Clergy Tax Factor 5 - Withholding Taxes. A church can withhold income tax (at the minister requests) , but not Social Security and Medicare tax. Let me repeat that...a church CANNOT withhold FICA from a qualifying minister's compensation. Note: Social security and Medicare taxes are collected under two systems.
Researchers have identified several of the various genes responsible for hereditary deafness or hearing loss, most notably the GJB2 gene mutation. As one of the most common genetic causes of hearing loss, GJB2-related hearing loss is considered a recessive genetic disorder because the mutations only cause deafness in individuals who inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent. A person with one mutated copy and one normal copy is a carrier but is not deaf.
The retinal degeneration 1 mutation (Pde6brd1, phophodiesterase 6B, cGMP, rod receptor, beta polypeptide) is present in a number of common inbred strains of mice, including some of those used to make transgenic mice (B6SJLF1/J, B6CBAF1/J and FVB/NJ).Pde6brd1 is recessive and causes blindness by weaning.he hybrid mice (B6SJLF1/J and B6CBAF1/J) segregate Pde6brd1 contributed by SJL or CBA. Unless a transgene integrates close to Pde6b, both blind and sighted transgenic progeny may be produced when B6SJLF1/J and B6CBAF1/J are used.
