Is angelman syndrome autosomal?
"Autosomal" means the syndrome or disorder of interest is pertaining to a chromosome that is not a sex chromosome, either X or Y. Angelman and Prader-Willi Syndrome are both caused by a deletion (or disruption of a gene) on chromosome 15, which is an autosomal chromosome and not a sex chromosome. Therefore, yes, Angelman syndrome is considered an autosomal syndrome.
Is there any cure for of a genetic disease called Angelman's syndrome?
Angelman's syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by deletion on genes on chromosome 15 contributed by the mother to child, once you are born with it, the faulty gene has already done the damage. There is no cure for it. Note: If their deletion of the same gene on chromosome 15 contributed by the father, it results in Prader Willi syndrome.
Is prader-willi syndrome sex-linked?
Not in the scientific sence as the genes are not located on the sex chromosomes. It can rarley be caused by genes from the father mutating as the equivolent genes from the mother are almost silent due to gene imprinting. So in a more general sence it may be associated with the gender of the parent from whom deleted gene copys were recieved.
What gene or chromosome is affected by down syndrome?
Chromosome 21 is tripled in Down syndrome.
How is the prader-willi syndrome gene dominant?
Prader-Willi Syndrome is neither dominant or recessive - it is simply a genetic anomaly that occurs at conception (it's not inherited - it just happens) where part of the 15th chromosome that should be present/active is missing. This occurs either because it is totally missing (known as deletion) or because the child gets 2 chromosome 15s from the mother (instead of 1 from mom and 1 from dad which is the way it should be) and therefore that part of chromosome 15 that should be active from the father is nonexistent (this is known as uniparental disomy, or UPD)
If you have Andersen's syndrome what are the chances that your two children will have it?
Andersen's syndrome is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. This means that EACH child of a person with Andersen's syndrome will have a 50% chance of inheriting the gene associated with the syndrome. However, not all people who inherit the gene will show symptoms of the syndrome. Children of people affected with Andersen's syndrome should be evaluated by a qualified physician to determine risk.
What chromosome number is affected in Lowe syndrome?
Lowe syndrome is caused by a mutated gene on the X sex chromosome. Because it is X-linked, it occurs almost exclusively in males.
What gene is affected in Down Syndrome?
It is the result of a chromosomal abnormality, in which there is an extra chromsome on the chromosome 21 pair. This is call trisomy 21.
Which chromosome is affected in Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome?
Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is caused by a non-functional copy of the BREP binding protein gene (either by mutation or deletion) on chromosome 16.
What gene is affected by Barth syndrome?
Barth syndrome occurs when a person is born with a mutated, or abnormal, TAZ1 (or G4.5) gene. This abnormal gene is located on the X chromosome, which is a sex-determining chromosome. Males have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
What is the genetic trace of 'CHARGE' syndrome?
Charge syndrome is genetic. Mutations in a new member of the chromodomain gene family cause CHARGE syndrome. This syndrome is a common cause of congenital anomalies affecting several tissues in nonrandom fashion. Some research has been shown that detected mutations are in the gene CHD7 in 10 of 17 individuals with CHARGE syndrome that didn't have microdeletions, accounting for the disease in most affected individuals.
How many chromosome do you have when you have fragile x syndrome?
Fragile X syndrome is caused by a mutation that prevents the Fragile X mental retardation (Fmr-1) gene from being transcribed. This gene is located on the X chromosome (the sex chromosome). Since males only carry one of these chromosomes, they are twice as likely to be affected by the mutation than females.
