Genetic Disorders and Hemoglobin Structure

This lecture covers various genetic disorders transmitted through autosomal recessive and dominant modes, such as albinism, cystic fibrosis, and sickle-cell disease. It also delves into the structure and function of hemoglobin, explaining its role as an oxygen transporter and the cooperative effect in oxygen binding. The presentation includes details on sickled red blood cells, electrophoresis techniques for hemoglobin analysis, and the impact of different hemoglobin variants. Additionally, the instructor discusses the concept of allelic imbalance and the balanced expression of genes in different genetic scenarios.
