Chromosomal crossover

Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia is a hematopoietic proliferative disorder associated with a specific defect in the gene (Ciesla 2007, pp. 189). The gene defect is caused due to the translocation of the genetic material between chromosome 9 and chromosome 22 (t9: 22). The translocation prompts to the development of a hybrid gene BCR-ALB in the Philadelphia chromosome, or Ph1. Therefore, this fusion gene mutation affects the maturation and differentiation of the haematopoietic cells

Down syndrome Down syndrome is a genetic disorder also known as trisomy 21, that develops when there is an extra chromosome inside the cells of a person. Normally a person has 46 chromosomes so when a developing infant has an extra chromosome 21 they will have 47 chromosomes in a cell causing them to develop Down syndrome. Although you might think it is hereditary Down syndrome is not passed down from parent to baby nor do we know why it happens, it occurs at conception and there is no cure for

I have decided to do Down Syndrome as my disease, because I have always been interested in this disease, and how kids end up with it on birth. Also people with down syndrome don’t take their life for granted, and they can be so happy sometimes. Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder where a person gets an extra 21 chromosome instead of just one. Down syndrome has a very extinct feature on a person, the face is slanted a little bit and they have low muscle tone.(https://www.ndss.org/about-down-syndrome/down-syndrome/)

Down-Syndrome Do you ever see other people and wonder why they act and look so differently? Their is a genetic disorder by the name of Down-Syndrome. Down-Syndrome is a condition in which a person has 47 chromosomes while others have 46. People with this disorder may have the facial features of flat face, small nose, upward slant eyes, enlarged tongue and may appear shorter than others. Down-Syndrome has nothing to do with race, nationality, religion or anything the father or mother did during pregnacy

By Jonas Wilson, Ing. Med. Intussusception Intussusception is a medical emergency and is a condition that is as a result of one part of the intestine sliding into another. This sliding is similar to how a telescope folds into itself and the intestinal prolapse results in obstruction. Thus food and/ or fluid cannot move through the abnormal intestinal segment. In addition to these, the blood supply to the prolapsed area is also affected. Intussusception can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal

Cells are the basis for human life. During conception, a sperm cell joins a fertile egg to begin the process of procreation. Contained in the nucleus of these cells are a threadlike structure made up of acids and proteins called chromosomes which carry genetic information. Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes in each cell for a total of 46 chromosomes (Wiseman et al., 2009). When a sperm cell with 23 chromosomes and an egg with 23 chromosomes unite, they begin to form a fetus with appropriate

scientific community, more and more information has been gathered about the condition that affects about one in every one thousand children born around the world. (4). Research shows that Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by certain chromosomal abnormalities. Chromosomes within cells are composed of

allele is the phenotype. Some alleles are dominate and some are recessive, the dominate gene always gets past on. A genetic disorder is a disease or condition caused by an absent or detective gene or a chromosomal aberration such as Down syndrome. - Reference Down syndrome (trisomy 21) is a chromosomal abnormality - change in the number of chromosomes, which lead to physical or mental abnormalities - caused by an error in cell division that is a result of having an extra 21st chromosome. 95% of the

Local Parent Commits Suicide: Cry of the Cat The death of a New South Wales army veteran has been ruled a suicide by J. B. Abernathy, the NSW State Coroner. 29 year old Aya Fajardo, of Coolabah, N.S.W., was discovered dead in her apartment on Brewarrina Road after a 911 caller reported her missing Wednesday morning. Fajardo was separated from her husband of two and a half years, John Fajardo, and is survived by her daughter Ella. Aya’s sister-in-law, Jane, reported her missing when Aya didn’t

Down’s syndrome is a common chromosomal disorder effecting the physical and cognitive development of a person. An individual with Down’s syndrome typically has numerous health ailments, which require intense medical care and create great medical costs. A person with Down’s syndrome requires special schools and invasive therapies, which can also be costly. Many believe people with Down’s syndrome do not live a fulfilled life, compared to a typical person because many cannot live independently or be
