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

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

history‚ scientists and physicians have tried to find the exact cause of the disorder‚ but only in the last 30 years been able to confirm genetics as a culprit. Advances in research have enabled scientists to accurately pinpoint genetic variants that can alter each patient’s reaction to certain medication and treatment methods. Scientists are studying the genetic underpinnings of bipolar disorder in order one day‚ in the future‚ to be able to provide personalized medication and treatment plans for

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

increased resistance to herbicides or improved nutritional content. The enhancement of desired traits has traditionally been undertaken through breeding‚ but conventional plant breeding methods can be very time consuming and are often not very precise. Genetic engineering‚ on the other hand‚ can create plants with the exact desired trait very rapidly and with great accuracy. For example‚ plant geneticists can isolate a gene responsible for drought tolerance and insert that gene into a different plant. The

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

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
