Dr Brian D. Tait | The Impact of Haplotyping on Disease Inheritance and Clinical Treatment

Aug 23, 2023 | biology, health and medicine

About this episode

Humans inherit a version of each gene – an allele – from each parent. Through standard DNA analysis, it is not possible to know which allele of a given gene came from the mother and which came from the father. Understanding which allele came from which parent is known as ‘haplotyping’ or ‘genetic phasing’. This is particularly important when a gene has multiple changes in the gene sequence – called mutations. Read More
