It is a disorder that is caused by a microdeletion in chromosome band 22q11.2. The key gene that is lost is Tbx-1, a control gene that regulates other genes required for the connection of the heart with the blood circulation. Tbx-1 also controls genes involved in the development of the parathyroid and thymus glands and the shape of the face. Babies with DiGeorge syndrome are born with hypocalcemia, congenital heart disease, cleft lip and/or palate, and are highly susceptible to infections.
In this section, we examine how different scenarios affect your weight. 1  Mass & Distance affect the gravitational forces / attraction (aka-weight) between two objects. ï»¿ 2 Because you are made of matter, you exert gravitational fields. 3  Gravity is relatively a very weak force.
Anything which has mass also has a gravitational pull. The more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what causes objects to fall. Gravity is what holds the planets in orbit around the Sun and what keeps the Moon in orbit around Earth.
