In addition, a genetic disorder may also occur when a person has the wrong amount of…

Introduction The paper by Nipa and Allen (2020) focused on disease emergence in multi-patch stochastic epidemic models with demographic and seasonable variability. The investigation uses stochastic models in formulating variability that is both seasonal and demographic. Estimating a disease outbreak is through multi-type branching and application of backward Kolmogorov differential equation. Description of the Problem…

Introduction The causal factor for Tay-Sachs disease is a genetic mutation occurring in the HEXA gene (Yerramilli-Rao, Giannikopoulos, Kublis, Pan, & Eichler, 2012). Genetic mutations represent a lasting modification in the DNA chain that forms the gene; this results in the malfunction of one or many progressions in a persons body. Tay-Sachs disease is an…
