To detect genetic syndromes, two groups of tests are available, molecular and cytogenetic tests. After the identification and definition of mutations, diagnostic methods or tests can be used to find them using techniques such as allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization, allele-specific amplification, ligation, primer extension and the artificial introduction of restriction sites.

A gene product is the biochemical material, either RNA or protein, resulting from expression of a gene.The products are often proteins.The product is a functional RNA in case of non-protein coding genes such as ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA) or small nuclear RNA (snRNA).     Overview : Gene expression and real time analysis was first introduced in 1992 by Higuchi and coworkers and has seen a rapid increase in its use since then (Higuchi et al., 1992, 1993). Over the past decade, real-time PCR applications have become broadly used tools for the quantification of specific sequences in complex mixtures. However, the most common use for this

Neurodegenerative diseases represent a major threat to human health. These age-dependent disorders are becoming increasingly prevalent, in part because the  elderly  population has increased in recent years. Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system which includes the  brain  and  spinal cord.  Neurons normally don’t reproduce or replace themselves, so when they become damaged or die they cannot be replaced by the body. Neurodegenerative diseases are incurable and debilitating conditions that result in progressive degeneration and / or death of nerve cells. This causes problems with movement (called  ataxia

With mass vaccination of adults, increased rates of infection are being reported in the unvaccinated population. Serious illness and death rates have been reported to be lower in children; however, after infection (be it symptomatic or asymptomatic), they are highly vulnerable to multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C). The COVID-19 pandemic has not only disrupted children’s education but also has had a significant effect on children’s physical, mental, and emotional health. The lack of attention for the young-aged people is mainly due to the fact that COVID-19 infection in children has a benign and limited course, with low to mode
