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.


Sickle cell anemia and some nerve and brain disorders are examples of which of these?

Sickle cell anemia and some nerve and brain disorders are examples of inherited diseases. These inherited diseases pass from parent to child via chromosomal exchange.


How are noninfectious diseases caused?

Noninfectious diseases are caused by factors such as genetics, lifestyle choices (e.g. diet, exercise, smoking), environmental factors (e.g. pollution, radiation), and aging. These diseases develop over time and are not spread from person to person like infectious diseases. Examples of noninfectious diseases include heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.


Members of a population may be prone to inherited genetic diseases if?

Members of a population may be prone to inherited genetic diseases if they have parents who carry the genetic mutation responsible for the disease. Inherited genetic diseases are passed down through generations and can affect individuals who inherit the mutated gene from their parents.


How many diseases are detectable by genetic Screening?

Too Many Too Many The latest numbers and still rising is nearly 7000 genetic diseases have been recognized and mapped as to genetic causes. Source is the US Gov genetics site.

What are examples of infectious and non-infectious diseases?

Non-infectious disease is a disease that may be caused by either the environment, nutritional deficiencies or genetic inheritances. Some examples include; Environmental causes such as skin cancer from radiation (from the Sun), or lack of food (e.g. scurvy from lack of Vitamin C), genetic disorders, or any source other than an infection. They can also be caused by drugs and carcinogens (cancer-causing agents). Many diseases of affluence and mental disorders are non-infectious diseases. All genetic disorders are non-infectious. Other examples include: - Cardiovascular disease - Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - Hypertension - Diabetes mellitus type 2 - Down syndrome - Attention deficit disorder - Anorexia nervosa htp://www.womanmagz.com
