Genetic disorders

Researchers from Iceland look at how parents' age and sex influences new genetic mutations in children that may lead to rare medical conditions.

Researchers from the University of California in Berkeley have pinpointed two genes involved in the digestion of fat that may have been key to helping humans thrive in harsh environments.

Usually both versions are not expressed and only one of the genes affects the phenotype (Observable characteristic). The gene that is expressed over another allele of the same gene is called Dominant. Individuals appear to have the

Factors contributing to the growth of the CRISPR technology market include growing applications of CRISPR technology, rising incidences of genetic disorders, rising government funding for genetic research, and technological advancements. However, lack of standardization, ethical concerns, and the high cost of CRISPR technology are some of the factors restraining the market growth.

David Liu's team at the Broad Institute has achieved a major milestone in gene editing, creating a system that could treat a wide range of genetic disorders by inserting healthy genes directly into their native locations

This is an example of dominate and recessive genes. Dominate genes stay and recessive genes don't show up. Sometimes pairs of genes from mom and dad mix and create a disorder.
