Specific SNP Cause A Disease: A Genetic Analysis
Although it is possible that a specific SNP does not cause a disorder, SNPs act as a biological marker and can be associated with some diseases. This association helps scientists to discover an individual’s genetic predisposition towards developing a disease. When SNPs happen within or near a region gene, they can have an important role in the disease process by affecting the gene function. Also if a certain SNP has an association with a trait then scientists can try to find out the stretches of DNA around the SNP and determine a gene or genes that are responsible for the

    Lab 8: Genetic Analysis

    In Lab 8, we had analyzed remains found at a wooded area near Jonesburg and tried to determine if the bones belonged to a 28-year-old woman who had been reported missing from a city within the vicinity. Upon analysis, it was determined that they did belong to a female. However, it was not possible to determine if the bones did belong to the missing women. Lab 12 presented the opportunity to genetically analyze the remains found. DNA profiling, also referred to as typing and fingerprinting, uses genetic material to show relatedness and uncover the identity of organisms. Most commonly associated with forensics, it can be used in an array of scientific fields such as anthropology. One method that can be used, when a large sample present, is restriction…

    Cystic Fibrosis Research Paper

    When a person is born, their DNA is subject to many different mutations throughout their life. Some of which are inherited from their parents, they develop at birth or during their adulthood. Some of these mutations are harmless and can go unnoticed for your whole existence, while others can alter your health drastically. There are some mutations that are considered to be valuable, as well as a silent one which does not affect you at all. The mutations heard about most often are those that cause disease such as, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, and Tay-Sachs disease (Genetics.) These specific diseases are both devastating and life changing. Each disease is caused by a mutation in different gene and in turn affects different parts…

    Genetic Disorders: Muscular Dystrophy

    Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. 349 out of 2.37 million males aged 5-24 were reported to have DMD or BMD in the United States. This means that about 15 of every 100,000 males aged between 5-24 were affected that year. Also, a close friend of mine had muscular dystrophy so it played a role in my life. I wanted to know if it could be cured and if not was there any treatments for it. Muscular dystrophy could potentially be cured through gene therapy, but currently the disease is best treated with a steroid named Prednisone.…

    Alcoholism and Gnes

    This relates to what we are doing in class because we are speaking about genes and genetics. We’re also learning about genetic disorders which happen when one person is missing a chromosome or has an extra chromosome. Examples can be Down syndrome or Turner Syndrome. This also relates to punnett squares. In punnett squares you find the probability of characteristics and you can use one to find out the probability of a person developing alcoholism. This article relates to class and can possibly relate to anybody’s life. This article taught me that alcoholism is a genetic “disease” and is not something to take lightly. It also helped me learn how traits are passed down through generations and it will continue as long as that gene is in the…

    Nature Nurture Debate

    Genetics plays a vital role in the development of the human life as some disorders cannot be prevented as they are genetically predisposed, genetics determine your eye colour the same way it will develop the brains efficiency. Take Down syndrome for example if there is three copies of chromosomes 21 are present. This genetic deficiency is a fact as it occurs throughout all races no matter what their surrounding environment is like. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs, pancreas, liver and intestines. Cystic Fibrosis is caused by a mutation in the gene for protein. Cystic Fibrosis is common in a lot of race and gender and is not determined by the surrounding environment as it is caused when the neither of the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator) gene is working as a result of mutation and therefore inheritance. Sickle cell anaemia is a genetic blood disorder, it is more common in people with a sub tropical background, is called a disease as it is inherited abnormality causes pathological condition which can lead to death. When a person inherits only one gene for the condition (from either their mother or father) they are said to have ‘sickle-cell trait’. This trait may result in problems if the person becomes short of oxygen.…
