Treacher Collins Syndrome was first documented on paper and named after by Edward Treacher Collins in the 1900s’ in Europe. Collins died in 1932 at the age of 70. Collins work was later brought up by Adolphe Franceschetti and David Klein who came across the same conditions but classified and named it as mandibulofacial dysostosis. This was discovered before Collins had written about it by Thomson and Toynbee in 1846-1847 and later by Berry (1889). TCS is defined as an inherited condition in which

From the evidence that I collected during the geniverse experiment, I can support Tamora’s claim that each baby drake receives half of its genetic information from the father and the other half from its mother. The first piece of evidence that I had was during the third case, specifically involving meiosis. Meiosis is a special type of cell division which results in four gametes that have half the genes that the parent has. In the meiosis we were able to see that each parent contributed three chromosomes

Turner syndrome (TS) is a disability that only affects females. The condition occurs when a female has one x chromosome instead of the usual two chromosomes. Most sufferers of Turner syndrome grow to be shorter than most children on their age group and most only have life expectancy of up to 50 years while some tragically pass away as young as 13 years old.. Although plenty of information on Turner syndrome in known, researchers and scientists are still trying to figure out exactly which genes in

this essay is Down Syndrome. First, it is a genetic cause of intellectual disabilities and is “A chromosomal anomaly that often causes moderate to severe mental retardation.” (Heward, 2013, pg. 137) Secondly, there are many risk factors involved with Down Syndrome which include inadequate care during prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal stages. Lastly, children with Down Syndrome are still very special people and deserve to be treated equally. To best accommodate a child with Down Syndrome, it is

General Information Affecting 1 in every 4-8 million people worldwide, Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome is a rare and fatal genetic condition characterized by the appearance of rapid aging in children. It affects both sexes and all races equally. It is caused by a mutation in the gene called LMNA, which produces the lamin A protein, a structural scaffold that holds the nucleus of a cell together. The abnormal form of the lamin A is called progerin, and it causes the nucleus to be unstable. Progeria

Retinoblastoma, Pediatric Retinoblastoma is a type of eye cancer that affects young children. Retinoblastoma starts in the light-sensitive lining in the back of your child's eyeball (retina). Retinoblastoma results when something goes wrong with eye development in the womb or early in life. Instead of developing into specialized eye cells (retinoblasts), the cells grow out of control and form a tumor (retinoblastoma). Retinoblastoma may occur in one or both eyes. It is usually diagnosed before

There are many possibilities that can happen during the nine months that make a child. During those 9 months in the womb, there can be changes in the process of creating the baby. Usually the chance of having a baby with a disorder is about one in several thousands or millions. These disorders are illnesses caused by changes in a person's DNA. Genetic disorders make people unique from others. Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a rare disorder that not many people get. Before birth, there is

Of Mice and Men Lennie old Lennie the great old Lennie. Lennie wants to own a rabbit farm. But there are some of Lennie traits that I believe will make it a little bit of a struggle for Lennie. The traits that will hurt Lennie the most are he does not like to talk, he is mentally challenged, childish and playful, also he is very strong. These traits will harm Lennie in the long run because rabbits are small creatures and could be harmed if he is too rough. Lennie will be hurt in his dream of

smaller defects are hard to come across. Symptoms for babies include poor eating, failure to thrive, fast breathing or breathlessness, not gaining weight and becoming easily tired. Adult symptoms include shortness of breath when you exert yourself or lie down, rapid or irregular heartbeat, and fatigue or weakness. All these symptoms depend on the size and the hole of the defect, and also if other heart defects are

The history behind Klinefelter Syndrome. When described more than 40 years ago, Klinefelter Syndrome was thought to be an endocrine disorder. A second testicular postulated hormone that never has been isolated. Over the years the syndrome has been found to be a chromosomal Disorder. In which there is a extra X chromosome in 80% in the patients. The disorder occurs in every 500 to 1000 male births and the best way to diagnose it is by a buccal smear.
