What causes Fabry's disease?
Fabry's disease has an X-linked, recessive pattern of inheritance, meaning that the defective gene is carried on the X chromosome.
What kind of disease is CGD?
CGD is an X-linked genetic disease, meaning the defective gene is carried on the X chromosome (one of the sex chromosomes). Females have two copies of the X chromosome, whereas males have one X and one Y.
What chromosome is Parkinson's disease on?
Chromosome 4
Is gaucher disease-sex linked?
Gaucher's disease is located on chromosome 1, which is not the sex chromosome, so no. It is not a sex linked disease.
Why is huntingtons deisease so unusual?
Huntington's disease is the result of a genetic defect on chromosome 4. This defect causes an excessive repetition of a section of the DNA on this chromosome. A unique characteristic of this disease is that as this gene gets passed down from generation to generation, the number of repeats of this DNA section increases. The more repeats that occur, the greater the chances of the carrier to develop symptoms of the disease at a younger age.
Is Parkinson disease on chromosome 6?
No, Parkinson's disease is not caused by a mutation on chromosome 6. The exact cause of Parkinson's disease is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some rare forms of Parkinson's disease are linked to specific gene mutations, but these are not located on chromosome 6.
What chromosome number is affected by the Anderson Fabry disease?
It's Chromosome X .
What is Kennedy's disease?
Kennedy's disease , an X-linked (carried by women and passed on to male offspring) SMA, features similar wasting of facial muscles as seen in ALS, with characteristic difficulty speaking and swallowing
What chromosome is effected when you have crohn's disease?
Chromosome 16 has been a target of study by Crohns disease researchers lately and Chromosome 16 probably contains between 850 and 1,200 genes.
What chromosome number is affected by alzheimer's disease?
Chromosome numbers: 1, 14, 19, and 21 are affected by Alzheimer's disease.
What chromosome number is affected in sickle cell disease?
Sickle cell disease is caused by a mutation on chromosome 11, specifically in the HBB gene that codes for the beta-globin protein. This mutation leads to the production of abnormal hemoglobin, resulting in the characteristic sickle-shaped red blood cells.
What is the condition that is carried on the x chromosome whereby an affected mother passes the condition to all sons?
for son x chromosome comes from mother and y chromosome from father. If the mother had both allele got affected then the transfer of disease is 100 %. If only one allele is affected then 50% possibility of son getting affected
