Uner Tan Syndrome
2
Transcript
Treatment
- One of the relatives of one family affected with Uner Tan Syndrome was a physician and attempted physical treatment of the affected children, but without success.
- A mother forced her quadrupedal daughter to walk upright for six years, but without success.
- No real known treatment for Uner Tan.
Interesting Facts
- Mixing in their mutation with other issues that come from incest, like mental retardation, scientists believe that an ancient gene referred to our ancestors, the Apes, has filled in the gap the cerebellum was unable to provide.
- In other words, scientists believe that those with Uner Tan Syndrome are one of the many missing links in human evolution.
- They argue that they are experiencing the human evolution backwards.
Inheritance
The Ulas Family
- Recessive Gene
- It is not a sex linked gene since it's only available from incest.
- It is only inherited within family members. Dr. Tan said: "All of the individuals exhibiting Uner Tan syndrome belonged to kindred families, that is, the father and mother were close relatives, suggesting that an outcome in recessive transmission may be responsible for the syndrome."
- The Ulas family is a turkish family
- The Ulas Couple have a total of 17 children , 5 with Uner Tan Syndrome (was 6)
- Dr. Tan believed these unique children were proof of reverse evolution, meaning their genes traced back to their early ancestors who walked like apes
- Liza Shapiro and her colleagues disproving Tan’s hypothesis, state that research proves that the Ulas children walk on fours as an adaptation to their genetic condition.
Basic Information
Introduction to
Disease
- Uner Tan Syndrome is where the human body has no control of their balance and coordination, along with mental retardati n from incest.
- discovered by by a Turkish evolutionary biologist, Dr. Üner Tan in the year 2005
- a revolutionary breakthrough in the world of science that may possibly fill the gap of how we came t be
Symptoms
- Dysdiadochokinesis (inability to execute rapidly alternating movements particularly of the limbs)
- Dysmetria (involuntary rhythmic eye movement, with the eyes moving quickly in one direction, and then slowly in the other)
- Intention tremor (walking side by side)
- Dr. Üner Tan visited a family in his country
- He witnessed 4 family members, 3 women and 1 man, walking on all fours due to a genetic disorder they carry in their genes
Facts of the Disease
- Between 2005 and 2010, 10 families exhibiting the syndrome were discovered in Turkey: 14 women and 19 men.
- Including a few cases from other countries, there were 25 men and 14 women.
- The number of men significantly exceeded the number of women.
- It's more common in the Country of Turkey, where it was originally found.
