They are affected the primary cells in Huntington s disease an inherited genetic disorder that causes involuntary muscle movements and cognitive decline usually beginning in middle-adulthood.

We have added now another set of genetic disorders that also might be affected by the age of the mother.

The discovery of a certain genotype might indicate the potential for a genetic disease and suggest that diagnostic testing be done.

Aneuploidy is well known to be deleterious in humans causing genetic disorders like Down s syndrome or trisomy 21. But having an extra chromosome can actually be beneficial in microbes like Cryptococcus where it has been shown to confer drug resistance to the antifungal fluconazole.

Origins Of Genetic disease Gene mutations are present in all the cells in the body and can be examined by taking a blood sample.

These are skills that we implement for other international trials of gene therapy for rare genetic diseases of the immune system
