What else can I help you with?
Autosomal dominant genetic disorder?
An autosomal genetic disorder is Huntington's disease.
What is a human genetic disorder caused by a dominant gene is?
One example is Huntington's Disease. Carried on a dominant gene, it causes deterioration of the central nervous system, affecting movement, swallowing, personality, etc.
Genetic mutation caused by the loss of a chromosomal segment?
Deletion
What is the deoxyribonucleic acid or the genetic material usually called?
Chromosomal Dna.
Most serious problem associated with the inversion of genetic material?
Chromosomal defects in offspring. Because no genetic material is lost with inversion of genetic material, individuals often have no obvious physical effects. The major risk with the inversion of genetic material is that offspring of these individuals may have more severe chromosomal abnormalities.
What category of genetic disorder is huntingtons disease?
Autosomal Dominant
How do you prevent huntingtons disease swag?
HD is a genetic disease, and currently cannot be prevented.
Genetic disease that becomes evident between the ages of 30 to 50 which affects the nervous system?
Huntingtons
Autosomal dominant genetic disorder?
An autosomal genetic disorder is Huntington's disease.
What causes huningtons disease?
Huntingtons disease is a genetic/inherited diesease. It is caused by a faulty allele (a dominant one), which can be inherited by parents. Spontanoius mutations may also occur which would cause the faulty gene and therefore huntingtons disorder.
How does genetic factors lead to ill-health?
by inherited disorder from both or one parent, such as diabetes, cystic fibrosis, parkinsons disease, huntingtons disease etc.
Is Parkinson's disease chromosomal abnormality?
No, Parkinson's disease is not primarily classified as a chromosomal abnormality. It is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons, primarily influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While certain genetic mutations associated with familial forms of Parkinson's do exist, the disease itself is not directly linked to chromosomal abnormalities like those seen in conditions such as Down syndrome.
Symptoms of huntingtons disease?
The symptoms of Huntingtons Disease are, mental deterioration and uncontrollable movements; symptoms usually appear in middle ages.
Can Huntingtons Disease be diagnosed after birth with a simple blood test?
Genetic testing can determine this (which is more involved than just a simple blood test).
How can you inherit huntingtons disease?
Huntington's is a genetic disease meaning that it is inherited to offspring of effected parents. If one of your biological parents have it you are at risk. I would ask my doctor for genetic testing to see if I had it.
What is huntingtons disorder?
Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It leads to various physical and mental symptoms, including involuntary movements, cognitive impairment, and psychiatric issues. There is currently no cure for Huntington's disease.
How can a person be screened for a genetic disorder such as Huntingtons disease?
By genetic testing. This involves laboratory testing on a small blood sample. It will normally be accompanied by family history tracking, and a physical examination, along with counseling.
