A third way that erosion and deposition can take place is through snow and ice. As snow piles build up, they can form glaciers, which are large masses of ice that can move.
âWe know that Bardet-Biedl syndrome is caused by mutations in at least 19 known genes, and that patients with the condition have inherited a faulty gene from each of their parents. What Iâm trying to do is to develop treatments that can help correct some of these mistakes..hile these therapies wonât cure Bardet-Biedl syndrome, they do have the potential to prevent and treat the blindness that it causes, and for Dr Forsythe, thatâs all the motivation she needs. âI know that it is absolutely key for the patients to have this research.
Sickle cell disease (also called sickle cell anemia) is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells. The sickle cell gene causes the body to produce abnormal hemoglobin. In sickle cell disease, the hemoglobin clumps together, causing red blood cells to become stiff and develop a C-shaped (âsickleâ) form.These sickled red blood cells can block blood vessels, reducing blood flow in many parts of the body.ickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder in which the body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells. In sickle cell disease, the hemoglobin in red blood cells clumps together. This causes red blood cells to become stiff and C-shaped. These sickle cells block blood and oxygen flow in blood vessels.
