Animals avoid inbreeding only rarely. [2] Inbreeding results in homozygosity which can increase the chances of offspring being affected by recessive traits. [3] In extreme cases, this usually leads to at least temporarily decreased biological fitness of a population [4] [5] (called inbreeding depression), which is its ability to survive and ...

Carriers can be female or male as the autosomes are homologous ...
Blood from DEA 1.1 positive dogs should never be transfused into DEA 1.1 negative dogs. If it is the dog's first transfusion the red cells transfused will have a shortened life due to the formation of alloantibodies to the cells themselves and the animal will forever be sensitized to DEA 1.1 positive blood.
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials on Thursday approved drugmaker BioMarin's gene therapy for the most common form of hemophilia, a $2.9 million infused treatment that can significantly reduce ...
