ATP7B is a gene that causes Wilson's Disease. You must inherit two abnormal ATP7B genes, one from your mother and one from your father, to get the disease. If you inherit only one abnormal gene, you will not have the disorder, but will be a carrier of Wilson's Disease.
Wilson's Disease is a rare heredity disease in which copper accumulates in the brain and liver, gradually leading to tremors, muscular rigidity, kidney malfunction, and cognitive disturbances.

A gene that can be masked by another gene is called?
A gene that can be masked by another gene is referred to as a recessive gene. This means that the trait associated with the recessive gene is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present.
What is a version of a gene that masks the effect of another version?
A dominant gene is a version of a gene that will be expressed and mask the effect of a recessive gene in a heterozygous individual.
Which of these is a gene that does not express itself and is concealed by the presence of another gene of the same trait?
A recessive gene is a gene that does not express itself in the presence of a dominant gene of the same trait. When an individual inherits two recessive genes for a trait, the recessive gene will be expressed.
Inserting working copies of a gene directly into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder is called what?
That process is called gene therapy. It involves inserting functional copies of a gene into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder to correct the genetic mutation causing the disorder.
What is a dominant gene and what is a recessive gene?
Recessive gene is one which is supressed and do not show their characteristics and dominant gene is one which show their characteristics for example if a father has brown hair and mother has black hairs and if their son has black hair then in this case gene which has characteristics of black is dominant and the other which has characteristics of brown colour is recessive
How does Wilson disease affect a human organism?
Errors in the ATP7B gene produce a protein with decreased ability to bind copper. Unused copper is then absorbed back into the bloodstream where it is transported to other organs
What chromosome is affected during Wilson's disease?
Wilson's disease is caused by a mutation in the ATP7B gene, which is located on chromosome 13. This gene encodes a copper-transporting enzyme involved in copper metabolism. Mutations in this gene lead to impaired copper transport and accumulation of copper in various tissues, causing the symptoms of Wilson's disease.
A gene that can be masked by another gene is called?
A gene that can be masked by another gene is referred to as a recessive gene. This means that the trait associated with the recessive gene is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present.
What nicknames does Gene Snisky go by?
Gene Snisky goes by Mean Gene, Gene Sinisky, Gene Snitsky, and The Foot Freak.
When was Gene Gene the Dancing Machine born?
Gene Gene the Dancing Machine was born in 1932.
What nicknames does Gene Patton go by?
Gene Patton goes by Gene Gene The Dancing Machine.
When one gene expresses itself over another the former gene is said to be the DNA?
The gene that expresses itself over the other is Dominant. The former gene is recessive.
What is the movement of gene into and out of a gene pool called?
gene flow
What words contain the root word gene?
gene alogical gene amdahl gene amplification
What is the gene mask other genes in a gene pair?
the liver gene
What is the name of gene gene the dancing machine dance music?
Gene Gene danced to Jumpin at the Woodside by Count Basie.
Which nucleic acid can be a gene?
A gene is a segment only on DNA. A gene transcribed to mRNA is usually no longer referred to as a gene.
