Gene mapping question.

Faulty gene question, I'm REALLY scared?

  • My uncle has been found to carry a faulty gene which increases his risk of particular cancers. My mum + I don't have the faulty gene. My worry is, he has some chickens and I ate some of his chickens eggs!!!! now I thought I might pick up the faulty gene..will I ?????:(((

  • Answer:

    Are you saying your uncle gave his chickens the faulty gene??? Now you've thought of everything Joseph! Changing your picture is not a good disguise when you turn around and ask crazy questions like this. I doubt your uncle was "tested." He has no reason to. I told you about those conditions and now, all of a sudden, your uncle has one...which one does he have?? You didn't even know about that syndrome till I told you Joe.. Unless he had certain cancers before a certain age, there would be no reason to be tested. Actually Joe, you stated many times that you were not tested.... And again, this is the first time you've mentioned a syndrome from the dozens of questions you've asked about brain tumors....

Joseph, I really think you need to seek help from a therapist to deal with your health anxiety. You've been posting about this faulty gene thing for months now. No matter what the story really is, if you were tested for some gene and do not have it, then there is no reason to worry. Cancer CANNOT be transmitted via chickens or eggs. Genes CANNOT be transmitted via chickens or eggs. That very question shows me that either you are trying to start trouble, or that you have such severe anxiety that you can't even understand the basic concept of cancer, and you need help.

Firstly, a faulty gene can't be passed on from your uncle to his chickens, so the chickens should be perfectly safe. And secondly even if the chicken did acquire the faulty gene, you wouldn't get it just through eating it as genes are passed on through reproduction. You are 100% safe =D

Yes. You will pick up a faulty gene through eating eggs from his chickens. That is how genetics work.
