No, Parkinson's disease is not caused by a mutation on chromosome 6. The exact cause of Parkinson's disease is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some rare forms of Parkinson's disease are linked to specific gene mutations, but these are not located on chromosome 6.
The allele that is responsible of Fabry Disorder/Disease is located on the X chromosome and is the only lipid storage disorder identified as being sex linked.
Tay-Sachs disease is caused by mutations in the HEXA gene located on chromosome 15. These mutations result in the absence or deficiency of the enzyme hexosaminidase A, leading to the accumulation of harmful substances in the brain and nervous system.
Menkes disease results from abnormal utilization of copper, leading to a copper deficiency that affects various body functions. In contrast, Wilson's disease results from abnormal utilization of copper, causing a buildup of copper in the body, particularly in the liver and brain, which can lead to various symptoms and complications.
Wilson's disease is caused by a mutation in the ATP7B gene, which is located on chromosome 13. This gene encodes a copper-transporting enzyme involved in copper metabolism. Mutations in this gene lead to impaired copper transport and accumulation of copper in various tissues, causing the symptoms of Wilson's disease.
Menkes disease was first described by the pediatrician John Menkes in 1962. He noticed a distinct set of symptoms in a group of patients, which later led to the identification of the genetic disorder now known as Menkes disease.
Gaucher's disease is located on chromosome 1, which is not the sex chromosome, so no. It is not a sex linked disease.
No, nobody that has been famous had this particular disease
It is a mutated gene called PKD1 located on chromosome 16.

Chromosome numbers: 1, 14, 19, and 21 are affected by Alzheimer's disease.
my son has the disease, if you would like to know more about it email me at huntermommy08@hotmail.com

Suzy Menkes's birth name is Suzy Peta Menkes.
Tay-Sachs disease is caused by mutations in the HEXA gene located on chromosome 15. These mutations result in the absence or deficiency of the enzyme hexosaminidase A, leading to the accumulation of harmful substances in the brain and nervous system.
Chromosome 4
Menkes disease results from abnormal utilization of copper, leading to a copper deficiency that affects various body functions. In contrast, Wilson's disease results from abnormal utilization of copper, causing a buildup of copper in the body, particularly in the liver and brain, which can lead to various symptoms and complications.
