However, due to genotype and phenotype variability, lack of knowledge about individual gene variations and their interplay, as well as an individual patient journey, the investigation of RD requires a more customized approach. This is also reflected in the defination of personalised medicine by the ...
Firstly, macronutrients are those environmental substances used by an organism in large amounts to supply energy, bodily function and growth. These micronutrients include carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. The effect of these macronutrients to people with Diabetes actually ...
What are the treatments for Scleroderma? What is gene therapy? How can it be used to treat some inherited diseases? Provide an example. a. What are the physiologic implications of the Pompe disease? b. What is abnormal about the physiology of people with this disease? (a) What is osteoch...
In genetic testing, a blood test is carried out to check for the presence of the SMN1 gene (survival motor neuron 1 gene). The physician may also perform the following tests to diagnose SMA Physical examination: To look for signs of SMA. Electromyography: This involves the insertion of thin...

You hear a lot more about having iron-poor blood than you do about iron overload (or hemochromatosis), which can develop in people who inherit a gene that causes the body to absorb too much iron. This potentially fatal condition threatens a surprisingly large number of people -- 1 in ...
The family connection of the remaining p.F113L patients was not found due to lack of archive data. The other six Fabry patients presented respectively the following GLA gene variants: p.C94S; p.M96V; p.G183V; p.E203X; p.M290I; and p.R356Q/p.G360R (Table I). Lysosomal ...
Where iron studies reveal raised SF and TS, the next recommended test is HFE genotyping for p.Cys282Tyr and p.His63Asp [10]. If the individual has biallelic variants in this gene, a diagnosis of iron overload due to HH can be made. Various investigations are then recommended to assess ...
