An example of a SGD transmitted in the autosomal dominant fashion is Marfan syndrome (MFS; OMIM 154700), a disorder of the connective tissue (Ramirez et al., 2018). This disorder was first described by French pediatrician Antoine Marfan in 1896 in a five-and-a-half-year-old girl named Ga...
After 60 years of intense fundamental research into T cell-mediated cytotoxicity, we have gained a detailed knowledge of the cells involved, specific recognition mechanisms and post-recognition perforin–granzyme-based and FAS-based molecular mechanisms. What could not be anticipated at the outset was...
Genetic disease is at least partially caused internally, and the disease-causing enemy is literally one's own genetic material in every cell of the body. As a result, the self concept of a person with a genetic disorder may be intrinsically bound with the view of the disorder (Kessler, ...
Give an example of a disease-resistant variety of cultivated plant that has been produced by mutation. Mutation: When a DNA gene is destroyed or altered in such a way that the genetic message carried by that gene is altered, this is referred to as a mutat...

Miklowitz: I would say this, it is a combination of genetic, biological, and social. It certainly runs in families. People inherit a predisposition to bipolar disorder. They don't necessarily have bipolar people in their family that they can identify, but often there's somebody in the family...
Genetic disorders can occur in a variety of ways. Most commonly, they are the result of altered DNA sequence: a change in the genetic "blueprint," which can be as small as a single nucleotide change: changing one base for another, i.e changing an A for a G, for example.This can ca...
Taiwan's judicial body Wednesday ruled that the current laws that request "marriage between a man and a woman" must be amended, or a new law passed within two years to protect the rights of same-sex couples. Cooperation grows between China, B&R countries China's southern city of Shenzhen ...
the generation mechanism of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is mainly determined by the cell type. For example,endothelial cells,podocytes, andmesangial cellsuse glucose to produce ATP. Renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs), critical to metabolite reabsorption, account for 90 % of the renal cortex ...
