Question
9:In the last topic you learned about Mendelian inheritance (dominant/recessive, one gene for one trait) and in this topic you are following up on that information by looking at the difference between autosomal and sex-linked inheritance. Therefore, for this assignment, you should identify 3 autosomal dominant disorders, 3 autosomal recessive disorders, and 3 sex-linked disorders that are different from the ones we are using in the labs; and make a table with the name, inheritance pattern (as mentioned in the previous sentence), description of, and prevalence (percentage of population that expresses the disorder--you can pick the population, but you need numbers and references) of the disorder. I need an outside source with this with in paragraph citation as well as a reference citing at the end..
Explanation / Answer
3 autosomal dominant disorder :
1) Huntington disease - 1/2000 is the prevalence of cases.
2) neurofibromatosis - 1/3500 cases found NF1 , 1/ 25000 is NF2
3) polycystic kidney diease-1/2000
3 autosomal recessive disorder :
1) cystic fibrosis - 1/3000
2) sickle cell anemia - 1-40%
3) Tay Sachs disease - 1/3500 is the frequency
3 sex linked disorder
