What is Autosomal Recessive Disorder

Technological Breakthroughs and Future Business Opportunities in Education, Health, and Outer Space
A hereditary disease where alleles in both paired autosomes need to be defective to cause symptoms.

Abstract
Progress in biomedical sciences and engineering will take mankind closer to a world without disease. The objective of this chapter is to review and forecast research and technologies that contribute to eliminating all diseases. In addition to improved traditional therapeutics such as medicinal chemicals, antibiotics, vaccines, and antibodies, DNA and RNA therapeutics will play key roles in addressing genetic, infectious, and chronic diseases by decreasing disease facilitating proteins or increasing disease suppressing proteins. Nanorobots will find and treat thrombosis and vascular stenosis caused by lipid deposits in the intima of arteries, as well as remove diseased tissues and repair injured tissues. Nanorobots will be much less invasive than keyhole surgical operations, and patients need almost no time to recover from their nanorobotic procedures. Thorough understanding of regeneration and repair mechanisms of injured tissues may make it feasible to regenerate injured or aged tissues and organs and to transplant organs grown in vitro.
