What genetic mutation causes alpha thalassemia? How does trisomy 21 cause Down syndrome? What chromosome has the genetic mutation for bipolar disorder? What genetic mutation causes Crohn's disease? What type of genetic disorder is neurofibromatosis?
The therapy applied to the brains of healthy mice decreased the production of alpha-synuclein, a protein whose toxic buildup triggers nerve cell loss in Parkinson’s disease. In Europe, another CRISPR Therapeutics study has focused on a blood disorder known as beta-thalassemia, which results in...
What are epigenetic marks, and what is their significance? A mouse line has the \alpha -fetoprotein gene knocked out. What effect would you expect this have on the animals? Describe the genetic abnormalities that produce sickle cell anemia and thalassemia. ...

What is Sarcoidosis? Sarcoidosis is a disorder that is characterized by the growth of tiny collections of inflammatory cells known as granulomas in parts of the body. The most commonly affected parts are the lungs and lymph nodes. But it can also affect the other parts of the body, such as...
CRISPR technology has the ability to facilitate a breakthrough in our understanding of the more common and complex human diseases, including rheumatic diseases The potential of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in the development of new treatment strategies is confidently expected to have a major effect on the ...
G4s are also involved in some neurological diseases, such as alpha-thalassemia or X-linked intellectual disability syndrome, in which they are positively or negatively involved in a cascade of gene expression regulation [12,13,14]. G4s are also involved in DNA replication pathways [15,16] and...
Alpha thalassemia deletions found in suspected cases of beta thalassemia major in Pakistani population One adult patient having an unknown peak of 15.2% in the 1st minute (RT = 0.39 minutes) was diagnosed as HbH disease [Fig-3c]. A study of haemoglobinopathies and haemoglobin variants using hig...
