Avatar f tn Makes everything a surprise because while there is a chance for one thing theres also chances for others. I have my fad has straight brown hair and bkue eyes and my mom has curly dark brown hair and hazel eyes. My sis has straight brown hair and blue eyes, my brother has curly brown with blue, and i have straight hair thats a big mix of colors with green eyes. Its crazy!
6363715 tn?1394225781 Im not sure what you mean by "brown" genetics. But dark eyes and hair is a dominate trait in both males and females. Light hair and blue eyes is recessive. If theres a chance he carries blue eyes/blonde hair in his genes there is a chance for your baby to have those traits.
Avatar f tn Here i am disappointed and impatient with no baby and no sign of her coming yet, im not even dialated and due in 11 days. My mom and sisters went to their due dates or maybe a day or two over so thats what i am guessing will happen to me :( im learning to be patient and im glad my baby and i are healthy enough to go full term because some babies have to be taken early and stay in the nicu for a while.
2006603 tn?1331329327 I have a very weak immune system and am hoping he takes after his dad and not me. I know my mom and dad both have allergys and none of me and my 2 siblings inherited any of thier allergies.
Avatar f tn My mom had 3 kids my sis and I were 4 weeks early and my little brother was 6 weeks early and I went 5 days past my due date soooooo no it's not genetics
9435730 tn?1403754999 I'm about 9 weeks pregnant and both my husband (on his mother side) and I (on my father's side) both have type two diabetes. Out of curiosity how high is the percentage of our child getting type two diabetes or any diabetes in general? Also is it possible for me to get diabetes during my pregnancy?
1110747 tn?1295844043 Know when and what age the first period started...and make notes of any abnormalties. Sometimes, if you see the signs early... you can stop the symtpoms in there track and focus on fixing the body.
Avatar f tn After reading some your post of parents who has MS and now your child. I am concerned about my kids furture with MS. As for I know I am the only one in my family who has MS. Who here is the only one who has MS in your family and your kids still dont have or they have it as well even though you have no genectic trace of MS? I know the chances are higher if they are genetics run in the family. Make since? what do you think or know?
Avatar f tn My husband has been diagnosed with MMN. We have 2 boys, ages 8 and 5, and I am trying to find out what the percentage risk factors my children have for this disease. The MD does not seem to want to answer the question. Any help? Thank you so much.
4144828 tn?1351683716 she had a hysterectomy. In that time she had she had me, and seven years later my brother. I know that my grandmother had to have a hysterectomy early too, but I don't know about miscarriages & can't ask her....So the only person alive or that i'm in contact with is my dad, and he's less than thrilled to talk to me about his ex wifes fertility issues. Is this going to happen to me, am I going to have problems and have miscarriage after miscarriage ?
Avatar f tn My fiance is african american and im hispanic but with fair skin and dark brown hair and our 3 yr old son is light skinned like i am but looks exactly like his dad and has his hair. But see my fiances mom is very light skinned as well. It just depends. No way to tell.
Avatar f tn It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
976897 tn?1379167602 yes it does sound odd. The genes for producing the protein to make silk in spiders has been found and spliced into goats. The milk produced by the goats contains lots of the protein so the silk can be produced in large quantities. Why? well the silk is the strongest thing in nature or made by humans. It can be used to repair tendons for example. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. You can use online software and create your own dna.
Avatar f tn I am not a doctor. The genetics is not a slam dunk. Some families have it strongly others do not. I had no one in my family history with it. Stomach issues are not usually MS. If she is concerned it is best to start with a Primary Care Doctor. He or she can do a basic neurological exam. If he or she thinks she needs to go to a neurologist he or she can make a referral. With out symptoms or signs few Doctors will order the extensive tests for MS.
Avatar f tn Is there a high chance of my baby having bipolar disorder if she has a parent that is diagnosed with it? I found out today my ex was officially diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which is why he has been so nasty to me, according to him. He claims he is being medicated for it, so it seems like he's being legit about it. I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the chances of my (and his) daughter having this disorder as well?
