
