Research and
Testing
- Genetic Testing -
Improving
Healthcare
- Some genetic variants put you at a higher
risk of developing a certain disease E.G.
cancer. If people knew they had a
particular variant, they can reduce the risk
of getting the disease by changing their
lifestyle.
- Sometimes, if you have a particular variant it
means that you will definitely have a disease E.G. if
you have two copies of the recessive CF allele then
you will have cystic fibrosis. Newborn babies are
tested for certain genetic variants, so doctors can
tell if they've inherited a genetic disorder.
- Some common genetic variants make some
drugs less effective. Genetic testing for these
variants could help the doctors to predict how
the patient will respond to specific drugs and
prescribe the ones that will be most effective
for them. There are drawback with this kind of
genetic testing.
- This could
lead to:
- Discrimination
- Employers may discriminate against people
who are genetically likely to get a disease.

- Increased
stress
- If people knew they were likely to get a brain
disease, they could panic every time they get a
headache, even if they never get the disease.

Family Planning
- A couple who wants to have a
baby could use genetic testing
to identify the risk of their
baby having a particular
genetic disorder.
- They could test this
through:
- Parent
- May know there is a genetic
disorder within their family. Even if
they may not have the disorder,
genetic tests could reveal whether
they are a carrier for the condition.

- Embryo
- A couple who know they are at a risk of
passing on a genetic disorder may choose
to have their eggs fertilised in a lab. An
embryo without the genetic variants
linked to the disorder can be implanted
into the womb to develop a baby.

- Transfers Genes
Between
organisms.
- Transferring a gene from the
genome of one organism to the
genome of another to give the
organism that receives the gene
new and useful characteristics.
- A useful gene is cut from an organism's genome using enzymes and is
then replicated to produce other copies. Each copy is inserted into a
vector, which is usually a virus or bacterial plasmid depending on the
type of organism that the gene is being transferred to. The vectors are
mixed with other cells E.G. bacteria. The vectors will be taken up by the
cells, which become genetically modified. Most cells don't take vector and
the desired gene so the cells that are modified need to be identified and
selected. The selected cells are then allowed to replicate and each new
cell will contain the desired gene and produce the protein it codes for.

- Useful in Agriculture and
Medicine
- Agriculture
- Crops can be genetically modified to be resistant
to herbicides. Making crops herbicide-resistant
means farmers can spray their crops to kill
weeds, without affecting the crop itself. This
increases crop yield, helping us to produce more
food for the population.

- Medicine
- Genetically engineering bacteria has helped to improve healthcare by
producing human insulin. Researchers transfer human genes, that
produce useful proteins, into sheep and cows E.G. human antibodies
used in therapy for illnesses like arthritis. These proteins are
extracted from the animal E.G. from their milk.
