Marfan syndrome is a disorder of the connective tissue, which is meant to hold the body together and play a role as a framework for development and growth. This syndrome causes problems of organs and bones. Symptoms include arm lengths exceeding the height of the person, unusually flexible joints, irregular heart beating of extra of skipped beats, possible nearsightedness, this syndrome also can effect the nervous system.
This syndrome can affect people of all races and genders. About one in five thousand people in the United States have the disorder. There is a fifty percent chance of a child of a person with Marfan’s syndrome can inherit the disorder. About twenty five percent of cases are due to an instinctive mutation at the time of conceiving a child.
Adrease Armstead-6/7 Genetic Point Mutation has to do with a lot of thongs such as he hunter disease.Parents find out when their child has hunter disease when long chains of sugar is found as a molecule.It is caused by when a child is born it mostly 150,000 a year.This is also can effect your blood in bad way. You can die a bad way
Shawanda 8/9 Specific genetic mutations may account for nearly one-third of all bladder cancers. The bladder is an organ in the lower abdomen that stores urine after it is released from the kidneys until it is passed out of the body. Bladder cancer is the fifth most common type of cancer in the United States and causes approximately 13,000 deaths annually. Bladder cancer occurs predominantly in elderly men and less frequently in women and younger men.As knowledge regarding the practical application of genetics moves forward in the medical arena, the identification of specific genetic mutations that place an individual at a higher risk of a specific cancer may allow for appropriate screening.
Neurofibromatosis: Neurofibromatosis is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. It encompasses a set of distinct genetic disorders that cause tumors to grow along various types of nerves and, in addition, can affect the development of non-nervous tissues such as bones and skin. The tumors can grow anywhere on or in the body.
Judith Dye 3/4: New genetic mutation that halts the developement of Lupus is discovered. lupus effects 1.5 million Americans It is influenced by genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors, although genetic predisposition appears to be the single greatest contributor to its onset. A nonsense mutation nonsense mutation of the Coronin-1A gene (Coro1a) required for the development of the disease. A nonsense mutation causes the gene to produce proteins that no longer function. The Coronin-1A gene is a multifunctional regulator of the cytoskeleton, a network of protein fibers or filaments in the cell that helps maintain cell shape and is the key contributor to cell movement.
cerebral palsy is one of a number of genetic neurological disorders. It can appear in early infancy or early childhood.It is caused by abnormalities in parts of the brain that control muscle movements. It affects the body movement and muscle coordination permanently. This means that there isn't a cure for cerebral palsy, but children can get treatment to improve a child's capabilities. Many children go on to enjoy near-normal adult lives if their disabilities are properly managed. Treatment may include physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, drugs to control seizures, relax muscle spasms, and alleviate pain. The early signs of cerebral palsy usually appear before a child reaches 3 years of age. A small number of children have cerebral palsy as the result of brain damage in the first few months or years of life, brain infections such as bacterial meningitis or viral encephalitis, or head injury from a motor vehicle accident, a fall, or child abuse. Researchers are investigating the roles of mishaps early in brain development, including genetic defects, which are sometimes responsible for the brain malformations and abnormalities that result in cerebral palsy. To make sure children are getting the right kinds of therapies, studies are also being done that evaluate both experimental treatments and treatments already in use so that physicians and parents have valid information to help them choose the best therapy.
Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominent genetic disorder of the connective tissue charecterized by disporportionately long limbs long thin fingers, a typically tall stature, and a predisposition to cardiovascular abnormalities, specifically those affecting the heart valves and aorta. The disorder may also affect numerous other structures and organs including the lungs, eyes, dural sac surrounding the spinal cord, and hard palate. It is named after Antoine Marfan, the French pediatrician who first described it in 1899. I chose this specific genetic mutation because it seemed intersting as i read more into it.
Cancer may affect people at all ages, even fetuses, but risk for the more common varieties tends to increase with age. Cancer causes about 13% of all deaths. According to the American Cancer Society, 7.6 million people died from cancer in the world during 2007. Apart from humans, forms of cancer may affect other animals and plants.
