Deletion

microarrays and, most recently, NGS. With the expanding utilization of NGS in PGD, both single gene disorder and chromosomal testing can be performed on the same sequencing stage without the requirement for the pre-test workup of single gene. Micro deletion syndromes or common pathologic copy number variations can be in the near future distinguished by utilizing NGS. In addition, more sequence information can be created rapidly from embryos with the new developments in sequencing technology and…

To understand better the cycle of a cancer and a normal cell, we can start looking on this graph below: As we can see, a cell spends most of the the time on interphase during cell cycle. Interphase is divided in 3 parts, which are G1, S phase and G2. G1- cell grows S phase- cell synthesizes DNA G2- cell prepares to divide During G1 both normal and cancer cells grow, but in a cancer cell the cell just keeps growing ignoring the signals that tell them to stop. In S phase, or…

and radiographic correlation helps avoid these potential pitfalls. ( 41 ) MR IMAGING ARTIFACTS: They are defined as either any signal or void in the images that does not have an anatomic basis, or as the result of distortion, addition or deletion of information. ( 42 ) Depending on their origin, one can classify them into the following groups : ( 43 ) 1- Truncation artifacts : Truncation or Gibbs artifacts are bright or dark lines that are seen parallel to edges…

FISH is a test that emits the wavelengths of different color of light rays using fluorescent molecules to study the chromosomes. FISH can be used analyze the various stages of leukemia. Rearrangements of MYC, TCF3 (E2At), MLL and IGH, deletion of CDKN2A (P16), fusion of ETV6-RUNX1 and BCR_ABLI, and hyperdiploidy can be determined using the FISH test7. In Fish test, 83 percent of the interphase cells show rearrangement for a positive stain for the gene BCR_ABLI p20 which means myeloid…

user friendly, providing bullet point information, not a lot of medical jargon, and short and simple explanations for each tab clicked on. Medscape uses a lot of technical phrases and jargon, such as, “Karyotypic analysis revealed constitutional deletions within the short arm of 1 copy of chromosome 11.” (Paulino, 2016) and “BWS is an overgrowth syndrome characterized by visceromegaly, macroglossia, and hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia” (Paulino, 2016). The website is full of technical phrase such…

Note to workings (Prime cost (direct costs) – To max 3 marks): Direct costs are cost objects that are directly attributable to the finished product, these can be direct materials, direct labour and direct expenses related to the production of the finished product. Prime cost is the total of all direct costs (material, labour and expenses). Quantity x price rate = total E.g. for machining department ‘Carom’: 450 x 12 = 5,400 1,200 x 8 = 9,600 2,230+5,400+9,600=17,230 Total prime cost for…

Under normal physiological conditions, the function of the colon and the rectum is responsible for the very last phase of digestion. Water is absorbed from the digested material (mostly liquid at this point) by the colon to form stool. Subsequently, the dehydrated stool then moves into the rectum for storage until signals are sent for its expulsion from the anus (Silverthorn, 2012). When carcinomas occur in either the colon or the rectum, they are collectively labeled as colorectal cancer.…

How to make my PC faster For increased productivity, it is imperative to ensure that the PC or the personal computer runs faster. Faster PC not only adds to the productivity of the company or enterprise but also boosts the efficiency of the individuals working with it. There are a number of ways by which you can expect to make your PC fast. Some of which are mentioned below. Check available disk space in your system To make a personal computer run fast, it is essential to check the space…

Glenn Greenwald wrote an article, titled, “The Sunday Times' Snowden Story is Journalism at its Worst — and Filled with Falsehoods”, and he talked about how Western journalists, specifically U.S. and U.K. journalists, fabricated evidence to create articles so that they could publish stories to prove that Snowden was a villain. Although reputable sites publish them, they should be taken with taken with a grain of salt since create stories out of nothing In his article, he convinces the reader…

1) Which genome engineering mechanism they used to create transgenic ES (Embryonic stem cell)? What is the goal of this transgenesis? Answer: They chose to mutate Sos1 because it showed more expression in tissues and cell lines than Sos2. After they tested which Sos gene had more expression, they moved on to mutating Sos1 in murine ES cells using homologous integration of a lacZ-neor cassette. This cassette was placed in front of the Sos1 coding sequence. The goal was to integrate this cassette…
