Is cystic fibrosis a viral disease?
No. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease.
Is addison's disease a genetic?
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.
What are the genetic mutations of celiac disease?
Celiac disease is a very contagous disease and can be fatal it i caused by many things - tommyFarnum unfortunatly tommy is wrong, celiac disease is not contageous! a likley cause is a genetic mutation due to either environmental toxins or hergayeditory links.
Autosomal dominant genetic disorder?
An autosomal genetic disorder is Huntington's disease.
Is chrons disease genetic?
There is some correlation between Crohn's disease and genetic but so far there is no definitive answer. Family history often shows others in the family of a patient have had some form of bowel disease. There is a great chance of a child of a Crohn's patient developing the disease later in life but the disease seems to be able to skip generations.
What would not be considered a genetic trait?
''A disease caused by explosure to chemicals''
Kawasaki disease is contagious?
Kawasaki disease is not considered contagious. It is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic predisposition and exposure to certain environmental triggers, but it is not passed from person to person like a common cold or flu.
What increases genetic drift?
Mutations. Exposure to radiation, certain chemicals, and viral infections all increase mutation rates.
Is prostate cancer environmental or genetic?
Prostate cancer is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Genetic predispositions, such as mutations in specific genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2, can increase an individual's risk. Additionally, environmental factors, including diet, lifestyle, and exposure to certain chemicals, also play a significant role in the development of prostate cancer. Ultimately, it is the interaction between these genetic and environmental elements that contributes to the disease.
What can cause a mutation when the cell copies its DNA?
Mutations can be caused by errors during DNA replication, exposure to mutagens (such as UV radiation or chemicals), or spontaneous changes in the DNA sequence. These changes can alter the genetic information carried by the DNA, potentially leading to genetic variations or diseases.
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.
Are mutations in genetic material random?
Yes, mutations in genetic material are generally considered to be random events that can occur spontaneously or be caused by external factors like radiation or chemicals.
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.
What disease cause by mutagen?
Mutagens are agents that cause changes in the DNA sequence, potentially leading to various diseases, most notably cancer. For instance, exposure to certain chemicals, radiation, or biological agents can induce mutations that disrupt normal cell function and lead to uncontrolled cell growth. Other genetic disorders, such as some types of inherited syndromes, can also be linked to mutagenic events. Overall, the relationship between mutagens and disease underscores the importance of environmental and genetic factors in health.
