- One from each parent
- Parents are rarely affected as they only have 1 mutated gene
- Two carriers only have a 25% chance of having a completely unaffected child, a 50% chance of having an unaffected carrier child, and a 25% chance of having a fully affected child
- Cystic Fibrosis (CF)
- Mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR)
- Type of gene mutation is related to how severe the case is
- Severe lung and digestive issues
- Affect cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices
- Turns these liquids from thin to thick and sticky
- Plug up passageways in the body
- Can be diagnosed within the first month of life
- Higher salt content in sweat
- Can lead to coughing, lung infections, and many other respiratory and digestive issues]]> 2023-03-06 17:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hglenville/w0j5sm35yrc6yei3/wish/2505496696 https://padlet.com/hglenville/w0j5sm35yrc6yei3/wish/2505740917 - a way that a trait/ disorder can be passed down
- if you get the abnormal gene from one parent, you can get it
- the abnormal gene dominates the other parent's normal gene
- it can also occur as new when neither parent has it
- a parent has a 50% chance of giving it to their child
- children who don't inherit the gene can't pass it on
- huntingtons disease (HD) affects about 1 in 10000 people in western countries
- 50% chance of passing it on each child
- kills brain cells, affects movement,mood, and thinking
- most people die 10-20 years after symptoms begin
