W e are currently undergoing a technological revolution in genetics. It is widely expected that these changes will bring major health benefits. However, the human genetics revolution also raises profound social and ethical problems, including a possible resurgence of eugenics. There is a widespread concern that genetics is running far ahead of society. s ability to cope with these issues. Human Genetics Alert (HGA) is an independent watchdog group based in London, UK, and is funded by a leading British charity. We are not opposed to genetic research. However, we are opposed to some developments, such as genetic discrimination, cloning and inheritable ('germ line') genetic engineering of human beings. We believe: Genetic research should be driven by genuine need rather than commercial imperatives or social and cultural prejudices Genetic technologies must be applied in away which does not exacerbate existing social inequalities, or create new ones Social problems should not be subjected to "genetic fixes" People must not be seen simply as determined by their genes The public must be able to democratically control human genetics Topics Human genetic engineering Cloning Genetic Selection Patents on life ...

45. Human Diversity (Richard Lewontin) A review by Danny Yee of Lewontin's introduction to human genetics and human biology. http://dannyreviews.com/h/Human_Diversity.html

Danny Yee's Book Reviews Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Human Diversity Richard Lewontin Scientific American Library 1995 A book review by Danny Yee Differences between people or groups of people, and the biological bases of such differences, are common subjects for dinner-party debates and mass-media stories, especially when sex, intelligence, or race are involved. But popular thinking in this area is beset with confusions - perhaps not surprisingly given that such confusions and inaccuracies are all too common amongst scientists and scholars, even in fields such as anthropology. A straightforward, accessible explanation of the realities of human biological diversity, Human Diversity therefore answers a vital need. In Human Diversity Lewontin sticks to straight science, taking a less polemical approach than in Not in Our Genes (co-authored with Leon Kamin and Steven Rose). He begins with a broad overview of human variety, of social, sexual, and regional differentiation. (This and three other chapters are illustrated with short photo-essays.) Then in a key chapter "genes, environment, and organism" he outlines the relationships between the causal forces that shape human beings, explaining the basics of development and the importance of norms of reaction. The interconnection of the biological and the social is a theme that runs through Human Diversity , but Lewontin is a population geneticist rather than an anthropologist and his primary focus is on biological, and in particular genetic, diversity. In three chapters he explains the basics of genetics and genetic variation, illustrated with examples from

Coordinator : Prof Sue Povey Adminstrator :Marina Press hgadmin@galton.ucl.ac.uk Home This is a centre without walls, to provide a means of communication between all those involved in Research into or Teaching of Human Genetics at UCL. Knowledge of Human Genetics has increased at an astounding rate in the past five years. Most single gene defects have been localised to chromosomes and several hundred have been precisely identified. Early diagnosis even at the preimplantation stage of development is in some cases a reality and active research on gene therapy is in progress. The complete DNA sequence of the human genome is expected to be available soon. The emphasis in now gradually moving towards the more complex problems of multifactorial disease including disorders such as heart disease, epilepsy and the common cancers as well as the very complicated syndromic developmental abnormatlities. Publicity about human genetics in the media has led to greatly increased public expectations, especially in regard to individual assessment of genetic risks. Membership Seminars Workshops Jobs ...

The central theme of the VPHG is the understanding of how genes influence complex traits; traits that are influenced by the intricate interplay of multiple genes and environmental factors. This encompasses research at the molecular, clinical, and population levels performed by faculty in multiple departments and schools. Need help tracking your DNA samples?

A gamete lacking a chromosome cannot produce a viable embryo. Occasionally a gamete with n+1 chromosomes can produce a viable embryo. In humans, nondisjunction is most often associated with the 21st chromosome, producing a disease known as Down's syndrome (also referred to as trisomy 21). Sufferers of Down's syndrome suffer mild to severe mental retardation, short stocky body type, large tongue leading to speech difficulties, and (in those who survive into middle-age), a propensity to develop Alzheimer's Disease. Ninety-five percent of Down's cases result from nondisjunction of chromosome 21. Occasional cases result from a translocation in the chromosomes of one parent. Remember that a translocation occurs when one chromosome (or a fragment) is transferred to a non-homologous chromosome. The incidence of Down's Syndrome increases with age of the mother, although 25% of the cases result from an extra chromosome from the father. Click
