Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (FAN) or Corino de Andrade's disease, a form of Paramyloidosis, is a neurodegenerative autosomal dominant genetically transmitted disease, first identified and described by Portuguese neurologist Mário Corino da Costa Andrade, in the 1950s. It is a fatal and incurable disease.

In addition, Huntington's Disease and Sickle Cell Anemia are both genetically transmitted ailments.
What else can I help you with?
Why a lethal dominant genetic disease persists in the gene pool?
That depends on what you mean by lethal. If you mean e.g. the gene for Huntington's disease than this is because the carrier is likely to pass on their genes before death as it only manifests later on in life. Unless the gene causes the carrier to die before they reproduce - it will stay in the gene pool. Would you kill someone because they had a genetic disorder or not let them reproduce?
What is it called when you inherited kidney disease?
Inheriting kidney disease is commonly referred to as familial or genetic kidney disease. This means the condition is passed down through generations due to inherited genetic mutations.
Why is genotyping important for understanding genetic variations and their impact on health and disease?
Genotyping is important for understanding genetic variations and their impact on health and disease because it allows researchers to identify specific genetic markers associated with certain conditions. By analyzing an individual's genetic makeup, genotyping can help predict disease risk, personalize treatment plans, and advance precision medicine efforts.
Is RSV a genetic disease?
RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) is not a genetic disease. It is a common respiratory infection that affects people of all ages, particularly young children and older adults. RSV is caused by a virus, not by genetic factors.
What is the likelihood of an individual who possesses an allele for a disease but does not have the disease developing symptoms in the future?
The likelihood of an individual who carries an allele for a disease but does not currently have the disease developing symptoms in the future depends on various factors such as the specific disease, genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices. It is important for individuals with a family history of genetic diseases to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized risk assessment and management.
Is Treatment of genetic disease the same as genetic treatment of disease?
no but as I see it treatment of genetic disease is treating a genetic problem as a genetic treatment of a disease is using genetics to stop a certain disease that can be treated with genetics
Is chickenpox genetic?
Chickenpox is an infectious disease, not a genetic disease
What are the characteristics of a genetic disease?
A genetic disease is a disease that was either passed onto you and/or your family is known to get that disease. An example of a genetic disease would be CF (Cystic Fibrosis). It occurs when a cell changes it's genetic information.
Is leprosy a genetic disease?
Known as Hansen's Disease, it is not genetic, but caused by an organism.
Is presymptomatic testing possible for detecting genetic disease?
Depends on the disease. With some, the genetic condition that causes the disease has been identified, and genetic testing can determine if you have the disease before symptoms appear.
Is degenerative disease inherited disease or genetic disease?
inherited
What are some genetic diseases?
one genetic disease is sickle cell disease. another is thallasemia.
What types of disease is cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease. A+ neuromuscular disease
Is Celiac disease a disease?
no it isn't it is genetic, you inherit it
Can a disease be genetic and not hereditary?
No.
When was Indian Genetic Disease Database created?
Indian Genetic Disease Database was created on 2010-10-30.
How do you get Aspergers the disease?
Asperger's is NOT a disease - it's a genetic thing.
