The human gene mutation database (HGMD) is a collection of published germ-line mutations in nuclear genes that underlie , or are closely associated with human inherited disease.

For identifying the pathogenic mutation among thousands to millions of genomic variant is a major challenges and prioritization strategies are required. Current strategies for Mendelian disease gene identification by exome re-sequencing.

Next generation sequencing (NGS) has been used to identify new pathogenic mutations and genes causing rare genetic diseases. The analyses of NGS data is not trivial and required a technically and biologically rigorous pipeline that address the data quality , accurate variant filtration to minimize mistakes.

Iven the equation representing a nuclear reaction in which x represents a nuclide: which nuclide is represented by x?

kaheart [24]

The nuclide represented as X is thorium and this is an alpha decay where an alpha particle is removed off.

<h3>What is nuclide?</h3>

A kind of atom or nucleus which is represented by a specific number of protons and neutrons.

The equation given represents an alpha decay. In an alpha decay, an alpha particle is removed off.

The atomic number of the parent nuclide is more than the daughter nuclide by two units and the mass number of the parent is more than that of the daughter nuclide by four units.

Thus, the x is thorium.

How much iv crystalloid fluid (per bolus) should you administer to a 4-year-old child with severe dehydration?

tamaranim1 [39]

The answer would be: d. 320 ml
Dehydration is a condition when the body fluid is depleted. Severe dehydration could be dangerous as depleted blood volume will decrease the oxygen delivery to the body. The treatment for dehydration would be fluid. It could be taken orally or intravenously. Bolus crystalloid fluid will be needed in a severe case to improve the condition of the patient.
