Inheritance - Autosomal recessive, requires mutations on both alleles - A single gene on chromosome 7, which encodes for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator - There are over 1000 different mutations for this gene - The most common is Delta F508, which makes up 67% of all mutations in the Caucasian population - Caucasians most effected
What else can I help you with?
What kind of pathogen causes Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis is caused by a genetic mutation in the CFTR gene. This mutation leads to the production of thick, sticky mucus in the lungs and other organs. It is not caused by a specific pathogen, but individuals with Cystic Fibrosis are more susceptible to respiratory infections.
What kind of people has cystic fibrosis?
All kinds of people. If you have recently suffered from measles or chicken pox you can easily catch it just stay away from pets and farm animals and you should be fine!
What kind of molecule produces the symptoms of cystic fibrosis?
CF is caused by a defective chloride ion channel. There's a mutation in gene that codes for the protein which forms the channel. Chloride ions pass through it.
What kind of molecules produce the symptoms of cystic fibrosis?
cystic fibrosis is a genetic code, so its not really molecules that cause it, however its more of a DNA mutation that's happened when your born. this means that your mucus cells don't function properly and when they are created, they are made with the wrong gene coding and so will produce more mucus than they're supposed to which is what forms in the lungs. i think that's right and i hope it helps :)
What kind of health management services are available in Toronto?
There are a range of different health management services available in Toronto including, mental health, substance abuse, heart and stroke foundation, cancer care, cystic fibrosis and kidney foundation
What kind of conditions is carried on a chromosomes other than the sex chromosomes?
Sickle cell anemia and cystic fibrosis are carried on autosomes (chromosomes other than the sex chromosomes). Probably too many to list . . Right now, off the top of my head, I can think of Down's Syndrome (21st chromosome) and the "cri du chat" (5th chromosome) . . .
Who can tell me what is inheritance tax?
Inheritance tax is the tax that you have to pay if you gain some kind of income through an inheritance fund. It is like adding to the income you gain through inheritance.
What is respiratory disorder?
Any kind of disorder that has to do with breathing.Respiratory disorders are Asthma,COPD etc.
In one kind of abnormal chromosome inheritance called?
In one kind of abnormal chromosome inheritance called Down syndrome, a child has three copies of Chromosome 21!
What kind of inheritance is not allowed in java?
Java does not allow the multiple inheritance of concrete classes, though it does allow a "hybrid" inheritance of one concrete class and multiple interfaces.
What kind of doctor treats cystic fibrosis?
I had a nine inch ovarian cyst that ruptured. First I saw the ER doctor and then I was referred to a gynecologist. The gynecologist ordered an ultra sound and a couple other tests. Because of the size of the cyst and major blood loss the gyn removed the cyst.
What is the test to confirm cystic fibrosis?
CF develops early in childhood, the most common at 3 months. Simple genetic tests can tell you if you carry the gene that produces CF. CF is found in chromosome 7 and has 3 'ladder steps' missing. This results in the child having CF.
