This lesson explored some well-known and important genetic disorders. First, we took a look at cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that occurs as a result of a mutation in the CFTR gene. Cystic fibrosis causes thick and viscous mucus buildup in many places, including the lungs and pancreas....
Genetic disorders include any of a variety of disorders caused by mutations, changes or errors in the genetic code. They can be simple errors at the gene level or can involve entire chromosomes. The extent of the disorder is wholly based on the gene(s) or chromosome(s) involved. What are...
Find information on Genetic Disorders. More than 30 medical conditions that come under the category of genetic disorders. Some of the Genetic Disorders Include Bardet-Biedl Syndrome, Cohen Syndrome or Pepper Syndrome or Cervenka Syndrome, Familial Medit
Both your parents need to pass the abnormal hemoglobin gene on to you for you to develop the disease. If both your parents carry the defective gene, you have a 1 in 4 chance of inheriting the disease and becoming sick with it. If a child is born with one defective hemoglobin-beta gene...

than 80 genes that are different in people with psoriasis. They think it takes more than one gene to cause the disease, and they're looking for the main ones. About 10 in every 100 people have genes that make them more likely to get psoriasis, but only two or three of them actually ...
This pan-cancer gene expression assay is designed to interrogate the tumor microenvironment to enable mechanistic studies and identification of predictive biomarkers. Oncomine Comprehensive Assay The Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus and Oncomine Comprehensive Assay v3 are members of the family of Oncomine as...
Cardiomyopathy refers to a group of myocardial diseases associated with structural changes of the heart muscles (myocardium) and impaired systolic and/or diastolic function, in the absence of other heart disorders.
and stress hormones. Multiomic factor and gene network analyses provided the underlying genomic structure. Single nucleus RNA sequencing in dorsolateral PFC revealed dysregulated (stress-related) signals in neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. Analyses of brain-blood intersections in >50,000 UK Biobank...
Many diseases and disorders of the nervous system suffer from a lack of adequate therapeutics to halt or slow disease progression, and to this day, no cure exists for any of the fatal neurodegenerative diseases. In part this is due to the incredible dive
