Non Mendelian Genetics Case Study

1. The Non-Mendelian genetics is a pattern of inheritance in which the traits do not segregate in the accordance of Mendel’s law. In Mendelian Genetics it is an inheritance of any given trait that can be passing from parent to their offspring, to allow inherited one gene of individual the parent must have two pairing genes.

Hemophilia (A and B) is a rare disease that experienced an abnormal bleeding within an internal or external in the human body due to lack of blood clotting factor VIII (Hemophilia A) and IX (Hemophilia B). It is genetically inherited disease or a mutation those two factors. An individual has a two pairing sex chromosome which is the X and Y, to determine whether the individual is a female (XX) or male (XY). The gene …show more content…

The causes of this disorder due to an autosomal recessive and a mutation in several genes involve the absence production of melanin. In some types of albinism, if each parent has one copy of defective gene there is a chance that each offspring will be an affected or a carrier. The signs and symptoms of Albinism are absence color (skin, hair, and eyes), lighter than a normal coloring (hair, skin and eyes), patches of skin that have an absence of pigment. The most common to diagnosed albinism by the used of genetic testing, it detects the defective gene that related in this disorder. Since the Albinism is no cure, treatment is for relieving the symptoms or preventing sun damage, they wear sunglasses with UV protection to protect their eyes from sun’s rays, protective clothing and sunscreen protection to protect skin from UV …show more content…

The sickle cell is an autosomal recessive means that if both parents has a form of a defective gene it can be pass to their offspring and there is a chance to be affected but if only one parent has a defective form of a gene the child will only a carrier. The signs and symptoms are anemia the red blood cells are not enough or dying, episodes of pain means that red blood vessels are blocked by shape-sickle cell it result to a pain in chest, abdomen, and joints or in bones and the sickle cell can damage the organ to fight other infections ,so it vulnerable to infections. The diagnosis is used blood testing, it detects the defective form of hemoglobin. The treatment is through Bone marrow or stem cell

    Albino Kittens Albinism is a surprisingly common birth defect in WAapnettik Inars kittens. It is a recessive gene and can only occur if both parents are carriers of the gene. Kittens born in the wild with albinism do not survive. The biggest reason these kittens do not survive in the wild is that they cannot camouflage themselves properly with an illusion. An albino Wapnettik Inar is not completely white like one might think, instead it is a pale pink with red marbling.

    Type 1, also known as NS1 and Male Turner syndrome, individuals are affected with most characteristics above. One added effect is the low number of blood platelets, which means blood clotting is very uncommon in these individuals. NS2 is closely related to NS1, except for the inheritance pattern. The last type of the condition is neurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome, but it is really just an overlap of neurofibromatosis and NS1, however, it is only a chance occurrence, because "these conditions have two distinct gene locations, with no apparent overlap" (Gale

  • Summary Of Genetic Turning Points By James Peterson

    In chapter seven of Genetic Turning Points by James Peterson, the topic of genetic counselors is discussed in terms of their role in the genetic testing process. In my ethical opinion, genetic counselors are a necessary component of the genetic testing process. Without them, ethical lines are more likely to be crossed as I believe more patients would undergo genetic testing without fully understanding what he/ she is giving their consent for and also receive unrequested results. Additionally, I believe that the absence of genetic counselors leads to patients being pressured into receiving tests he/she did not want or ask to take. , and receive unrequested results as well.

The doctor tested him three times because he was caught up in the stereotype of the disease. This is a big issue because people are creating a problem that can be prevented by been educated about the risk factors. It starts with doing more research figuring out the cause and effect of the disease.

    The medical model looks at a mental illness as a result of physical problems within the body such as genetic faults, a chemical imbalance, or abnormal brain structure. Which means it can be treated medically. For instance there is evidence from brain scans to show that people who live with anorexia have increased activity within the serotonin systems and higher levels of dopamine receptors within the brain (News.bbc.co.uk, 1999). The medical model is the most recognised, most supported and most used when it comes to mental illness.
