These mosquitos have a genetic mutation that causes their female offspring to have deformed reproductive organs and mouths. As a result, the female offspring of engineered mosquitos can neither bite to spread malaria nor lay eggs to reproduce. ...
Achondroplasia is a hereditary condition that results in the restricted growth of long bones due to theossificationof cartilage. This ultimately leads to very short limbs and a face that is small in size in comparison to the skull. Achondroplasia mainly occurs due to the mutation in the FGFR3 ...
Hemophilia B results from insufficient amounts of clotting factor 9. Like hemophilia A, it’s a genetic disorder, with about one-third of cases caused by a spontaneous mutation. People with hemophilia B bleed for longer periods of time than people who don’t have the disorder. Bleeding can ...
If a man with hemophilia marries a woman who is a carrier, there is a possibility of having a daughter with hemophilia, but this is rare. Up to one third of the people with hemophilia have no family members who have the condition or who are carriers. In these cases, a mutation (a ...
