Alleles for a particular phenotype determine what characteristic an organism will express, as with the following example where. 1  Chromosome 1 contains an allele for blonde hair. 2  Chromosome 2 contains an allele for brown hair. 3  Chromosome 3 contains an allele for blue eyes. 4  Chromosome 4 contains an allele for brown eyes.
Because of the patient's smoking history and abnormal chest radiograph, a neoplasm was initially suspected as a cause of SIADH. The head trauma was too remote to be of concern. Although 1 case of risperidone-associated hyponatremia has been reported, the risk seems low with this agent and with olanzapine.
Hyponatremia is a condition that occurs when the level of sodium in your blood is abnormally low. Sodium is an electrolyte, and it helps regulate the amount of water that's in and around your cells. In hyponatremia, one or more factors â ranging from an underlying medical condition to drinking too much water during endurance sports â causes the sodium in your body to become diluted. When this happens, your body's water levels rise, and your cells begin to swell. This swelling can cause many health problems, from mild to life-threatening. Hyponatremia treatment is aimed at resolving the underlying condition.
