Tay Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive trait. ?

---

Tay Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive trait. Parents who do not have tay sachs produce a child who has tay sachs. What is the genotype of the parent?
please help
has to be Tt for each parent, and by chance (25%) they both give a little t to produce a tt individual, causing the disease.  (+ info)

autosomal recessive disorder genetics problem?

---

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder. A male whose brother has the disease has children with a female whose sister has the disease. It is not known if either the male or the female is a carrier. If the male and female have one child, what is the probability that the child will have cystic fibrosis. My book says the answer is 1/9, how could that be possible? I keep getting 1/16
Each parent has a 2/3 chance of being a carrier (1/3 chance of being normal, 2/3 chance of carrier, and they obviously don't have cf). Then there is a 1/4 chance of an affected child if they are both carriers... so 1/4 x 2/3 x 2/3 = 4/36 = 1/9.

hope this helps!  (+ info)

Does any one have Ectodermal Dysplasia?

---

It is a genetic disorder that affects hair, teeth, nails and your ability to sweat. My sisters, mother, son and I all have it.

Anyone need someone to talk to?

I may not have all the answers but it helps to know there is someone else out there in the same boat.
Thanks Micael E; however to clarify, I am speaking of a genetic disorder not a cancer...there is no cure for this disorder...yet. It is caused by a genteic mutation or passed on through the x chromosome.
Hi
My daughter was born with this condition and I had never deen or heard of it before. She is now 6 yrs. old. Not only does she have absence of hair, eye lashes, eye brows ect., nails are deformed, teeth missing enamel and pointy, hearing loss, gluacoma, and immune deficiant, but she is now faced with reaccurrent lung problems. We think this is due to the immune problem but the docs are wanting to place a tracheostomy. The problem we are facing now is we are not sure how the skin is going to react to the foreign object and if it will heal correctly around the tube. Would you know any body facing this problem? I guess I could post this question :)  (+ info)

Still studying the genetic link to angelman's syndrome. From the research I have done, and who knows how much information on the internet is correct but I believe it is a sex-linked gene.  (+ info)

Urgent: Who first discovered Ectodermal Dysplasia?

---

Um, can u give me some detailed answers this is for a presentation? And also, i need some web sources or you need to tell me where you got it from. Thank you!
OK yes obviously it was by thurman, then Charles Darwin, the this weech character. but I really need to know what these guy's first names are and i need it now! not to be impolite but i need this done!
The ectodermal dysplasias (EDs) comprise a large, heterogeneous group of inherited disorders that are defined by primary defects in the development of 2 or more tissues derived from embryonic ectoderm. The tissues primarily involved are the skin, hair, nails, eccrine glands, and teeth. Although Thurman published the first report of a patient with ED in 1848, the term ectodermal dysplasia was not coined until 1929 by Weech.  (+ info)

is it possible to develop autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease at 14-16 y/o?

---

my friend was wondering. i mean like, not develop but just start getting symptoms of it then and if u can what is the chances of survival and what kind of treatment is there?
Yes it is possible. PKD runs in my family. All 4 of my Uncles, my Aunt, 7 cousins and my brother have it. My Mom also had it and she died a year ago from complications of dialysis. I am 25 and have been tested and luckily I do not show signs as of yet.

There is no cure for this disease but there are treatment options. When end stage renal disease occurs your options are dialysis or transplantation. You can live a long life with this disease. My Mom was diagnosed in her early twenties, her kidneys did not go into renal failure until her early forties and then she lived until 56. My Uncles are in their 60's and 70's.

If your friend is worried about getting this disease then I would strongly encourage him/her to go to their doctor. Their doctor should be able to set up a consultation with a nephrologist to answer any questions.  (+ info)

How to get autosomal recessive and dominant illnesses?

---

I'm doing a project on EDS( ehler-danlos syndrome). One part tells me to state how to get it. EDS has many types and the 2 types are autosomal recessive and dominant. What does that mean? How do you get a non-sex gene? Also if some1 can tell me what part of the gene is corrupt, that would be great also.

10 PTS GUARUNTEED TO BEST ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well obviously i would have looked it up. I need some one to explain it better than that. Thnx for the answer thou
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehlers-Danlos_syndrome

try that i hope it helps  (+ info)
