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 [...]
Get the answer of: When is Prenatal Diagnosis Done ? Prenatal diagnosis by amniocentesis is useful for prevention of birth of genetically abnormal children. Families having repeated abortions and/or congenital malformations (defects from birth) are likely to be carriers of a genetic anomaly ("high risk" families). The genetic counsellor can estimate the probability or chance for a future child in [...]
