How many types of influenza exist?
There are four main types of influenza viruses: A, B, C, and D. Influenza A and B are the most common causes of seasonal flu in humans, while influenza C tends to cause milder respiratory illness. Influenza D primarily affects animals.
What for letters stand for the 4 types of bases?
The four types of bases in DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). These bases pair up in specific combinations (A with T and G with C) to form the rungs of the DNA double helix.
Is C a blood type?
Yes, "C" is a blood group antigen but not a specific blood type. Blood types refer to the ABO system (A, B, AB, O) and the Rh system (positive or negative). The "C" antigen is part of the Rh system.
What are the four types of nucleotides?
The four types of nucelotides are Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Adenine. For RNA, Adenine is replaced with Uracil, which is a smaller nucleotide of sorts. The four nucleotides pair as Thymine and Adenine (or Uracil in RNA), and Guanine or Cytosine.
What are the different types of sickle cell disease and how do they differ from each other?
There are several types of sickle cell disease, including sickle cell anemia, sickle beta thalassemia, and sickle cell-hemoglobin C disease. These types differ based on the specific genetic mutations that affect the hemoglobin protein in red blood cells. Sickle cell anemia is the most common and severe form, where individuals have two copies of the sickle cell gene. Sickle beta thalassemia and sickle cell-hemoglobin C disease are milder forms that result from different combinations of genetic mutations. Symptoms and complications can vary among the different types of sickle cell disease.
What is the prognosis for patients suffering from Types C and D NPD?
With Types C and D NPD, there is significant nervous system damage leading to severe muscle spasms, seizures, and eventually, to coma and death.
How fatal is NPD-C in children?
The vast majority of children with NPD-C die before age 20, and many before the age of 10.
What are types C and D Niemann-Pick disease related to?
Types C or D NPD are related to cholesterol transfer out of cells.
What are the three types of Niemann Pick Disease?
type A (NPD A), the acute infantile form; type B (NPD-B), a less common, chronic, non-neurological form; and type C (NPD-C), a biochemically and genetically distinct form of the disease.
What is the prognosis for patients with NPD C?
The life expectancy of patients with type C is variable. Some patients die in childhood while others, who appear to be less drastically affected, live into adulthood.
How is NPD-C diagnosed?
NPD-C is diagnosed by taking a small skin biopsy , growing the cells (fibroblasts) in the laboratory, and studying their ability to transport and store cholesterol.
Which of the following is a type of prediction a iconoclasm b diagnosis c prognosis?
C prognosis
What are the characteristics of NPD-C?
People with NPD-C are not able to metabolize cholesterol and other lipids properly within the cells. Consequently, excessive amounts of cholesterol accumulate in the liver and spleen.
What is the average age of onset for NPD-C?
usually affects children of school age, but the disease may strike at any time from early infancy to adulthood.
What causes NPD-C?
Mutations in two independent genes result in the clinical features of this disease.
What conditions result in children with Types C and D Niemann-Pick disease?
Children with Types C or D grow normally in early childhood, but eventually develop difficulty in walking and loss of muscle coordination.
What are the possible blood types among the children of parents that are IAIB and ii?
The children of parents with blood types IAIB and ii could have blood types IAi or IAIB.
