Werner Syndrome

Usher syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes its victims to get retnis pigmentosa (RP), or a disease that affects someone’s retinas resulting in tunnel vision, and hearing loss. The most common gene that becomes mutated is gene USH2A, this is a protein producing gene. It is a mutated recessive gene, meaning that in order to inherit Usher syndrome both parents have to be carriers of it. Once the child gets Usher syndrome, they will experience loss of eyesight and hearing.

As our cells divide and our DNA replicates, our telomeres provide a start and an end point for the enzyme DNA polymerase to attach to our chromosomes and replicate our DNA. By using a repeated, non-coding section of DNA as the starting point for this replication, the telomeres allow our cells to replicate without damaging important genes at the attachment point of the replicating enzyme. As this occurs though, our telomere begin to lose base pairs

features affecting several different parts of the body. There is a wide degree of variation between

Wolf-Hirsch horn syndrome impacts many features such as facial lucks like wide eyes, body is smaller then is supposed to be. This syndrome is made when you are born. People that have this disorder usually cant eat some foods because the foods can cause pane, and some times it can be so bad that a person can even die.

Usher syndrome (USH), an autosomal recessive disorder, is a major health concern in the developing countries and in the United States but no effective treatment of the disease has been reported yet. Of the three subtypes of usher syndrome, USH1 is the most severe form of the disease associated with pre-pubertal onset of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), vestibular dysfunction and congenital profound hearing loss1,4. USH2 is less severe than USH1 characterized with post-pubertal onset of RP, normal vestibular function and congenital moderate to severe deafness1,4. USH3 is the least severe form of the disease having later onset of RP, variable vestibular function and progressive hearing loss1,4. Among these three clinical subtypes, USH2 is the most

The Asherman’s syndrome, which is also known as intrauterine adhesions, is related to one of the most common surgical abortion procedures used by the society today- Dilation and curettage (D&C). “Dilation” refers to the opening of the cervix; “Curettage” refers to the process of clearing any remaining tissue on the uterus lining after an abortion by a surgical instrument called the curette.

Gilberts syndrome could be one of the diagnoses for patient L as it is caused by the incapability of the hepatocytes to take up bilirubin from the blood. This causes the level of unconjugated bilirubin level to accumulate whilst the conjugated bilirubin level remains within range. As a result, the total bilirubin level is increased. Another diagnosis was Crigler-Najjar Type I syndrome, which takes place when unconjugated bilirubin is retained by the body whilst conjugation is impaired. This causes an increase in the total bilirubin level, as shown by its parameter reading value

Usher syndrome is where a human losing hearing, some balance, and loss of vision. The genes are MY07A, USH1C, CDH23, PCDH15, and SANS. The chromosomes are 15 in which are haplotypes. Haplotypes is a group of genes within an organism that was inherited together from a single parent. The main symptoms of usher syndrome are hearing loss and an eye disorder call Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP.) Retinitis Pigmentosa causes night-blindness and loss of peripheral vision. Peripheral vision is where a person has side vision.

There are several enzymes that take part in the DNA replication process. They are Helicase, DNA Polymerase III and Primase. In helicase, this enzyme has several functions in helping make the replication fork so different functions are allowed to occur (Wolfe, 2016). Helicase unravels the double DNA helix to a single stranded template of Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine allowing these to be copied (Wolfe, 2016). DNA helicase during single strand separation from the helix also forms the replication fork (Wolfe, 2016). This in turns during the single strand of the nucleotides A, T, C, G still have match together for correct sequence

There are so many types of diseases and disorders in this world. Some can lead to a lifetime of pain and others can lead to mortality. Robinow syndrome is a disorder that affects few people. This rare disorder is inherited to the fetus by the parents. This disorder comes in dominant form and recessive form. In dominant form you inherit the gene from only one of the parents. In recessive form you inherit the gene from both parents. In the recessive form the syndrome comes from mutations in the ROR2 gene. In the dominant form the syndrome is caused by the mutations in the WNT5A or DVL1 gene. The genes affect the development of the patient in its first years. Robinow syndrome affects both male and females. They have

It’s my first time hearing visual hallucinations and I am surprised that 10% vision loss patients had these hallucinations. According to the video, fusiform gyrus is highly involved when images are formed. Teeth and eyes are represented in the anterior part of fusiform gyrus. According to the literatures, there is a region located primarily in the right lateral fusiform gyrus is activated specifically by faces [1]. Besides, researchers also stated that the posterior part of the fusiform gyrus is involved in the color perception [2]. I think that probably could explain why some of the Charles Bonnet Syndrome patients saw the cartoon and colorful objects. Moreover, researchers proved that the fusiform gyrus also involved in the word recognition.

Genomic imprinting- is the epigenetic system where ‘stamping’ of the genetic information occurs according to whether it is inherited from the mother or the father. This modification determines whether the information contained in the gene copy is expressed or not.

Griscelli syndrome is an extremely rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by pigmentary abnormalities in the skin and hair. The first case of Griscelli syndrome was described by Claude Griscelli, a professor of pediatric medicine, in a hospital in Paris, France in 1978. Griscelli syndrome has an unknown frequency, however, it is estimated to occur in less than one per million. Griscelli syndrome usually presents in early childhood, between the ages of four months and seven years, and will almost certainly result in death during early childhood, if left untreated (Cheng, 2015). The majority of Griscelli syndrome cases have been found to occur, for unspecified reasons, in the Turkish and Mediterranean populations and as of September,

upslanting eyes, high forehead, and ‘epicanthal,’ or skin folds along the person’s nasal borders of the space between the upper and lower eyelids of their eyes.

Primarily due to lack of knowledge or misinterpretation of the accommodation request is the reason disability and religious discrimination claims still exist (Malloy, Spencer, & Crane, 2017). I have a son who became disabled due to an asthma attack, which caused a rare disorder called Hopkins Syndrome. The disorder causes polio-like symptoms in which he has limited use of his left arm from the elbow to fingertips and no use of his right arm. During a recent meeting at his high school, the Computer Essentials instructor stated that he would not be able to meet the state-mandated requirements due to the limitations of using one hand. Upon informing her that by law, the institution is required to make reasonable accommodations to ensure that he
