Genetic Diseases

No, Klinefelter is due to an extra chromosome, Fragile X is due to the FMR1 gene being turned off and producing no FMR1 protein

No; this is a common misconception. Anyone whose parents are both carriers of the gene for Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) may become afflicted with TSD. That being said, TSD is most common among the Ashkenazi Jewish population as approximately 1 in every 27 Ashkenazi Jewish people is a carrier of the faulty gene. In the general population, about 1 in every 300 people carries the gene for TSD. In the French-Canadian population, the Cajun population of Louisiana, and the Amish population of Pennsylvania, the faulty gene that causes TSD is a little bit more common (but still less common than in the Ashkenazi Jewish population).

No, it is caused by extra repetitions of a CAG (cytosine-adenine-guanine) codon repeat stretch within the Huntingtin gene.

if you were born and your mother or father had William syndrome, you can inherit the syndrome or disease.

All people with Klinefelter's syndrome are male because by definition Klinefelter's syndrome is due to a genotype of XXY. The fetus will develop into a male if there are any Ys present at the sex chromosome.

46,XXY or XXY for males; see the link below.

yes. can you think of anything wrong with it? it makes food healthier.

Dengue fever and some other dengue like viral fevers are increasing every year and this year incidence of these fevers are too high especially in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, India.

Upon searching on google one would get detail information regarding Dengue fever thus here only some most important things, which common person should do to avoid mosquito borne diseases and prevention of viral disease occurring monsoon and winter season, management of such disease, and homeopathic treatment of dengue fever and other similar viral fevers occurring in monsoon and winter season given.

Prevention Of Mosquito Borne Disease:

1. Search out for collection of water in your home after rains and remove all things that can collect rainwater. Make a team of few people to do same things homes around your home. This search should be done at least twice monthly and should be started April or after each rainy days. This task is hard though must to be remain free from dengue and other mosquito born disease. Expecting these things from government are not good idea though some government has made rule to punish those home is favorable for mosquito breeding.

2. Inspect your cooler for water collection and larvae development. If possible do not use cooler as one cannot able to check it frequently.

3. Doors opening outside should have additional net-protected door which should close automatically i.e. net-protected door should remain close all the time to avoid any entry of mosquitos and flies. Mosquitos enters mainly in evening so at this time they doors and windows should be closed.

4. One should use mosquito sprays i.e. Mortin gold to kill mosquitos.

5. Camphor (Kapoor) should be placed in corners of house. Kapoor tends to vaporize on room temperature and mosquito do not like its smell and go away from there.

6. Mosquito protecting creams should be used if there are lots of mosquitos around.

7. Should sleep in mosquito-net especially when there is no electricity or fan running.

This seems to be of use.

Klinefelter's syndrome is a chromosomal disorder.

That question is moot, because homosexuality cannot be from a completely genetic cause. In studies done on identical twins, only half of the other twins of gay men were homosexual. If homosexuality were completely genetic, then all of the twins would have been homosexual.

Besides, genetic predispositions are not protected in the Constitution.

According to recent studies, Morgellons Disease may be linked to genetically modified food. Soy allergies may also be triggered by GM food.

Many inter-abdominal things cause umbilical pain, one of them being appendicitis. A doctor should be able to fully examine you and tell you exactly what's wrong.

I believe this refers to Cri du chat syndrome (characterized by a crying noise that sounds like a meowing cat). It is caused by a deletion of portions of the "p" arm of the 5th chromosome.

Third cousin should be fine.

yes, because you may share some part of gene pools. there may be genes that carry genetic diseases or anomalies which often appear in the children that are born to you even though you may seem normal. these may be inherited through your common ancestors. Therefore avoid cousin marraiges as far as posssible!

Certainly. Even first cousins can marry in about half the US jurisdictions and in many other countries. No place forbids marriage between third cousins.

I have discovered, in treating my son's infliction of Idiopathic Scoliosis. Scoliosis is caused by tension, from a tight tendon. When I started my treatment on my son Matt, after a year of 18 to 20 hours daily in a brace. And physical therapy 3 times a week. His angle had increased from 60 degrees, to an increase of 7 to 67 degrees in that time. When I started working with Matt. He stood crooked, walked crooked and drug one leg. I had an X-ray taken, and a cob angle measurement done. Matt's angle is now less than 50 degrees, without surgery. He no longer has a low shoulder, walks with no problem. And runs with perfect form. I have started a web site, to spread my discovery. Scoliosisprevention.us

I know I am right, by the improvements I was able to get with my son. No one should ever have spinal fusion for Idiopathic Scoliosis it would have to put the back into so much more tension. Doctors now see an angle needing correction, not tension needing to be removed. I just cannot understand, how people highly trained in cause and effect theories. Would be doing what they are doing.

In the United States approximately 1 in 500 to 1 in 1000 male live births are affected with the syndrome. See the link. (my endrocronologist - who has been in practice 35+ years has never seen another klinefleters patient and we live in Boston. Many people who have it - that never desire children may never be diagnosed. therefore I think the number is closer to the one in a 1000

One such illness is Huntington's Disease- a disease of the central nervous system, that usually begins to shows symptoms between ages 30-50.

sequential genetic disorder

Biotechnology is a branch of science, it is not a thing which can be found or lost. So this question is not properly framed.

Two genetic diseases besides Down syndrome are cystic fibrosis, which affects the lungs and digestive system, and Huntington's disease, which is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects motor function and cognitive abilities.

Impulsive behavior, and especially impulsive violence predisposition has been correlated to a low brain serotonin turnover rate, indicated by a low concentration of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). Possible polymorphisms in the gene for tryptophan hydroxylase, which is responsible for the production of hydroxytryptophan, the precursor of serotonin. Within violent subjects, a significant relationship was observed between CSF 5-HIAA concentration and specific polymorphism genotypes. The phenotypes associated with these genotypes are extreme and it is hypothesized that these polymorphisms may only be significantly correlated to impulsive behavior
