Impulsive behavior, and especially impulsive violence predisposition has been correlated to a low brain serotonin turnover rate, indicated by a low concentration of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). Possible polymorphisms in the gene for tryptophan hydroxylase, which is responsible for the production of hydroxytryptophan, the precursor of serotonin. Within violent subjects, a significant relationship was observed between CSF 5-HIAA concentration and specific polymorphism genotypes. The phenotypes associated with these genotypes are extreme and it is hypothesized that these polymorphisms may only be significantly correlated to impulsive behavior
What else can I help you with?
Does the Ashby family line have any genetic disorders or diseases?
yes, they may have the genetic diseases in their family.
What kind of diseases are the most common genetic diseases For example those in which both parents may be carriers of the disease without knowing it because they don't actually have the disease?

What is a genetic disorder?
A genetic disorder (or a hereditary disease/inherited disorder) is when a wrong gene or chromosomal aberration changes what your genome normally would be. For example: Down's Syndrome or Trisomy 21 which means that that person has 3 copies of chromosome 21 instead of the normal 2.
What are the importance of genetic engineering in medicine?
genetics plays a very important role in medicine. particularly in the discovery of certain rare diseases. as you may have observed, most of the rare and complicated diseases are genetic in origin. in line with this, genetics is also being used to diagnose certain diseases even before they manifest their signs and symptoms. a good example of this is newborn screening.
What adversely affects the mucociliary escalator?
Genetic diseases like PCD and CF and acquired diseases like COPD negatively impact the mucociliary escalator.
What types of diseases can be predicted with genetic tests?
Genetically inheriting diseases can be found. Other diseases are not genetic
Does the Ashby family line have any genetic disorders or diseases?
yes, they may have the genetic diseases in their family.
Where is the National Foundation for Jewish Genetic Diseases?
The National Foundation for Jewish Genetic Diseases is in New York, NY
Which disease doesn't cause infectious diseases?
Genetic diseases Autoimmune diseases Some parasitical diseases.
Are hereditary diseases and genetic diseases the same?
Yes, they are the same thing.
What kind of diseases of the most common genetic diseases?
recessive autosomal
A disorder caused partly or completely by a defect in genes?
There are dozens of diseases caused by a genetic defect. They are known as genetic diseases. Sickle Cell anemia, Hemophilia, Tay-Sachs, Huntingtons Disease- and many others are genetic diseases.
The focus of the Project is?
genetic diseases.
Is Heart diseases genetic?
yes
How does this project directly impact your understanding of genetic diseases?
This project has allowed me to gain hands-on experience in researching genetic diseases and analyzing genetic data, which has deepened my understanding of the underlying mechanisms of these diseases. By working closely with genetic data and studying how specific genetic variations contribute to disease development, I have gained valuable insights into the complexity and heterogeneity of genetic diseases. This firsthand experience has enhanced my ability to interpret genetic information and appreciate the challenges associated with diagnosing and treating genetic disorders.
What are genetic diseases caused by?
Genetic diseases are malfunctions in the chromosomes, genes, DNA, cell development or natural hereditary of mutated genes.
Is there any genetic diseases that we've cured yet?
Im not sure about cured but we know the genes that cause some genetic diseases such as huntingtons
