Increased risk for autism appears to be linked to the Y chromosome, a Geisinger study found, offering a new explanation for the greater prevalence of autism in males. The results were published today in Nature Communications. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests and activities. ASD is nearly four times more prevalent among males than females, but the reason for this disparity is not well understood. One common hypothesis involves the difference in sex chromosomes betwe

hemorrhagic disorder due to extrinsic circulating anticoagulants :: Article Creator Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Spreading Due To Climate Change KAYSERI, Türkiye The Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), caused by ticks, has begun to appear in many countries due to climate change, a Turkish professor said. The disease is a seasonal illness transmitted to humans by ticks of the Hyalomma genus, Professor Dr. Aykut Ozdarendeli, the director of Erciyes University's Vaccine Research and Development Center, who developed the TURKOVAC vaccine against COVID-19 and is currently conducting research on a vaccine for CCHF, told Anadolu. Ozdarendeli highlighted that in recent years, due to both climate changes and the appearance of the disease-causing ticks in different regions, the disease has started to spread over a larger area. "We know there have been fatalities not only in our country but also in Russia, Iran, Greece, Bulgaria, and Sp

aplastic anemia genetic :: Article Creator Is Sickle Cell Disease Genetic? Sickle cell disease is genetic. In order to develop SCD, a person needs to inherit a specific gene from both of their parents. Together, these genes affect the development of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. The genes lead to the creation of abnormal hemoglobin, which results in red blood cells that are hard, sticky, and C-shaped, which gives the disease its name. As sickle cell disease is genetic, people have it from birth. For a person to develop sickle cell disease, they must inherit an abnormal hemoglobin gene from both parents. A person with one abnormal hemoglobin gene and one typical hemoglobin gene will have sickle cell trait. People with sickle cell trait do not usually experience any symptoms or health differences, but they can pass on an abnormal hemoglobin gene to their child. If both p

xxy chromosome disorder in females :: Article Creator Study Links Having Extra Y Chromosome With Doubling Risk Of Autism New Delhi: An abnormality in one's sex chromosome in the form of an extra Y chromosome has been related with a doubled risk of having autism, according to a study that offered a "new explanation" for why autism is more prevalent in men. The Y chromosome should be looked at more closely for identifying autism risk factors, researchers said. Sex chromosomes determine an individual's biological sex -- men usually carry XY chromosome in their cells, while women are known to carry XX chromosome. However, some individuals carry an abnormal number of X or Y chromosomes, such as XXY or XYY, which is a genetic condition known as 'sex chromosome aneuploidy'. Autism, a neurodevelopmental condition in which one displays repetitive behaviours and has affected social skills, has been studied to be nearly four times mor
