The Ehlers–Danlos syndrome is a heritable connective-tissue disorder caused by defects in fibrillar-collagen metabolism. Mutations in the type V collagen genes account for up to 50 percent of cases of ...

Some health problems are passed down through families. There are different ways this can happen. To have a child born with what’s called an “autosomal recessive disease” like sickle cell disease or ...

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited condition that follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. Even if you don’t have sickle cell anemia, you can be a carrier. Sickle cell anemia is a genetic ...

Only a small fraction of rare, undiagnosed developmental disorders in the British Isles are caused by recessive genes. Researchers estimated only 5 percent of the patients had inherited a ...

Sperm quality and sperm competition play important roles in determining the efficiency of genetic methods for suppression of lepidopteran populations. Herein we have examined competitiveness of mutant ...
