Let us make an in-depth study of the molecular genetic based approaches for the treatment of diseases. Principles of Molecular Genetic-Based Approaches to the Treatment of Diseases: Once a human disease gene has been characterized, molecular genetic tools can be used to dissect gene function and explore the biological processes involved in the normal and pathogenic states. The resulting information [...]
In this article we will discuss about the dizygotic twins and monozygotic twins. Twins can be either dizygotic (fraternal) or monozygotic (identical). Dizygotic twins are the result of two different ova fertilized by two different sperm. Monozygotic twins are the result of one ovum fertilized by one sperm that divides to form two embryos. In the past, the only way [...]
In this article we will discuss about the top two types of inherited diseases that are found in families. The diseases are: 1. Diabetes Mellitus 2. Muscular Dystrophies. Disease # 1. Diabetes Mellitus: This is a complex, heterogeneous condition which is frequently seen to recur in certain families. It is due to partial or complete lack of insulin which leads [...]
