Q

Most birth defects are caused by

A

genetic or environmental factors or a combination of the two (multifactorial birth defects). In most cases, however, the cause is unknown.

21
Q

3 reasons of congenital disease:

A

Genetics
Environmental factor
Combination of two the genetics and environmental factor - multifactorial

21
Q

22
Q

Genetic or inherited causes include:

23
Q

23
Q

A

. HEREDITARY DISEASE

24
Q

CLASSIFICATION of hereditary disease:

A
  • SEX-LINKED -A genetic abnormality present on the sex chromosome
  • AUTOSOMAL INHERITANCE- A genetic abnormality present on one of the other 22 chromosomes
  • DOMINANT INHERITANCE -Transmitted by a single gene from either parent chromosomes
  • RECESSIVE INHERITANCE -Transmitted by both parents to an offspring

A

. HEREDITARY DISEASE

25
Q

is a hereditary disease caused by mutations in one of the genes that encode the hemoglobin protein. Red blood cells with the abnormal hemoglobin protein take on a sickle shape. The disease leads to chronic anemia and significant damage to the heart, lungs and kidneys.

25
Q

A

AUTOSOMAL INHERITANCE

A

cleft lip or palate, certain heart defects, and neural tube defects.

Examples include

A

allergy, asthma, autoimmune diseases, coeliac disease, glomerulonephritis, hepatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, preperfusion injury and transplant rejection.

Q

defective genes interfere with the production of proteins necessary for healthy muscle development. Such symptoms as progressive muscle weakness and loss of muscle mass often begin in childhood, though the disease can affect all ages, and all races.

A

muscular dystrophy

28
Q

Is an inherited condition that comes on in mid-life. It causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain, leading to a loss of brain and muscle function.