Avatar f tn So I know that it says that miscarriages aren't hereditary, but if both my mom and grandma had healthy pregnancies with their 4 kids, does that make it a better chance that I too will have a healthy pregnancy? I'm already kind of falling their same symptoms as far as not having any morning sickness at all. Just curious what all of you think.
Avatar f tn m not sure how it works but both my husband and I have brown eyes and our son has bright blue eyes. Everyone said babys eyes would change in the first 6mths but they didn't, still blue. The only person with blue eyes in our family tree is my husbands grandfather so our baby's great grandfather.
Avatar f tn My unresearched, non-scientific answer is no. I think it is more of a behavioral inheritance. We see our family/friends using substances to cope with life, and that's what we learn. Drugs have been around since mans beginnings, unfortunately we hippies didn't start it lol. We just took it out of the closet.
Avatar f tn At the hospital we went to, scientists gave a little symposium about this big project and other facets of it, and about the state of diabetes research in general. I found this, and participation in the study, to be useful, in part because it put us in touch with some people doing cutting-edge work, it put us on their mailing lists, it put us on the list of people they'll contact for future studies, etc. It's a foot in the door.
Avatar m tn I have been reading some interesting articles on HIV and genetics and wondered if anyone else who is more educated on the matter knew anymore (like whether they hold any water or not). Without going into much detail I have read firstly that their is a gene that makes a person resistant to malaria but more susceptible to HIV and is very common in people of African descent (or other global regions where malaria has been historically prevalent).
Avatar f tn Honestly, sudden onset of pins and needles and numbness in your hand and arm sounds a lot more like a nerve entrapment injury. If I was you, I'd head to a good physiotherapist first. They can carry out some simple tests to see if this is the actual issue. Do you have specific fingers that go numb first?
874521 tn?1424116797 But, she also mentioned that the genetics of allergies are very complex, like the genetics of hip dysplasia, and the problem is not related to one gene and rarely can be predicted from dog to dog. My biggest concern is that a statement like "all bulldogs are allergic to wheat" is that it is a broad generalization that has no basis in fact. To me, it's like saying "all German Shepherds have hip dysplasia".
Avatar n tn Get your histamine levels checked, especially IgE. Constant high histamine caused by genetics and undermethylation caused me to have a severe hormone allergy called autoimmune progesterone anaphylaxis. YES, I am allergic to my own hormones, my own sweat, and seriously autoimmune because of high histamine levels. You should know based on your symptoms whether or not you are undermethylated or overmethylated and whether you suffer histadelia or not. My guess is YES.
Avatar m tn Hi, New here but not new to autism. I have a son and two girls with autism. All to different degrees from HD to LD. My wife and I split up 10 years ago. However we still work very closely in bringing up our children. But, I have met some one else and we would like to have a baby. I am Very concerned. Neither my family, my ex's family or my existing partner have any members in their family with autism or on the spectrum. or at least so it seems. My question is. . .
Avatar m tn It was difficult to breathe and there was tightness in my chest. I went to the doctor and was put on a nebulizer and diagnosed with allergies and acute bronchospasm. I was prescribed Flonase, Claritin, and an Albuterol inhaler to use when needed. The symptoms went away for a few days (it seemed like after the first roach treatment) but now they are back. I noticed that they seemed to get better once they sprayed for roaches, but I also woke up with what seemed like dirt in my nostrils.
Avatar n tn Ever since I had it in July of last year, maybe a month or so afterward, I have been getting sick nonstop from stomach bugs, strep, and the main kicker which is cold/allergy like symptoms with sore throat, sinus, mucus, and sometimes coughing, etc... anything and everything! Not even exaggerating, I get sick every other week and at the most two weeks if I am very lucky. I feel good for a week at a time and it's usually when I'm on antibiotics.
359574 tn?1328360424 It has been his experence in the last thirty years that patients who have MS and take allergy shots do well in relationship to their MS. He states that allergy shots produces T cell suppressors called CD cells that control allergies and MS. I started shots seven years ago when I came to work for him. I take no MS drugs and since I started the shots all my MRIs have shown NO change and no new symptoms. This is also true for the other two patients he has who also have MS.
