Genetic testing; a linchpin of precision medicine, enables the detection of inherited conditions & disease predispositions. But while its benefits are immense, access to these tools remains deeply unequal across the globe.          🔹 Genetic testing access is shaped by intertwisted socioeconomic, geographic, & cultural barriers. High-income countries benefit from strong healthcare systems & expertise, while LMICs often face shortages in resources, personnel, & lab ...

What makes this powerful is its tissue specificity. Different tissues activate distinct genes, enabling unique physiological roles. When regulation fails, the consequences can be severe. 🎯 Why Tissue-Specific Expression Matters?      🔹 The body comprises specialized cells: neurons, hepatocytes, myocytes; each with a dedicated function. This is enabled by selective gene expression. Liver cells, for example, express detoxification genes, while neurons express genes for signal transmission. Disruptions in these patterns are central to disease. Cancer i...

Two of the most studied SCAs are Turner syndrome (45,X) and Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY); each offering unique insights into how chromosomal differences shape human health.           🔹 Turner Syndrome affects females and typically results from a missing X chromosome. Common features include short stature, delayed puberty, and infertility, often accompanied by cardiovascular or renal anomalies. Variants such as mosaicism (45,X/46,XX) add complexity. Early diagnosis enables interventions like growth hormone and estrogen therapy, improving outcomes and quality of ...
