The most well characterized genes include DCX on the X chromosome, responsible for double cortex syndrome, and LIS1 on chromosome 17, the first gene identified for lissencephaly.
The human genome has around 3000 genes involved in coding for proteins. These genes are responsible for carrying out various functions within the body, such as producing enzymes, hormones, and structural proteins. Mutations in these genes can lead to genetic disorders or diseases.
Sickle cell anemia and some nerve and brain disorders are examples of genetic disorders caused by mutations in specific genes. Sickle cell anemia results from a mutation in the HBB gene, leading to abnormal hemoglobin and distorted red blood cells. Similarly, various nerve and brain disorders can arise from genetic mutations that affect neuronal function and development. Both types of disorders can have significant impacts on health and quality of life.
Genes and phenotype
Genes are transcribed to make Proteins
The genes for the enzymes of glycolysis are found in the human genome and are responsible for encoding the enzymes that catalyze each step of the glycolytic pathway. These genes are expressed in various tissues and play a critical role in converting glucose into energy for cellular functions. Mutations in these genes can impact glycolysis and lead to metabolic disorders.
No that is passed through something called Genes.
Genes are the blueprints for making proteins.
Several genetic disorders are caused by genes on the X chromosomes.
Some examples of genetic disorders involving more than one defective gene are cystic fibrosis, which is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene and other modifier genes; and certain types of neurofibromatosis, which result from mutations in both the NF1 and NF2 genes. These disorders demonstrate the complexity of genetic inheritance and the interactions between multiple genes.
