Dimples can be seen on one or both cheeks. Not everyone has dimples, some have them and some don't. Dimples are believed to form based on differences in the muscles and skin on the face.

Inherited metabolic disorders are metabolic disorders that are determined by genes. Most people with inherited metabolic disorders carry genes that cause deficiencies in certain enzymes. There are hundreds of types of inherited metabolic disorders, each with its own unique symptoms, treatment, and prognosis.

For most chromosomes, uniparental disomy (UPD) occurs without any serious clinical consequences. However, for chromosomes with genetic imprints, the expression of some genes with genetic imprints from the father and mother is different in the case of UPD, which can lead to the expression of some genetic syndromes.

Eye color depends on the amount of melanin pigment stored in the front layers of the iris. Melanocytes produce melanin pigment, which is stored in intracellular compartments called melanosomes. Everyone has roughly the same number of melanocytes, but the amount of melanin and the number of melanosomes in the melanocytes vary. So what determines a person's eye color?

Hyperlipidemia is now becoming common in the community and tends to progress to many cardiovascular diseases, however, most patients have not been diagnosed and treated properly. When grandparents, parents, siblings, or close relatives have hyperlipidemia, you are also at risk of hyperlipidemia. Familial hyperlipidemia (FH) is a genetic disease when the family carries gene mutations that disrupt fat metabolism, causing high blood cholesterol levels. Advances in genetic testing have helped us better understand this disease, and many genetic mutations have been identified as the cause of the disease.

Imaging techniques play a very important role in detecting cancer, thereby providing timely treatment for patients. Currently, there are many cancers that can be detected early thanks to imaging tests.
