An individual carries a disease-causing point mutation. Briefly describe four methods that can be used to identify this mutation.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy describe the function of the gene and gene product as well as the phenotype (clinical picture). Explain how mutations in the gene and protein could contribute to the observed phenotype. Discuss the protein structures associated with the condition. How is it helpful in understanding gene’s function and in possible explaining of the pathology.

- I need help because i don't get it. Can you help me to explain to me, please?arrow_forwardAchondroplasia is a form of dwarfism in humans. It is caused by a mutant allele of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene ( FGFR3) that produces an overactive protein. Having one copy of the mutant allele results in dwarfism. Two copies of the mutant allele results in death before birth. If a man with Achondroplasia marries a woman who is Sickle Cell Anemia carrier and they have a child together, what is the probability that their child will Achondroplasia AND be a Sickle Cell Anemia carrier? ½ 2/3 ¼ 1 ½ 1/16arrow_forwardwhat is the diagnosis of Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) and explain the genetic mechanism involved. *do not plagiarized*arrow_forward

- What is the frequency of sickle cell disease (anemia)? https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/sickle-cell-disease#inheritance https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/sicklecell/traits.htmlarrow_forwardHereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. This excess iron is stored in the body's tissues and organs, particularly the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, and joints. Because humans cannot increase the excretion of iron, excess iron can overload and eventually damage tissues and organs. Anthony and Melinda met at a support group for individuals who have hereditary hemochromatosis. They were advised by their genetic counselor that it would be risky to have children, since both of them are homozygous for the same recessive allele that causes this condition. Nevertheless, they decided to have a child together. During Melinda’s pregnancy, amniocentesis and genetic testing were performed, and it was confirmed the fetus was homozygous for the hereditary hemochromatosis allele. At birth, the baby appeared completely normal, and as the child continued to grow and mature, the couple were surprised that he seemed…arrow_forwardBriefly outline how the Philadelphia chromosome leads to chronic myelogenous leukemia.arrow_forward
