Is Patau Disease a sex linked disease or autosomal?
Patau syndrome, also known as trisomy 13, is an autosomal genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 13. It is not sex-linked, as it affects chromosomes that are not related to sex determination. This condition can lead to various physical and intellectual disabilities, and it typically results from nondisjunction during cell division.
How does a person receive the gauchers disease?
Gaucher's disease is an inherited genetic disorder caused by mutations in the GBA gene. A person inherits this mutation from both parents in an autosomal recessive manner. It results in the build-up of a fatty substance called glucocerebroside in cells, affecting the organs and tissues.
What is an autosomal dominant disorder that results in a defective or deficient LDL receptor known as?
An autosomal dominant disorder that results in a defective or deficient LDL receptor is known as familial hypercholesterolemia. (FH). Most patient with FH do not live beyond 30 without intervention.
What are the results of when the blood pressure in the capillaries greatly exceeds the osmotic pressure of the blood?

Who does a male inherit an autosomal recessive disorder from?
A male can inherit an autosomal recessive disorder from both of his carrier parents, who each pass down a copy of the mutated gene. This results in the male having two copies of the mutated gene, leading to the manifestation of the disorder.
A person who has inherited the autosomal recessive disorder called?
A person who has inherited an autosomal recessive disorder will have two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent. This results in the individual expressing the disorder. Symptoms can vary depending on the specific disorder.
What is the disease that results from malfunction of lysosomes?
Alzheimer
What is a fatal genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern in which harmful quantities of a fatty substance called ganglioside accumulate in the nerve cells in the brain?
The disorder you are referring to is Tay-Sachs disease. It is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme hexosaminidase A, leading to the accumulation of ganglioside GM2 in nerve cells. This buildup results in progressive neurological damage, typically manifesting in infancy and leading to severe disabilities and early death. There is currently no cure, and affected individuals usually do not survive past early childhood.
Tay-Sachs disease results from the malfunction of?
Enzymes
What is the acquired immunity that results when a person has a disease is?
The response to infections is active or cellular immunity. Acquired immunity
Huntington's disease is an example of a genetic disorder caused by?
It is a familial disorder that is genetic, and causes degeneration of some of the nerve cells in the brain. You inherit it from your parents. The defect is in the HD gene (an inherited unit which contains a code for a protein), which is located on the short arm of chromosome 4.
A disease of the nervous system results in severe muscle shakes?
I'm guessing tremor or Parkinson's Disease.
