A CLOSER LOOK AT MENDELIAN DISORDERS
Mendelian disorders are genetic conditions that follow the principles of Mendel's laws of inheritance. These principles state that traits are inherited in a predictable manner and that each parent contributes ...
THE SCIENCE BEHIND PATHOLOGIC CALCIFICATION
Pathologic calcification, also known as metastatic calcification or dystrophic calcification, is a condition where calcium deposits form in abnormal locations within the body, leading to the development of calcified tissue ...
MOLECULAR DIAGNOSIS OF GENETIC DISEASES
Molecular diagnosis plays a crucial role in the identification and characterization of genetic diseases, particularly in the detection of germline mutations and acquired genetic alterations. Germline mutations refer to genetic ...
SINGLE-GENE DISORDERS WITH NONCLASSIC INHERITANCE
Introduction Single-Gene Disorders with Nonclassic Inheritance refer to a group of genetic disorders that are caused by mutations in a single gene and exhibit inheritance patterns that deviate from the ...
UNLOCKING THE POWER OF CRITICAL THINKING IN PROBLEM SOLVING
