love that song @drspatelmd.... hehe.. funny version...

i'm going so slow with embryo... wonder how i will finish biochem...

[ArchivalUser]

you are most welcome guy

don't worry we are all in this together... just keep swimming!

Locus heterogeneity. e.g parents with A.R deafnes hanve kids with normal hearing, blc parents have mutations in different gene loci

oh yah !!! lets KEEP GOING!!!!!!


does anyone feel their fast? i dont thank god.

I have about 30 pages of first aid biochem left!!!!

should be done by IFTAAR!!!!!! then start embryo!!

how is everyone holding up??


11 hours and 30 mins till DAY 3!!!!

me 2 nearly finished biochem just rapid reviewing everything .....focusing on the HY points...hope to be finished before iftaar!!!!!!!

not in First aid :

MENKEZ disease: aka Ehlers danlos syndrome type 9 aka kinky hair syndrome
: x linked recessive disease
: presents with weak collagen , and mutation in gene ATP7A
loss of efflux Cu+ protein in intestine.

findings: hypopigmented hair and elongation of the arteries.
bladder diverticula and subdural hematomas. :

Lab: decrease Cu+ and ceruloplasmin
:defect of cross linking collagen.

remember: Cu+ required for lysl oxidase enzyme which use for collagen formation by catalyzing cross linking of collagen fibrils from tropocollagen which came from pro A collagen a triple helix which came from the pre - hydroxylated and pre glycosylated procollagen.

@geomerald...just to add...albinism has variable inheritance due to locus hetro geniety....
n ocular albinism is x linked recessive


one enzyme deficiency which is x linked recessive....otc deficiency
most of enzyme deficiencies r autosomal recessive
