Isn't purple pee a sighn of a rare genetic disease called Acute Intermittent Porferiea?
Yes it is Purple pee is what happens when UV lights have been exposed causing it turn purple.
Is there any cure for of a genetic disease called Angelman's syndrome?
Angelman's syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by deletion on genes on chromosome 15 contributed by the mother to child, once you are born with it, the faulty gene has already done the damage. There is no cure for it.
Note: If their deletion of the same gene on chromosome 15 contributed by the father, it results in Prader Willi syndrome.
This combination XXY produces a male child with Klinefelter's Syndrome.
Are diseases inherited from the mother or father's side of the family?
Inherited or genetic diseases can be inherited from either side of a family. Some diseases tend to inherit through a mother, some through a father, and some from whichever parent carries the gene regardless of sex.
Is philadelphia chromosome passed down to children and grandchildren?
Yes, it can. This new chromosome, which is mostly chromosome 22 with a piece of chromosome 9 stuck to it. It is called the Philadelphia chromosome and can cause chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) as well as some cases of acute lymphocytic and myelogenous leukemia (ALL and AML).
What celebrities suffer from peutz-jeghers syndrome?
One well-known celebrity who has publicly discussed having Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is American talk show host, Montel Williams. He was diagnosed with the condition in 1999 and has been a vocal advocate for raising awareness about Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
What is the most common fatal genetic disease in the United states?

What sex would a person with trisomy X be - Explain?
Trisomy X aka "Triple X syndrome" is a disorder that affects females and is characterized by the presence of an additional X chromosome. Normally, females have two X chromosomes; however, females with trisomy X carry three X chromosomes in the nuclei of body cells. To be male requires a Y chomosome - which those with Trisomy X obviously lack.
Trisomy refers to having an extra chromosome - 3 (tri-) instead of 2.
Other types of gender related trisomy include:
XXY Trisomy (Klinefelter syndrome) where males have an extra X chromosome
XYY Trisomy (or simply XYY karotype) is where males have an extra Y chromosome.
What type of anemia is a genetic disease commonly found among people of African descent?

Which part of cell responsible for transmitting genetic disease?
This question doesn't exactly make sense, but I'll try to answer it.
The nucleus (or "brain of the cell") contains DNA.
DNA is where all genetic makeup is stored.
DNA contains chromosomes.
Each normal human being has 46 chromosomes.
Genetic diseases lie within these chromosomes, pinpointing where they are is the tricky part.
A lot genetic diseases have yet to be pinpointed and even when they are pinpointed, finding a cure can be almost impossible without the help of stem cell research.
Why can females but not males be carriers of sex linked genetic disorders?
Females have two X chromosomes, allowing them to be carriers of sex-linked genetic disorders on one X chromosome while having a normal allele on the other X chromosome. Males have only one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, so any genetic disorder on their single X chromosome will manifest as the disorder rather than being masked.
intersexuality, is the term for those with genital anomalies that many prefer to the term hermaphrodite or she male. This is a condition that does really exist however the slant that is put on it in the p*rn pages is definitely a lot of non sense. Have a read of the link below (Intersexuality) for more balanced information.
IT depends if both parents have it on their genes (X and Y) as Dominant or Recessive, If one of them is dominant, you better expect to get it unless the other parent has a DOminant Counter-Gene
What genetic diseases could mimic fibromyalgia and include seizures?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has many symptoms in common with Fibromyalgia and should be excluded prior to a Fibromyalgia diagnosis. Seizures are also much more common in those with MS than int he general population.
How do you stop the pain of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Hypermobile type?
You'll get a different answer to this question from everyone you ask. Pain Management is a complex field in medicine, using techniques and drugs from a variety of disciplines.
First, though, it is really important to be in a regular program of exercise and myofascial treatment. You may accomplish this through physical therapy, massage, chiropractic, exercise classes, personal training, etc. Your myofascial therapist (PT, massage, chiropractic) will help reduce any subluxations/dislocations that occur, identify muscles that need to be strengthened to stabilize your joints, and provide heat therapy, ultrasound therapy, cryotherapy, electric stimulation, or other methods to reduce pain.
Second, a specialist in pain management can help manage your overall treatment plan, particularly with medications, injection therapies, and other new treatment modalities. Prolotherapy is fairly commonly recommended in pain management circles for hypermobile joints; I had a really bad experience with prolo, but there are many others who have been helped significantly by it. Expect a pain management specialist to require you to sign a contract before receiving a prescription for any narcotic pain medications. Also expect a pain management specialist to recommend medications from anti-depressant and anti-convulsant families, as these can work directly on the nervous system to change your perceptions of chronic pain.
In all honesty, nothing will ever stop the chronic pain that results from joint hypermobility related to EDS. I'm currently on an amazing regimen that takes my baseline chronic pain level from an everyday 6 out of 10 to about 2 out of 10. In the last couple months, I have even experienced times when I've felt no pain at all. The acute subluxations/strains/sprains/whatever still hurt, and at the same levels as before, but it's a lot easier to live with these now than it was before.
I also recommend spending time on diaphragmatic-breathing and relaxation methods (especially relaxation CDs/MP3s), because these are things you can do for yourself when things are really bad.
Don't give up hope. You will grieve, and you will be angry, and you will be frustrated. You will tick off the people around you. You will be ticked off with your own body. But you are not alone, and there are ways to feel better. I promise.
That is one of the MOST personal decisions that there is- and there is no one answer for it.
Venereal disease is an old term for the now more commonly used term 'STD', or Sexually Transmitted Disease, 'VD' as it was known covers a range of diseases passed from one person to another through sexual or promiscuous activity.
Can you have a genetic disease if the name of the disease is the same as mine?
Right. About. Here, is where I would give you a very witty answer.. this question had me pondering..
Describe what genes are and explain what makes a disease genetic?
genes are what make up your DNA. each gene has two alleles, and whether those alleles are dominant or recessive determines what trait you get. Every trait has at least on gene coding for it, and some have more. a disease is genetic when there is a gene coding for it, as opposed to just a mutation or something environmental causing it.
What genetic disease was in Queen Victoria's family?
There are two genetic diseases that were (and are) in Queen Victoria's family. The first one was porphryia which is an autoimmune disease, which was passed on through the Hanoverian line historians believe thanks to Margaret Tudor (the daughter of Henry VIII)
The other genetic disease that was in Queen Victoria's family was hemophilia which prevents blood from clotting.
It is known that Queen Victoria was a carrier of hemophilia and passed it on to three of her children and at least 6 of her grandchildren and many grandchildren, but it is impossible that she could have carried the gene for both Hemophilia and porphryia (the chance of it happening is the same as the population of the world when she was born.)
30 because the spore is already haploid, and the spermatozoids and egg meet up to make a 60 zygote
Traits that are produced by the interaction of several genes are said to be?
These are polygenic (which literally means "several genes").
Who are some famous people with Williams syndrome?
Gabrielle Marion-Rivard, a Canadian actress, has this disorder. She starred in the film "Gabrielle," and won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Actress in 2014. There have been no other famous people in Hollywood who have openly admitted to a diagnosis of Williams syndrome, which is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by an absence of 26 genes from chromosome 7. Some debilitating characteristics of Williams Syndrome include developmental delay, cardiovascular problems, and an "elfin" facial appearance. The syndrome was first identified in 1961 by New Zealander J.C.P. Williams.
How can mutation affect the mRNA?
Mutations not only change the DNA, but a change to the DNA will change the mRNA. This explains why a mutation in one generation can be passed on to the next generation.
