Genetic diseases are kind of disease caused by the genetic material that makes up a person.They are caused by abnormalities in genes that are referred to as variations.Some of these diseases are caused entirely by genes while others are a combination of genetic and environmental factors.The genetic disorder can also be inherited from parent to child. These diseases are of different types and have different causes.One type is called a single gene disorder‚ Genetic diseases which fall into this category

Indeed‚ Genetic information play a major role in medicine as an important determinant of a factor of diseases. Certainly‚ the use of clinical screening and genetic testing in Individuals and family members allow them to obtain data about important Genetic facts that could contribute to the prevention and treatment of diseases. However‚ to use this sensitive information require the clinicians and healthcare professionals knowledge about risks and ethical implication of genetic diseases. “Ethical

Genetics of Sickle Cell Anemia Objectives • To observe how a disease can act as a selective force • To describe changes in allele frequencies in a population as a result of a selective force Hypothesis The starting ratio of HbA to HbS is 3:1; in a typical population‚ the Homozygous Dominant Gene would become the standard‚ but because carrying the Heterozygous version of the allele has an advantage to fighting Malaria it will become the dominant Allele for the population. The HbA/HbS gene will

Genetic conditions are one or more problems‚ difficulties‚ or abnormalities in the genome. Most are present from birth and are very rare. This means they only affect one person in approximately every several thousand or million. These conditions are mainly formed due to mutations in a person’s gene. Genetic conditions have helped scientists a lot due to the different types of genetic conditions there are out in today’s world. Ectodermal Dysplasia a genetic condition that is not a single disorder

Genetic Test The genetic test will revolutionize the way of knowing and diagnosing the disease by studying the genes. So‚ many people might advocate it in order to improve the treatments and the health technology. I think the genetic test can make my life worse. Knowing the diseases that might you get in the future will have negative impacts. This might get me cranky and worried about the future. I will not get any benefits by knowing the disease. Some people might say that you can change your

Genetic diversity analysis The five primer combinations amplified 13 fragments ranging in size between 50 to 400 base pairs‚ of which 9 (69.23%) were polymorphic (Table 5). The highest number of amplification products was obtained with the primer combination me5-em9 and the lowest with me4-em4 while the average number of bands among the five primer pairs was 2.6 (Figure 1). The number of polymorphic fragments for each primer combination varied from 0 to 4 with the average number 1.8. (Table 5)

responses if deemed socially acceptable in their environment. But is there an underlying genetic basis for violence and aggression? In some very real sense violence is embodied in the human genetic/evolutionary legacy due to its recurrent manifestation in our species and our history. So is there a biological reason for this? In 1993‚ a group of researchers from the Netherlands and the USA described a genetic defect discovered in one large Dutch family that caused impulsive‚ violent and hostile behaviour

Genetic Drift There are two types of genetic drift‚ the bottleneck effect and the founder effect. Genetic drift is a term that refers to changes in allele frequencies. These changes happen by chance and cannot be predicted. Let’s look at both types of genetic drift. The first genetic drift type we will look at is the bottleneck effect. Genetic drift can affect real world organisms through a mechanism called a population bottleneck. This is when a large population is slashed and
