Karyotype

ovary disease, Down syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome or pseudohypoparathyroidism. The following lab test may be indicated to rule out any genetic or hormonal causes: fasting lipid panel, thyroid function, serum leptin, adrenal function, possibly karyotype, growth hormone secretion and function, assessment of reproductive hormones, serum calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone levels (Schwarz,…

Giving distressing news is a common occurrence in medical settings. Patients and families are often faced with worrying medical diagnoses and treatment possibilities, and it is typically the health care provider’s duty to provide individuals with this information. An example of distressing news would be a prenatal or postnatal diagnosis of Down syndrome to new or expecting parents. While physicians often feel adequately equipped to make this diagnosis and provide management options, they…

I will be discussing the four theories of Juvenile Delinquency. First one will be classical theory which is a criminological perspective indicating that people have free will to choose either criminal or conventional behavior. Second one is Biological theory is when behavior is predetermined and is constitutionally or genetically based. Psychological theory is the crime result from inappropriately conditioned behavior or from dysfunctional mental process. The last theory is Sociological, group…

One very rare syndrome that affects girls and women is Turner Syndrome. Turner syndrome also known as Ullrich-Turner syndrome, gonadal digenesis, and 45,X, is a chromosomal condition that happens to girls and women. It caused because there is either a complete or partial absence of the second sex chromosome. It is known to occur when all or part of the X chromosome is lost before or soon after the time of conception. Humans have 46 chromosomes containing all of a person’s genes and DNA and they…

(University of Utah). These are most commonly found in babies, and stay with these persons through their lifetime. The diagnosis for Down’s syndrome can be found quickly and easily either during pregnancy or shortly after birth. One option is using Karyotypes which are images of the person’s chromosomes to check for Trisomy 21, or that extra copy of chromosome 21. Other options include screening tests known as Triple Screen and Alpha Feto-Protein Plus to measure and detect various substances…

In Hordeum bulbosum technique the H. bulbosum chromosomes are eliminated during embryo development from a hybrid zygote (Barclay, 1975). In this system, the Crossability with wheat is constrained by the presence of incompatible genes (Kr1 and Kr2 ) situated on the 5A and 5B of wheat chromosomes that markedly reduce the crossability between wheat and H. bulbosum (Falk and Kasha 1981).for this reason, at present, the method using Hordeum bulbosum is restricted to crossable wheat genotypes.…

Stem cell research is one of the most controversial subjects to face the world since abortion, yet stem cell research could be the key to unlocking a cure to the deadliest diseases affecting mankind. While stem cells have vast promise for both medical issues and for future approaches such as slowing down aging, scientists are still in the beginning chapter of the stem cell revolution. Stem cell research and the use of stem cells in therapy is a complex multi-step process that requires scientists…

Leukemia does not show obvious symptoms early on, however it shows certain unusual symptoms which need further diagnoses. Leukemia detection test involves many diagnostic methods such as blood test, bone marrow test, cytogenetic analysis, immunophenotyping, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), immunoglobulin test, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and G-banding karyotyping. The evaluation of these this diagnostic test takes place in the laboratory to determine the treatment plan for the…

“Intersex is a group of conditions where there is a discrepancy between the external genitals and the internal genitals (the testes and ovaries)” (Kaneshiro, 2) Intersexuallity is a essence of being born with a mixture of both male and female biological characteristics, which are caused by an error in the sex chromosomes. Since both sides are present, it is very difficult for physicians to deal with issues involving the assignment of a specific sex or any consultations revolving around the issue…

‘With an estimated 425,416 individuals living with it, Dementia is the second leading cause of death of Australians contributing to 5.4% of all deaths in males and 10.6% of all deaths in females each year.’ (Dementia Australia, 2018) Genetic testing is a fundamental phenomenon in 21st century society. Testing processes reveal the likelihood of an individual inheriting, passing on, or living with a suspected genetic condition. These medical tests identify any changes in proteins, chromosomes or…
