Introduction The genetic cause and gene-environment interaction to health conditions have been in the study over the years. Molecular technology studies show that the genetic disorders are inherited from the parents, mostly the autosomal dominance, Mendelian disorders. The scientific research on such ailments as diabetes has been limited; this paper...

Advances in the study of human genomics and genetics open new avenues for individualized, competent healthcare, which is an efficient path to raising care quality and standards. Thus, for instance, Mehrian-Shai and Reichardt (2015) showed in their study how the use of IT and genomic information may provide individualized preventive...

Gregor Mendel gave the world insight into genetic odds, allowing for the identification of the different ways in which genetic traits could be used to predict the traits of future generations (O’Neil, 2013). Since the 1890s when Mendel first completed his experiments, tools and technology available have become more advanced,...

Abstract Observing an incident in which two white cats produce an offspring that is not white may be perplexing if one does not have a clear understanding of basic mendelian genetics. This report will assess this scenario, while presenting basic information pertaining to heterozygotic, homozygotic mixtures of simple traits, and...

The issue of genetic screening is controversial, as parent’s attitude differs depending on their knowledge about the procedure. For parents their child’s health should be a primary concern, and testing for possible medical conditions should make sense to them. Reviewing genetic screening from the parents’ perspective, it is mandatory to...
