What is the heterozygote of an autosomal recessive condition called? Who can be a carrier of autosomal disorders? Is hemophilia a hereditary disease? What genetic mutation causes Klinefelter syndrome? What genetic mutation causes Crohn's disease?
In very rare cases, hemophilia can be acquired, meaning that it develops during a person’s lifetime, rather than due to a genetic mutation that’s present at birth. In these instances, the disease arises due to a malfunction of the immune system that causes it to wrongly target and ...
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 ...
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is an acquired genetic mutation that causes bone marrow failure, hemolysis, and blood clot formation (thrombosis) Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, a condition that occurs primarily in children, where a type of autoantibodies develop due to certain infections or cancers, ...
The gene mutation in this condition is extremely rare. Parents who have never had a child with HGPS may have a 1 in 20 million chance of having one. However, for parents who already had a child with HGPS, their risk of having another child with the condition increases at 2-3 percent...

What type of pathogen caused the Black Death, and how is it transmitted to humans? What is germ cell mutation? What is the association of infectious mono with heterophile antibodies? What is the vector of Chagas' disease? How is the disease transmitted?
This disease is triggered by a single gene mutation that can cause heart disease, muscle abnormalities, and other problems. The syndrome usually leads to death in childhood. The study showed that CRISPR can correct the cells in several organs of the mice before birth. The treatment also slowed...
While hemophilia is generally thought to be an inherited disease, there is a small number of people in the population who get it through random genetic mutation; if you or someone in your family have the symptoms, it is worth being tested even if there are no known carriers in the family...
