Inheriting altered copies of at least 12 different genes that do not work properly is the cause of most types of albinism. About 20% of individuals with albinism remain molecularly unresolved in all genetic diagnosis centers due to the mutation status in known genes. Hypopigmentation, white blood cell abnormalities, short lifespan, eye diseases, and skin […]
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease that carries pathobiological properties and results from a genetic mutation on the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductivity regulator (CFTR) gene [1]. In individuals with cystic fibrosis, the CFTR gene has been found to contain more than 1,000 mutations. The majority of these mutations affect the CFTR protein’s amino
HeLa cells are the first cell line to be immortal, also used in many scientific studies. The cells are derived from the cervical cancer samples named after Henrietta Lacks, who died of cancer in 1951. These cells were taken without her and her family’s knowledge and also duplicated. They were used in many types of
