Hi, I in Human Genetics.discussing questions on the single gene trait dwarfism and how ir relates to dominand and recessive gene alleles.
My question is:
When discussing how dominant gene alleles and recessive gene alleles determine expression of single-gene traits, such as dwarfism, what are the current prognostic, diagnostic and treatment capabilities for dwarfism? Thank you!
