Who discovered polydactyly?
Tyler Steven Hayden discovered polydactyly.
Does huntington's chorea disease is sex linked or inherited on autosomal genes?
No, it is autosomal dominant.
Is progeria autosomal or sex-linked?
Progeria is autosomal dominant.
Is free ear lobe trait autosomal or sex linked?
Yes, attached ear lobes are autosomal recessive.
What is a possible cure for polydactyly?
eat your boogers
Can scans cause polydactyly?
No. Polydactyly is purely an autosomal dominant genetic disorder and cannot be caused by any environmental stress.
Is sickle cell anemia a sexlinked trait?
Nope! The disease is equally in both males and females. This means that it is autosomal.
What race has the most cases of polydactyly?
http://www.emedicine.com/derm/topic692.htm Postaxial hand polydactyly is a common isolated disorder in African black and African American children, and autosomal dominant transmission is suspected. Postaxial polydactyly is approximately 10 times more frequent in blacks than in whites and is more frequent in male children. In contrast, postaxial polydactyly seen in white children is usually syndromic and associated with an autosomal recessive transmission.
Why does poly dactyl tend to pass on from generation to generation?
Polydactyly, the condition of having extra digits, can pass on from generation to generation due to genetic inheritance. It is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning that if one parent carries the gene for polydactyly, there is a 50% chance each child will inherit the condition. The specific genes and mechanisms involved in polydactyly inheritance can vary depending on the underlying genetic causes.
What is polydactyly a symptom of?
Polydactyly is a genetic disorder which leads to one having six fingers or toes. This is also known as hexadactyly. It is caused by an autosomal dominant gene. ~ Poly = many dactly = fingers and toes. Polydactyly means more than the usual number of fingers and/or toes. Some cases can be genetic but most are not and there can be any number (not necessarily 6).
Who discovered polydactyly?
Tyler Steven Hayden discovered polydactyly.
If both parents are heterozygous for polydactyly what percentage of offspring will exhibit polydactyly?
75%
When does polydactyly occur?
Polydactyly and syndactyly can occur simultaneously when extra digits are fused
How is Polydactyly treated?
Polydactyly can be corrected by surgical removal of the extra digit or partial digit
What are polydactyly and syndactyly?
Polydactyly is the term for the presence of extra fingers. Syndactyly is the term for fused fingers.
What are sexlinked genes?
Genes that are location on the sex chromosomes.
Is polydactyly common in men or women?
Polydactyly is more common in men, because it is a genetic disorder. Because females have 2 X chromosomes, a recessive trait passed down on one will be covered by the dominant trait on their other X chromosome for no polydactyly. Males though, have an X and Y chromosome which means that that the Y chromosome, carrying no trait for polydactyly, will not affect an X chromosome with the allele for polydactyly. Hence, polydactyly is found in men more than women.
