PCH=Tay Sachs
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.
Tay-Sachs disease is a genetic disorder that is more prevalent among Ashkenazi Jews due to a higher carrier rate of the gene mutation responsible for the condition. This increased frequency is attributed to historical population bottlenecks and founder effects within the Ashkenazi community. As a result, genetic screening for Tay-Sachs is often recommended for individuals of Ashkenazi descent, especially when considering family planning, to identify carriers and reduce the risk of having affected children.
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
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.
Chickenpox is an infectious disease, not 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.
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.
DNA carries the genetic code.
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.
Tay-Sachs disease does not have a significant gender preference; it affects males and females equally. However, it is more prevalent in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, as well as in certain other ethnic groups. The condition is caused by a genetic mutation, and both genders can be carriers. Therefore, the incidence is largely influenced by genetic factors rather than gender.
Known as Hansen's Disease, it is not genetic, but caused by an organism.
