A laboratory test result that helps confirm the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the Antinuclear antibody (ANA) test. ANA is a screening test and patients with lupus always test positive but a positive test result does not confirm the diagnosis of lupus as the signs and symptoms differ from person to person.

It is possible that people with no or any other autoimmune diseases test positive for ANA but the test results would be less strongly positive in this case as compared to the one with autoimmune diseases.

Once tested positive for ANA test, the person remains positive hence, repetitive future ANA screening is not required. SLE is an autoimmune disease that can affect different organs in different people hence, a combination of tests is required to diagnose lupus and treat it accordingly.

<span>Two ways in which Latin American is involved in international affairs today are:
</span>1. Climate change emmission controls
2. Peacekeeping in the United Nations

With the exception of Mexico, all the larger Latin American economies are involved in UN peacekeeping operations. Mexico was not involved because its constitution did not permit the military to go out of the country until recently. Once the constitution changed, Mexico is now starting to participate in peacekeeping missions, starting with Haiti.

Why is it impossible from an individual to inherit a recessive condition if only one parent is a carrier for that condition

Jobisdone [24]

I added a picture of a badly-drawn cross as an example to help me explain. Let's say h is the recessive allele, in this case, that would cause a recessive condition. The heterozygous Hh parent is the carrier and they are being crossed with a homozygous dominant HH parent.

As you can see, all of the children are either homozygous dominants HH or heterozygous carriers Hh. None of the children can be homozygous recessive hh because there is not a recessive allele h to inherit from the other parent. Because H is dominant over h, the recessive condition won't be displayed.
