8. The debate between Sachs and Easterly are fierce. However‚ it is interesting how they both want the same things for Africa: for them to do well. Before agreeing on either one of them‚ there’s a few things I’d like to point out‚ and look on both the pros and cons. First‚ Sachs may well be right that "An African green revolution‚ health revolution and connectivity revolution are all within reach." He’s right that aid can‚ and does work. Even though Easterly made an statement about how “ we know

Genetic Information Tay Sachs is a devastating genetic disease. There are three different forms of the disease- Early Onset which emerges around three to six months of age‚ Juvenile which mainly appears between the ages of two and five but could start anytime in childhood‚ and Late Onset which mostly presents in adolescence or early adulthood but could occur at any time. Tay Sachs is caused by a mutation--a deletion of chromosome 15. The HEX A gene on this chromosome is responsible for creating

Tay Sachs Disease Tay Sachs disease is caused by the homozygous recessive gene on chromosome 15 that codes for the lack of production of hexosaminidase-A (Hex-A) [1]. Since there is no HexA‚ a fatty substance is allowed build up abnormally in nerve cells‚ which damages the cells and the brain [1]. Males and females are equally likely to carry this recessive gene but the heterozygous gene carriers are not affected‚ because they still have the dominant gene [2]. If both parents have the heterozygous

Tay-Sachs Disease History: The disease is named for Warren Tay (1843-1927)‚ a British ophthalmologist who in 1881 described a patient with a cherry-red spot on the retina of the eye. It is also named for Bernard Sachs (1858-1944)‚ a New York neurologist whose work several years later provided the first description of the cellular changes in Tay-Sachs disease. Sachs also recognized the familial nature of the disorder‚ and‚ by observing numerous cases‚ he noted that most babies with Tay-Sachs

Tay-Sachs is a devastating disease affecting lysosomal storage. According to McCance & Huether (2014)‚ it is due to a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme hexosaminidates A (HexA) that’s function is to degrade GM2 gangliosides (fatty acids) in nerve cells. Those diagnosed with Tay-Sachs do not have the ability to degrade this fatty acid and as a result‚ it builds up in the body causing nerve cell toxicity. It is genetically inherited through an autosomal recessive pattern meaning that both parents

Tay-Sachs is a rare genetic disorder that slowly destroys nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and this disease effects millions of people (Tay-Sachs GHR). Tay-Sachs can’t be spread as it’s a genetic disorder. It is caused by a genetic mutation in the HEXA genes (Tay-Sachs GHR). People who have Tay-Sachs have problems with the enzyme called beta hexosamidase A and this enzyme is supposed to clean up the buildup of the molecule called GM2 ganglioside within cells but if it doesn’t it leads to
