Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a rare single gene disorder affecting 1 in 3,500 boys. The muscles of the affected person weaken and waste away (atrophy), usually beginning in the lower limbs and then spreading to the upper body as the disease progresses (1). This disorder is caused by recessive mutations in a gene called dystrophin. The dystrophin gene is located on the X chromosome (Xp21.2). Because the X-linked disorder is recessive it occurs mostly in males because males who inherit the…

In 1984 the language that is used is called Newspeak. According to Syme, who works to “create” newspeak, it consists of the deletion of words not the creation of them. This is the exact opposite of what occurs in modern day society. We create new words in order to expand the range of thought. Newspeak is the exact opposite. The goal is to delete words in order to simplify the language. This changes the effect of words on the population. Newspeak has a large effect on the populous. This is…

of Auditory Evoked Brain Potentials in diagnosis of hyperacusis and phonophobia in a case with Williams Syndrome. Introduction: Williams Syndrome (WS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with a hemizygous deletion on chromosome (7)(1), . It is caused by the submicroscopic deletion of 1.5 to 1.8 Mb on chromosome 7q11.23(2), including the general transcription factor ill gene which encodes TFII-I which suppresses cell-surface accumulation of transient receptor potential(3). WS is…

chromosome 15 from each parent. Some genes are active only on the copy that is inherited from a person's father, the paternal copy. Genomic imprinting causes this parent specific gene activation. The maternal SNRPN is methylated and not transcribed. The deletion of the paternal allele, which occurs in 70% of cases (this occurs when a segment of the paternal chromosome 15 is deleted in each cell), or maternal uniparental disomy (UPD), which occurs in 25% of cases, leads to loss of expression of…

Interface file is found in computers having Windows 7 Home Premium installed. One of the prime causes of errors pertaining to the file is the attack of virus and malware. Other reasons for such issues encompass corrupt windows registry, accidental deletion of the files, and incomplete installation of the operating system. The problems occur while system start-up, running a program or a function. Fixing the errors is very much like the resolving of the .dll issues. Why download dll files? There…

Growth Hormone (somatropin) is not covered for situations such as idiopathic short stature where there is no clinical evidence of a growth hormone deficiency.” Discussion of Findings: The patient is an approximately 13 year old male with 22q11 deletion. He “passed” one and “failed” one provocative…

D1 - Discuss how potential errors in the design and construction of a database can be avoided. Accidental deletion of fields When a database is being used you might find it easy to accidently delete data which could mean a lot of stress if it is something which is very valuable. One main way to avoid this would be to make sure that back-ups are made of the data, so whatever the matter the data will not be completely lost. Back-ups can be stored on anything like a memory stick or an external…

Have you ever heard of Wolf -Hirschhorn syndrome? Odds are you haven’t, considering that only around 1 out of 50,000 children have it. This rare condition may seem like it is unimportant and small, but people who have it may suffer from Delayed growth, Seizures, Intellectual disability, and Muscle weakness. Since there is no cure this drastically affects the person until the end of their life. During pregnancy while undergoing routine checkups in the first trimester a doctor can diagnose…

and the Autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The syndromes that falls into the PHTS categories includes, Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS), Cowden syndrome (CS), and PTEN-Related Proteus syndrome (PS). BRRS is a genetic condition resulted by a deletion or mutation of the PTEN gene. However more than 60% of all cases of BBRS are due to the mutation of the PTEN gene. BRRS can be detected in early childhood, the characteristic feature of this syndrome includes macrocephaly, noncancerous…

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a one type of muscular dystrophy. Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders, leading to progressive muscle degeneration. People suffering from most common muscular dystrophies ,Duchenne/Becker (DMD), Myotonic (MMD), and Limb-Girdle (LGMD), experience muscles degradation overtime, leading to overall muscle weakness and decreased mobility. Statistics show that the most prevalent forms of muscular dystrophy are rare. For example in 2007 in the…
