tested on the diseases for which there is no cure. This article shall look primarily into cystic fibrosis‚ as well as X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)‚ as examples to describe the potential of gene therapy in medicine. Cystic fibrosis is a single gene disorder‚ with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. The gene is located on the long ‘q’ arm of chromosome 7 and is called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (2). The gene product is an apical membrane

What tissues and organs does this disease affect? Once you identify all the tissues and organs‚ briefly explain their respective dysfunction. Exocrine Glands – glands may become blocked‚ produce excessive secretions Sweat Glands – extreme decrease in salt reabsorbtion‚ resulting in high salt content in sweat. Lungs – Mucus

There was a table on the paper that you could use to determine that. Procedure 17.6 For this particular procedure you also had to determine if Huntington’s disease is inherited as a dominant

(Gerson et al. 2000). While this defense mechanisms remains prevalent in cystic fibrosis patients it appears to be compromised in that it allows the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in airway mucus. The fact that people with cystic fibrosis are equally exposed to pathogens as any healthy person it remains a question as to why Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been successful at inhabiting and multiplying in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. A recent study‚ A novel siderophore system is essential for

found in our chromosomes‚which parents pass on to offspring in their sex cells in reproduction. Different versions of the same gene are called alleles‚ and these can determine features like eye colour‚ and the inheritance of disorders such as cystic fibrosis. DNA the nucleus controls the activities of a cell. The instructions for how an organism develops are found in the nuclei of its cells Chromosomes Chromosomes are structures found in the nucleus of most cells. They consist of long strands

Later‚ the student was asked to transfer to another school because he might develop cystic fibrosis. The school is afraid that he will spread lung diseases to other students. However‚ the student does not have cystic fibrosis at all. The school discriminates the student because of his genetic
