- What genes are involved in Gaucher disease? Is the sequence of the gene known? Is genetic testing recommended for Gaucher disease? Give typing answer with explanation and conclusionarrow_forwardhi, can I please get help on a case study on nueroanatomy I have been struggling for a couple of hours now and can't seem to understand the study to answer the following questions. is there any way or format that i can get help. I would really appreciate it. thanks! 1. Based on the information in the case, what is the most likely neuroanatomic location for a single lesion that can explain all of the patient’s symptoms and signs? In your own words, explain how you arrived at that localization. 2.What are some possibilities for the nature of the lesion (e.g., stroke, tumor, trauma, etc.)? In your own words, explain your rationale for these options. 3. How does the laboratory data and neuroimaging demonstrate the actual lesion for the patient? Describe how you interpret the data in your own words. 4.How was the patient was treated, and how did they subsequently fare? Describe the treatment plan in your own words.arrow_forwardExplain the multi hit approach to colorectal cancer regarding the pathways CIN chromosomal instability (CIN), microsatellite instability (MSI). explain step by step. what genes are involved.arrow_forward
