In this article we will discuss about the diagnosis of genetic diseases. The most common and most successful test methods for prenatal diagnosis is the examination of amnion cells. Amniotic fluid is extracted by way of a suprapubic amniocentesis. This is done by the penetration of the amnion sac above the symphysis with a hollow needle. The process is almost [...]
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 some common misconceptions and misinterpretations about genetic disorders. It is important to recognize that there are many potential misconceptions concerning genetic disorders and risks that need to be identified and rectified to ensure that families understand the information they are given and can use it appropriately.
