Genetic disorders

Genetic disorder, conceptual illustration.

Researchers from Iceland look at how parents' age and sex influences new genetic mutations in children that may lead to rare medical conditions.

👫 The similarity between progeria and elderly. 👫 Progeria is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder. Those born with progeria typically live to their mid-teens to early twenties. It is a genetic condition that occurs as a new mutation, and is rarely inherited, as carriers usually do not live to reproduce children. Comment if you know someone with progeria!

Researchers from the University of California in Berkeley have pinpointed two genes involved in the digestion of fat that may have been key to helping humans thrive in harsh environments.

This is an example of dominate and recessive genes. Dominate genes stay and recessive genes don't show up. Sometimes pairs of genes from mom and dad mix and create a disorder.

What is the difference between Autosomes and Sex Chromosomes? Autosomes determine the somatic characters of an individual; sex chromosomes determine the sex.

David Liu's team at the Broad Institute has achieved a major milestone in gene editing, creating a system that could treat a wide range of genetic disorders by inserting healthy genes directly into their native locations
