Extractions: Genetic Disorders The Links to Diet Many researchers and support groups state that birth defects and genetic disorders, especially connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome osteogenesis imperfecta and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome , can't possibly be cured through diet because they are inherited genetic disorders. This conclusion is invalid simply because many birth defects and inherited genetic disorders have been found to be improved, or even cured, through diet. The old school of thinking that a birth defect or inherited disorder had to be caused by a single gene is no longer widely held in medical circles. The breakthrough concept in research is that many birth defects and inherited disorders are influenced by both genes and environmental factors, especially nutrition. Genes may make people susceptible to certain defects and disorders, but they are often only a part of the picture. Some interesting examples and articles on the subject are listed below.

Extractions: Patient Education ... Prenatal Testing Genetics The body's genetic material is contained within the nucleus of each of its cells. The genetic material consists of coils of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) arranged in a complex way to form chromosomes. Human cells contain 46 chromosomes in pairs, including one pair of sex chromosomes. Each DNA molecule is a long double helix that resembles a spiral staircase. The steps of the staircase, which determine a person's genetic code, consist of pairs of four types of molecules called bases. In the steps, adenine is paired with thymine, and guanine is paired with cytosine. The genetic code is written in triplets, so each group of three steps of the staircase codes the production of one of the amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. A gene consists of the code required to construct one protein. Genes vary in size, depending on the size of the protein. Genes are arranged in a precise sequence on the chromosomes; the location of a particular gene is called its locus.
