Chromosomes do that part.
Mutation
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
Messenger RNA carries genetic information in a cell. It takes it from the DNA out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm.
NO, it is not genetic, Although the disease is hell and if you have it, like I do, I feel very sorry for you and please take care of yourself and be sure to carry information on your disease because it is rare that Emergency rooms know anything about this rare disease.
No, genetic research has shown that Ashkenazi Jews have had minimal genetic input from Europeans and are virtually identical to Middle Eastern Jews and other semitic groups.
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
Chickenpox is an infectious disease, not a genetic disease
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.
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.
DNA carries the genetic code.
Down syndrome is a genetic abnormality and would be called a genetic disorder; however, complications associated with Down syndrome can increase the risk of a number of diseases, such as congenital heart disease. To give another example, cancer is a disease, but in some it may stem from a genetic disorder.
Tay-Sachs disease is more common in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, regardless of gender. However, within this population, it affects both males and females equally. The disease's prevalence is linked to specific genetic mutations rather than gender itself. Overall, there is no significant gender bias in the incidence of Tay-Sachs disease.
A vector is an organism that carries disease-causing genes into a host cell, allowing the genes to be incorporated into the host's genome. This process often occurs in genetic engineering and gene therapy techniques.
Known as Hansen's Disease, it is not genetic, but caused by an organism.
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.
Around 1 in 10,000 people are estimated to develop Huntington's disease, a rare genetic disorder. It is caused by a mutation in the HTT gene on chromosome 4.
