Marginalization means “Boundary or Margin”, the people live beyond that boundary or lines are known as “Marginalised People”. In world, millions of people suffer through marginality. The marginalised people do not have proper control over their lives, their rights and the resources available to them. The people are marginalised on numerous factors, like mental illness, learning disorder, people from lower class and so on. In this topic, the description is about the people who are marginalised as…

Genetic testing is a medical test that examines DNA, identifying any changes in it. The results obtained can determine if a person has or can pass on a genetic disorder or confirm any suspected genetic condition. However, a positive result doesn’t guarantee you would develop a disease even if you are a healthy individual. In return, a negative result doesn’t guarantee you possess a specific disorder. There are different types of genetic testing like diagnostic testing and prenatal testing just…

What is Gene therapy? Gene therapy is the process of supplementing or replacing a gene in order to treat a medical condition. This type of therapy allows the body to make the protein that is not being made by the missing or malfunctioning gene. Introduction of new genes through vectors overrides the malfunctioning gene and contributes to normal functioning of the body. The process begins when the modified DNA is inserted into a virus vector. Then, the vector binds to the cell membrane. After the…

Chromosomal Disorder. Some other diseases that are considered as a Chromosomal Disorder are Down Syndrome and Turner Syndrome. Single Gene Disorders are caused by defects in individual genes. Gene defects cannot be detected by chromosome analysis. Thalassemia…

court. 3.PCR application in the identification of genetic disorder: The Polymerase chain reaction technology has been most commonly used to amplify the gene segments which contain kenned mutations for diagnosis of inherited diseases like beta thalassemia, sickle-cell anemia,cystic fibrosis,etc. 4. PCR is especially useful for the prenatal diagnosis of inherited diseases where cells obtain from fetus by amniocentesis,etc. 5.Detection of infectious diseases; Example: tuberculosis,AIDS.…

According to Yale University, a novel gene edition technique has been used and has effectively corrected mutations that bring about a kind of anemia known as thalassemia (“Scientists edit gene mutations in inherited form of anaemia” n.p.). The gene editing method used by the scientist has offered corrections with regards to mutations, over and above alleviating the condition in mice. More studies will have to be…

heritable diseases or genetic conditions ("Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis: Benefits & Concerns"). Changing the genetic makeup of an embryo can get rid of genetic defects. A future child that may have had Downs Syndrome, cystic fibrosis or beta thalassemia will not have this…

products, due to the presence of anti-B. Other illnesses that modify sugar chains in the ABO antigens include hematologic disorders, including leukemia, myelodysplasia and other myeloproliferative disorders. Old age and other illnesses such as thalassemia can decrease the expression of ABO antigens, leading to discrepancies in blood type…

“Gattaca”, by Andrew Niccol, is a film about a genetically inferior man who assumes the identity of a superior one in order to succeed in his dreams of space travel. While some themes presented in Gattaca seem alarmingly similar to our present world, we are in fact, still far away from making Gattaca a reality. The parallels between genetic manipulation in Gattaca and our world show how we may be close to making Gattaca a reality while the themes of discrimination and human spirit prove that the…
