Variations in our DNA and differences in how that DNA functions (alone or in combinations), alongside the environment (which encompasses lifestyle), contribute to disease processes. This review explores the genetic basis of human disease, including single gene disorders, chromosomal imbalances, ...
THE GENETIC BASIS OF HUMAN DISEASEThe Biochemistry Across the School Curriculum Group (BASC) was set up by the Biochemical Society in 1985. Its membership includes education professionals as well as Society members with an interest in school science education. BASC has produced this series of ...
SARS-CoV-2 infections display tremendous interindividual variability, ranging from asymptomatic infections to life-threatening disease. Inborn errors of, and autoantibodies directed against, type I interferons (IFNs) account for about 20% of critical COV
Non-major histocompatibility complex genes, most notably the IL-1 gene complex, have been identified and novel technologies promise that a more thorough examination of the rest of the genome will soon elucidate the genetic basis of this disease. 展开 关键词:...
The aetiology of both forms has not been entirely elucidated however, marked progress has been made recently in understanding the immunopathogenesis and genetic susceptibility of these diseases. Through the study of patients and mouse models, it seems that disease occurs as the consequence of a dysreg...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex disorder with a clear genetic component. Three genes have been identified as the cause of early onset familial AD (EOAD). The most common form of the disease, late onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), is, however, a sporadic one presenting itself in ...
The Identification of the Genetic Material The history of biology is filled with incidents in which research on one specific topic has contributed richly to another,apparentlyunrelated area. Such a case is the work of Frederick Griffith, an English physician whose attempts to prevent the disease pne...

families—because the vast majority of affected individuals would carry an ancestral segment (or haplotype) around the locus. With a sufficiently dense genetic map, the ancestral haplotype should stand out by virtue of being “associated” with the disease—that is, overrepresented in disease cases....
a the discovery that the basis of sickle-cell disease was in a single mutation in the genetic code for one of the haemoglobin genes, opened up a molecular approach to the development of drugs to treat this and similar diseases of genetic origin 发现镰刀细胞疾病的依据在一个唯一变化在...
