They live in denial, not knowing that genotype can make or mar an individual relationship and marriage. First and foremost, life they say is unfair. Well maybe they are right, maybe not. But one thing I am very certain of is that things of the heart clouds ones reasoning faculty. Because of this many individual have made lots of mistakes in choosing their life partner.

Although they are constantly prone to malaria attacks during the formation stages. They are perfectly healthy, and have very strong anti-bodies that fight diseases and infections off.However,for those with AS genotype, they don’t show symptoms ,and are on the surface level strong medically. But they are what we call mild-resistor sicklers.Then we come to the almighty SS,they are what we call sicklers.They have what is medically known as sickle cell anaemia.They usually have one clinical crises to another. They do live normal life though with proper medical care.In reality ,they usually have a short life span, filled with pain.AC are rare genetic conditions but a better than SS.The C hemoglobin known as allele doesn’t really shows symptons.What we know is that the allele C can resist malaria parasite, thus few of them have contract the disease.However,individuals with AC may likely have the following problems:angloid streaks(poor vision),big spleen, probably jaundice, gall stones infection and some other anemia …show more content…

I laugh at you, not in disdain or mockery, but at you emotional and sentimental foolishness. If you do not care about your life, why don’t you care about the lives of the poor and innocent soul you want to bring into this world to suffer? Are you that heartless, that you will because of worldly lust and vain profanities suffer an innocent soul? Do you know how much it cost to take care of a Sickle cell anemia (SS) individual? Do you know how much pain he or she goes through daily in the form crises? Have you ever experienced such things before in life? Do you think it is a think of joy to lose a child through anemia when it can be avoided? I can also hear some people saying we will abort the baby, if its SS .I shakes my head in disbelief at your thought. All I will say is that God will forgive

It is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease (metabolism disorder passed down through families) caused by a deficiency in one of the enzymes needed to break down the glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate which is found in the extra-cellular matrix and on cell surface glycoproteins. It makes the body unable to properly break down the heparin sulfate sugar chain. The incompletely broken down heparan sulfate remains stored inside cells in the body and begins to build up, causing progressive damage. There are four types of sanflippo syndrome based on the defective gene that encode for the enzyme. Sanfilippo type A: A person does not have a normal working form of the enzyme called heparan N-sulfatase, Sanfilippo type B: Occurs when a person

Of course, the condition will most likely involve a heart problem, which is discovered at birth, along with a webbed neck, chest deformities, many birth marks, also known as café-au-lait spots, and a short stature. The features of this syndrome are not fully known, considering the fact that there are numerous characteristics and no two infected individuals have the same exact features. Like in most other disease cases, there are lists of more minor symptoms that can occur in an individual. In infants and newborns, feeding problems are present, due to a poor sucking reflex. Behavioral problems and developmental delays can occur, which causes the individual to achieve milestones slower, such as sitting and walking.

Malaria occurs when blood parasites of an infected mosquito are transmitted from human to human. According to an article, “A child dies every minute from malaria in Africa where it is estimated that 9 out of 10 malaria deaths occur” (“World Health,” par. 3). Africa has become known for malaria deaths, but also that it kills an African child every minute. With the majority of Africa’s population being children, they become the victims of most diseases because they have the weakest immune systems.

The second factor that rendered the Italian south far more malarial than the Germanic north was the efficiency of Italy’s resident mosquito vectors. In most of Germany, the primary malaria vector was Anopheles atroparvus. Luckily for the Germans and other northern Europeans, A. atroparvus is usually zoophilic in its feeding habits, preferring animal over human meals when available. This makes A. atroparvus a poor malaria vector, since a mosquito must bite a human twice to convey the parasite: once to ingest the malaria parasites, and once again after 7-30 days (depending on temperature) to inject the fully developed sporozoites into a new host. As malaria expert L. W. Hackett explained, this disinclination to bite man means that “if 1 in 20

Malaria has caused millions of deaths, most of those being children under the age of five years old. Malaria occurs when a mosquito bites a human and releases the malaria-causing parasite called the Plasmodium parasite. The main way of fighting the disease is to prevent the disease from being transmitted as the technology to stop it after transmission does not exist. Three methods of prevention were provided, the first being to genetically engineer mosquitoes that do not have the capability of transmitting the disease. The second method is to genetically engineer the mosquitoes to not procreate and hope a different type of mosquito that is not prone to spread the disease replaces it.

Transmission occurs in large areas of Africa, central and South America, the Caribbean, Asia, Eastern Europe and the South Pacific. The body’s natural defence mechanisms that fight malarial parasites are more common in populations of people, that are continually exposed to the parasite. Also for individuals with inherited conditions such as sickle cell anaemia and Thalassaemia, which are in fact conditions in which cause abnormalities in the red blood cells. It is also found within people that come from regions impacted by malaria.
