Genes and Genetics |
| Humans currently
have about 24,000 protein-coding genes on 23 chromosome pairs
and in mitochondrial DNA. |
| There are about
2,000 genes presently of interest to Silver Wolf Wushu. They are
implicated in conditions like |
| autism
(including Rett's and what was formerly known as Asperger's),
ataxia, asthma, arthrogryposis, cerebral |
| palsy,
various dementias and Down syndrome. Typically, a gene has a
start sequence, triplets of nucleotides and |
| a stop sequence.
Usually genes are described as having certain mutations - these
take the form of nucleotide |
| changes that
alter the resulting amino acid or misplaced start or stop
codons. There can also be deletions and |
| repetitions as
well as translocations (genes wind up on a different
chromosome). Genes can be influenced by |
| other genes. In
addition, there are jumping genes and pseudo-genes as well as
epigenetic influences such as |
| methylization and
histone modification that activate or de-activate genes. We are
complicated. |
|
| In our particular case to fairly compare
the progress (velocity of learning) of one student to other
students |
| we insist the
comparison must be between genetically similar students. |
| If you are disputing whether you or
someone you know is disabled and the dispute is with a federal
agency such |
| as the Social Security Administration or
with a correponding state or county agency get the DNA
sequencing |
done and look up the genes here. It is
likely we will be adding bibliographies of technical papers for
each gene. One
|
| major problem is the interpretation of
genes and syndromes and mutations change over time. Not all
online |
| databases (OMIM, GHL, GeneCards ...)
agree and there are few descriptions of exact mutations. |
