  • Cystic Fibrosis Defective Gene
    1,182 words
    According to old northern European folklore, a child that tasted salty when kissed upon the forehead was bewitched and would soon die. Today we know the reason -the genetic disease, cystic fibrosis or CF. It is a chronic, progressive disease and the most common, fatal inherited disorder in the United States. About 30, 000 Americans suffer from cystic fibrosis, and 2500 babies are born in the U. S. with the disease each year. While all races and ethnic groups may suffer from the disease, it occur...

    WHAT IS CYSTIC FIBROSIS AND WHO DOES IT AFFECT: Every year, 1, 000 children with cystic fibrosis are born in the United States. 1 in 3, 000 Caucasian babies have the disorder, making Cystic Fibrosis one of the most common lethal genetic diseases in Caucasians. Overall, there are 30, 000 Americans with Cystic Fibrosis, and an estimated 8 million people carry one copy of the defective gene that causes the disease. These carriers do not have symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis, because a person must inheri...

    Muscular Dystrophy Scientists have been struggling with the cause, treatment of, and cure for Muscular dystrophy since its discovery in 1886, by Dr. Guillaume Duchenne. Muscular dystrophy is a hereditary disease, affecting thousands of people every year, two-thirds being children between the age of birth through adolescents. However, Muscular dystrophy can occur with no family history of the disease. Muscular dystrophy is a degenerating disease, in which the skeletal muscles degenerate, lose the...

  • Natural Selection And Diseases
    1,383 words
    Cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs, and hypertension are three very different, yet deadly diseases. The question arises how these diseases have survived for so long. Three articles attempt to uncover the mystery behind these diseases. It has been found that there were benefits to each of these diseases, which allowed the allele to remain in the community for such a long period of time. Natural selection plays a large part in the success of these conditions. First, cystic fibrosis has been found to be pr...

  • Factor Ix Clotting Factor
    1,179 words
    Introduction Hemophilia is a rare genetic blood clotting disorder that primarily affects males. People living with hemophilia do not have enough of, or are missing, one of the blood clotting proteins naturally found in blood. Two of the most common forms of hemophilia are A and B. In persons with hemophilia A (also called classic hemophilia), clotting factor VIII is not present in sufficient amounts or is absent. In persons with hemophilia B (also called Christmas disease), clotting factor IX is...

    Vampires have been seen and documented throughout history. The history of vampires goes further back in time than most people realize. The chaldeans, who lived near the Euphrates river in the southwestern part of Asia more than five hundred years before the time of Christ, feared vampire or creatures similar to vampires enough so that they created charms to protect themselves from being attacked by such creatures. The Assyrians and the Babylonians feared a creature similar to a vampire known as ...

  • Clone A Human Zona Pellucid
    2,092 words
    The idea that humans might someday be cloned has started sounding less like a science fiction novel and more like a genuine scientific possibility. On February 23, 1997, The Observer broke the news that Ian Wilmut, a Scottish scientist, and his college at the Roslin Institute were about to announce the successful cloning of a sheep by a new technique which had never been successfully used before in mammals. This technique involved transplanting the genetic material of an adult sheep, obtained fr...

    Clowns or Clones Cloning is a word heard of only recently within the last 2 or 3 years. Cloning is said to have proved useful in perfecting genetics among animals as well as humans. While human cloning is still a little ways off, animal cloning has already begun. Dolly the sheep was the first to be cloned and then it went on to pigs. Perhaps as we go down this line, we may someday work our way to cloning humans. Human cloning would only be a real benefit to our health and could only lead to a pr...

  • Color Blindness Defective Gene
    981 words
    Color Blindness Genetic disorders result from heritable abnormalities in the genetic makeup of a human. Disorders are often apparent at birth; however, others may develop during childhood or adult life. Some genetic disorders may result from a mutation in a single gene, which results in the absence or alteration of the protein that corresponds. Such an alteration disrupts some metabolic or developmental process, leading to a disease. Color blindness is an example of a disorder that can be inheri...

    Hemophilia is the best known of hemorrhagic disorders. When a person has hemophilia, the blood does not clot properly and bleeding persists. The people who have hemophilia are called hemophiliacs or bleeders. Bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, result from a disruption of the bodys process of how blood clots are formed. The coagulation process involve platelets as well as plasma proteins called clotting factors. Clotting begins when platelets stick to the site of an injury to a blood vessel....
