What is an intact gene

What is an intact gene

Each person is born with a certain set of genes which are descended to him. Practically all biological characteristics of an embryo can be predicted if to carry out survey of his parents. Genes have a number of properties which can render both positive, and negative impact on an organism of future person.

It is proved that some genes have predisposition to a mutation, they quite often prove even when forming a fruit, namely in the course of definition of bodies and members of the person, being expressed as uglinesses and deviations which doctors learned to define by means of modern methods of inspection of pregnant women.

Gene and genome

In fact, human genome call a special cage which transfers a hereditary factor. These cages are ordered and interconnected, all this system consists of 23 couples of chromosomes which are in a kernel of each cage. Chromosomes differ only with one couple of sexual chromosomes, that is, respectively, happen men's and women's. Thus, it turns out that human genome consists 23 couples of chromosomes: 22 autosomes and two sexual chromosomes. Any of chromosomes can become the reason of a mutation and ugliness.

Very often in medicine it is possible to hear a phrase "intact gene", in translation from Latin - untouched. The intact gene is a healthy gene, it is not involved in any processes, has no damages. Many scientists and researchers speak in the materials and about an intact organism, that is a human body which had no contacts with microbes, viruses, various vaccines. It is, of course, conditional model of a human body which is given for comparison and also it is used for a "conditional" research on a method "if the organism had no contacts with bacteria and viruses".

Experimental medicine

The Itaktny gene at the present stage of researches became an object of experiments, it is replaced the cancer patient to people, those who has tumors and other diseases for which this way of treatment - the last hope. There are even positive responses to such performed operations. Allegedly the organism at the expense of an intact gene begins to send a signal of what everything be all right, and the disease begins to recede. But so far researches of transplantations of this gene too little. There is also a number of experiments which were made in Great Britain: doctors worried that the transplanted organ from the donor to the recipient can have a virus genome. After a number of researches, they came to a conclusion that carriers of viral diseases possess an intact gene too, that is contain the certain genomic code capable "to start" work of a virus in a human body. And as patients after transplantation use the medicines weakening the immune system in order that the donor organ could take root, that is all necessary conditions for transfer of a virus intact gene in an organism. This opening forced to look at all system of postoperative impact on an organism of the recipient differently. On medical beliefs the intact gene and remains a healthy gene, but only if the virus which very easily is transferred and becomes more active does not interfere with it.
