Here is a link discussing this condition. The simple answer is only in severe cases can the lifespan of the affected person be shortened.

Hemophilia is actually the lacking of specific proteins in the blood. The liver normally produces these proteins (called clotting factors) but in people with hemophilia it does not function normally, either not producing or produces non funtioning versions of one or more of these clotting factor proteins

I believe it can, because my mama (God rest her soul) had it, and I kinda have it n' my granny has it..

A live herpes virus, as it naturally occurs, has to be attenuated somehow to produce a safe vaccine so that it doesn't induce an undesireable active infection with outbreaks. The virus is genetically modified so that it will produce the desired immune response in the patient, while not causing problems. It is desirable that the virus remains latent in the patient to produce a continuing supply of antibodies while not producing active outbreaks, obviously. There is work ongoing relating to such live virus vaccines for herpes, but it will be several years, assuming any of them are successful, before any will be available.

Personally i think it is neither right nor wrong because your saving a childs life but then again your messing with nature which isnt right. Some people tink its wrong because the human population needs narrowing down and cos your messing with nature

Although the exact cause of MS is still unknown, multiple sclerosis isn't considered a hereditary disease in the traditional sense.

HIV is Human immunodeficiency virus it is an RNA virus which attacks the CD4 cell of Humans and use the genetic materials of the to make copies of itslf thus weakening the immune system of the infected person. AIDs is the disease manifestation of HIV when the immune system has been weakened and the body is susceptible to attack for otherwise harmless organisms (opportunistic infections). It is characterized by a myriad of diffectent infections and refereed to as syndrome. Symptoms of HIV include lymphadenopathy, fever, wt loss, weakness etc AIDS- cryptococcal meningitis, oral oseophageal thrush, pneumocystic carinii, karposi sarcoma, severe weight loss, fever of unknown etiology, toxoplasmosis. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It is a sexually transmitted disease, which means it is transmitted through contact between mucus membranes (mouth, genitals) or mixing body fluids (semen, blood). It is the virus that causes AIDS by attacking a certain type of cell in the immune system, weakening and debilitating it. AIDS is the sickness that follows infection with the virus, and it stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. With a weakened immune system, HIV will become AIDS, and the patient has a severely weakened immune system and becomes unable to fight off even the smallest of infections - a cold could be fatal. Currently, there are many drug therapies available to greatly prolong and improve the lives of those with HIV and AIDS. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

hi my name is ken i want to know about klinefelter syndrome disease progession so i can do my power point in my class. oh yeah tell me easy answer because i am only 15 year old THANKS MAN As far as I'm aware, it doesn't "progress" as such as it's not a disease but a genetic condition. If you're that interested, look it up on Wikipedia. :)

If it is a mild form then most live to a conventional length. If it is severe then most die at a young age early in life

When you get sick, you will start caughing or sneezing, then it disrupt homeostasis

It is not very likely that this Syndrome will be passed down because about 1 in every 500 to 800 males inherits this allele.

It is not possible for it to be passed down from parents because it is not a trait or a gene it is just a disorder that happens when the DNA is being copied or if there is some sort of damage done to the DNA but no it canot be passed down from one generation to another.

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic condition that affects many parts of the body. Infants with PWS have severe hypotonia (low muscle tone), feeding difficulties, and slow growth. ... Rarely, a genetic change responsible for PWS can be inherited.

Williams Syndrome affects around 20,000 to 30,000 people which is roughly 1 in 10,000 in the world. It has positive aspects such as musical ability, a high level of sociability and high IQ levels however it also has very negative aspects such as the high risk of coronary disease, some learning disabilities and digestive disruptions.

Republicans are either no more or no less in denial over anything than Democrats are. The only issue is which issue it is and what points of view are being adopted. It is unfair to characterize either political party as being in denial. And it is illogical. There are no "pat answers" to the issues these parties debate and dispute. There are only points of view. The questions we grapple with as a society are not easy ones to answer, and a complex society divides itself over complex issues. No thinking person would expect any 21st century panorama to be painted in black and white.

Anemia is a broad disorder that literally translates as 'no blood'. In medical practice, anemia is a condition in which there are insufficient normal red blood cells to provide oxygen to the body tissues.

Anemia can be caused by a wide variety of things: large volume blood loss, infection, cancer and toxins can all result in various types of anemia.

There are also genetic causes of anemia. Two commonly discussed genetic anemias are sickle cell anemia and hemophilia-related anemia. Sickle cell anemia developed in Africa, where malaria parasites are common. A heterozygous individual has about 15% abnormal red blood cells that are crescent-shaped and don't transport oxygen well. Hemophilia was traced to a point mutation in the English royal line in the Middle Ages, which then spread throughout Europe via marriage among the royal houses. Hemophilia actually results in blood that does not clot properly, which can result in anemia due to chronic blood loss through hemorrhages.

I got this from google. The first person was Jonathan Hutchin.

I'm guessing you meant sickle cell anemia. You already said that it's recessive, which means that both parents have to be carriers for it to be passed on to their children. If both parents carry the gene, then there is a 1 in 4 chance of having an affected offspring, 2 in 4 chances of having offsprings which carry the disease, and 1 in 4 of the child being unaffected (check out how to draw a punnet square). If one parent is a carrier and the other one is healthy, then you have a 50% chance of having an offspring who carries the disease, but none of your offsprings will be affected. Hope this helps

Well you don't "get" it like you get a common cold. You are born with it due to a genetic mutation on your sex chromosomes causing the XXY gene instead of XY, like in a non-Klinefelter, male.

5' end (nucleotides are added from 3' toward 5')

1. (1) Produced by an abnormality in, or a mutation of the genetic code in a single gene; (2) Caused by several abnormal genes (Producing so-called polygenic diseases); or (3) Caused by the abnormal presence or absence of an entire chromosome or by alteration in the structure of chromosomes.

I'd assume because it has a lot of cells suitable for DNA extraction. I don't really know, we've always used strawberries because if the high amount of seeds in a small space.
