24" x 24" acrylic on panel ES: Edward's Syndrome affects almost every organ system. Children generally do not live more than a few months. all 24" X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL all: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is an acute form of leukemia or cancer of the white blood cells, characterized by the overproduction and accumulation of cancerous, immature white blood cells, known as lymphoblasts. In persons with ALL, lymphoblasts are overproduced in the bone marrow and continuously multiply, causing damage and death by inhibiting the production of normal cells (such as red and white blood cells and platelets) in the bone marrow and by spreading (infiltrating) to other organs. atp7b
24" X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL atp7b: Wilson's disease is a rare genetic condition that causes a person's body to store too much of the mineral copper. High levels of copper can damage organs in the body such as the liver, brain, eyes and other organs. ad
24" X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL Alzheimer's Disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. The most common early symptom is short-term memory loss. As the disease advances, symptoms can include problems with language, disorientation, mood swings, loss of motivation, and behavioral issues. smp
24" X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL smp: Scott M. Prion- Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (Human Mad Cow) is a degenerative neurological disease that is incurable and invariably fatal. It is caused by an infectious agent called a prion, which are misfolded proteins that replicate by converting their properly folded counterparts, in their host, to the same misfolded structure they possess. fvl 24" X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL Factor 5 Leiden thrombophilia is an inherited disorder leading to an increased tendency to form abnormal blood clots in blood vessels. People who have the factor V Leiden mutation are a higher than average risk for clots that form in large veins in the legs or a clot that travels through the bloodstream and lodges in the lungs. ts 24" X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL Turner Syndrome is a chromosomal condition that alters development in females. Women with this condition tend to be shorter than average and are usually infertile because of an absence of ovarian function. Other features of this condition that can vary include: extra skin on the neck, puffiness or swelling of the hands and feet, skeletal abnormalities, heart defects and kidney problems. ps 13 24" X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL ps 13: Patau Syndrome causes serious eye, brain, and circulatory defects as well as cleft palate. Children rarely live more than a few months. 47x 24" X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY males) affects male sex organs, causing unusually small testes and sterility, as well as breast enlargement and other feminine body characteristics. Intelligence is not affected. fxs "24X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL Fragile X is the most common form of mental retardation. The X chromosome of some people is unusually fragile at one tip - seen "hanging by a thread" under a microscope. Most people have 29 "repeats" at this end of their X chromosome; those with Fragile X have over 700 repeats due to duplications. Xy²
24" X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL XYY males are somewhat taller than average and often have below normal intelligence. In the 1970s, it was thought that these men were more likely to be criminally aggressive, but this hypothesis has been disproven. ch1 24" X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL Chromosome 1. There are 890 known diseases related to this chromosome. pd
24" X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL Parkinson's Disease is a neurological condition that typically causes tremor and/or stiffness in movement. The chance of developing PD increases as people age. ds 21 + 1
24" X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL Down Syndrome is the result of an extra copy of chromosome 21. People with Down Syndrome are 47, 21+. Down syndrome alters the child's phenotype either moderately or severely and causes characteristic facial features, short stature, heart defects, and susceptibility to respiratory disease. pd 24" X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL Cry of the Cat (cri du chat) is a specific deletion of a small portion of chromosome 5; these children have severe mental retardation, a small head with unusual facial features, and a cry that sounds like a distressed cat. xxx 24" X 24" ACRYLIC ON PANEL Trisomy X females are healthy and fertile and cannot usually be distinguished from normal females except by karyotype. |
