December 1‚ 2012 Polydactyle Polydactyle is a genetic disorder that is caused by a gene on chromosome seven. Polydactyle is a condition were an individual has more than five digits per hand. Most cases are isolated and not related to any other disorder but some are related to others. The errors occur during fetal development and they are caused by on several mutations on a gene that is known as chromosome seven. Polydactlyle is Autosomal dominant meaning that an offspring can get this

Asthma is mainly about the muscles in the airways constricting making it difficult to breathe. A person with asthma may say it is hard for them to catch their breath. In this essay I am going to summarize what asthma is‚ the symptoms of asthma‚ the diagnosis‚ and the treatment for this disease. I want to inform people who have asthma or know anybody that has asthma to be aware what to do and how to treat it. There are many respiratory diseases that one can have‚ and most of them are quite frightening

Human Genetic Engineering Human Genetic Engineering can be very productive towards advancing our society‚ but like every 2 steps forward you have to take a step back. Of course‚ Human Genetic Engineering is complex in all of the good and bad of its research‚ why would anything be simple? As it goes with most research that goes towards our advancement‚ i.e. Embryotic Stem Cells‚ religious people tend to disagree with the scientists. As the scientists tend to disagree with the logicians and logicians

Adolescents should be allowed to partake in predictive or predispositional genetic testing without discouragement from medical facilities or family members. Huntington’s disease is an inherited disorder that arises from a mutation in the HTT gene‚ which codes for the huntingtin protein. The disease presents fatal complications because it causes degeneration of nerve cells in the brain‚ which in turn negatively impacts physical and mental performance (Mayoclinic). Symptoms of the disease include

Pros and Cons of Genetic Testing The human body is composed of millions of cells‚ which contain DNA inside of each one. DNA comes together to form genes which tell the body how it should develop‚ and it is important to know about diseases and traits you can get from your parents. Genetic Testing is a good thing because people can find out if they have a certain gene mutation. Advantages are more important than the disadvantages of Genetic Teating. Advantages of Genetic Testing include faster

Introduction Prenatal genetic testing‚ also known as prenatal diagnosis or prenatal screening‚ tests for diseases and disorders in a developing fetus or embryo. It is typically used for detecting Down’s syndrome or other chromosome abnormalities‚ spina bifida‚ cleft palate‚ Tay-Sachs disease‚ sickle cell anemia‚ thalassemia‚ cystic fibrosis‚ muscular dystrophy‚ and fragile X syndrome. There have been multiple ways to test for these diseases/disorders over the years‚ including (but not inclusive

and more. A parent can get rid of all his child’s blemishes and ensure a prosperous life. World diseases can be cured and sicknesses healed. Though this may seem like science fiction‚ this future is getting closer and closer thanks to advances in genetics. Many people may envy this future‚ but its consequences may be horrendous. Editing the human genome should never become a reality due to many harmful and drastic consequences. Currently‚ technologies such as CRISPR are allowing for the editing of

Genes are codes for certain function that are found in DNA. The combination of genes is what makes each individual unique. MCADD is a genetic disorder‚ caused by a mutation or damage to the gene‚ ACADM‚ that codes for the enzyme‚ medium chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase. This results in the enzyme being absent or existing in minimal quantities. An enzyme increases the rate of a chemical reaction. Our body needs many enzymes in order to make the materials needed for our bodies to function and be healthy
