No. Gene therapy alters a person's genetic code, generally by inserting a genetic sequence. Trisomy 21 (downs syndrome) is caused by the presence of a copy (or part of a copy) of the 21st chromosome. Genetic therapy would not be able to remove this extra chromosome. It might be possible (in the future) to "turn off" the extra chromosome, and stop trisomy-21 at the embryo stage. However, by the time a person is born, the physical damage from downs syndrome has been done. After a few months to a year or so, the mental damage from downs syndrome will also be done. So no "treatment" for downs syndrome will be possible using genetic modification such as gene therapy.
At the present time there is no gene therapy for Down syndrome, although we do not know what medical research might discover in the future.
no because it is a person's genteic code.
is down syndrome acquired genetic disease
down syndrome
There's many different genetic disorders such as: Down Syndrom Canavan Disease Muenke Syndrome Bloom Syndrome etc
The genetic developmental defect is spelled "Down Syndrome" or sometimes "Down's Syndrome."
No, Down's syndrome is only a human genetic disorder. Those with the disorder have an extra chromosome. Raccoons do not get this particular genetic disorder.
no if the one of the parents have it and it is genetic then yes. but in this case no because it is not genetic
Angelman syndrome is a genetic disorder, as is Down syndrome. But they are not the same. Angelman Syndrome involves a deletion of Chromosome 15, whereas people with Down syndrome have an extra copy of Chromosome 21.
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder, a person with this disorder has it for life, it does not go away.
a).altering pidegrees b).curing down syndrome c).eliminating infant deaths d).producing medicine Well it has to be d). producing medicine, because genetic engeniring has already helped people for a while. for mant reasons.
Additional chromosome
Down's Syndrome is caused mainly by a mutation in the gene. It is a genetic disorder, which means it was passed on from parents to offspring.
Docks do not get down syndrome. You have not studied the genetic diseases of ducks to any extent. But one can be sure that ducks too must be getting as many genetic diseases.
