Yes, but this is not the main cause for all cases. Others can be genetic or birth defects during pregnancy.
There are two main variations of clubfoot: bilateral and unilateral. Bilateral clubfoot affects both feet and is more common, accounting for about 50% of cases. Unilateral clubfoot affects only one foot. Additionally, there can be variations in the severity of the condition, ranging from mild to severe.
Yes. The mother would have to have a heterozygous Rh genotype, so that she could pass on an Rh negative allele to her offspring.
The parents pass along genes to the child
Yes, a child with B+ blood can have a father with A- blood. In order for this to occur, the mother would need to be B+ or AB+ and the father would need to be heterozygous.
Yes! The genotypes of the parents can only be "OO" (means two O genes) so both of them cannot give a "B" gene to the child
The Clubfoot was created in 1642.
No. An AB father does not have an O allele and can only pass on an A or B allele to his child. So the child will either be type A or type B, but not O.
From what I have read (and my own personal experience with clubfoot), I am fairly certain that "Yes, clubfoot can be considered a disability". Like most other orthopedic impairments, clubfoot ranges in severity from one person to the next.
True clubfoot is usually obvious at birth
True clubfoot is characterized by abnormal bone formation in the foot
Clubfoot can affect one foot or both
Clubfoot is a condition a person is born with, it does not develop during puberty.
There is a 50% chance that the baby will have Marfan. The father might pass on the gene that has the Marfan mutation, or he might pass on the gene that does not. Each child you have together has a 50% chance.
Yes. If both parents are heterozygous for the Rh factor, each could pass on a recessive Rh negative allele to the child. Since the father has the B blood group, it is possible for him to pass on his B allele to the child. So these two parents could have a B negative child.
There are two main variations of clubfoot: bilateral and unilateral. Bilateral clubfoot affects both feet and is more common, accounting for about 50% of cases. Unilateral clubfoot affects only one foot. Additionally, there can be variations in the severity of the condition, ranging from mild to severe.
Talipes, talipes varus, or talipes equinovarus is the medical term meaning clubfoot.
It depends. If the child is male, the person to pass the trait on must be the mother. She may be a hybrid or color-blind herself for her to be capable of doing this. If the child is female, the father must be color-blind in addition to the mother being a carrier. Both have to donate the recessive gene to their daughter.
