Jan Mohr, the Glossary

Index Jan Mohr

Jan Gunnar Faye Mohr (10 January 1921 – 17 March 2009) was a Norwegian-Danish physician and geneticist, known for his discovery of the first cases of autosomal genetic linkage in man, between the Lutheran blood groups and the ABH-secretor system, and between these and the hereditary disease myotonic dystrophy.[1]

Cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive manner that impairs the normal clearance of mucus from the lungs, which facilitates the colonization and infection of the lungs by bacteria, notably Staphylococcus aureus.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a polymer composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix.

See Jan Mohr and DNA

Emeritus

Emeritus (female version: emerita) is an honorary title granted to someone who retires from a position of distinction, most commonly an academic faculty position, but is allowed to continue using the previous title, as in "professor emeritus".

European Society of Human Genetics

The European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) is a non-profit organization that promotes research, facilitates communication and encourages best practice in applications of human and medical genetics, particularly in Europe.

Genetic linkage

Genetic linkage is the tendency of DNA sequences that are close together on a chromosome to be inherited together during the meiosis phase of sexual reproduction.

See Jan Mohr and Genetic linkage

Geneticist

A geneticist is a biologist or physician who studies genetics, the science of genes, heredity, and variation of organisms.

See Jan Mohr and Geneticist

Genome

In the fields of molecular biology and genetics, a genome is all the genetic information of an organism.

See Jan Mohr and Genome

Hans Eiberg

Hans Eiberg (born 8 April 1945) is a Danish geneticist, known for his discovery of the genetic mutation causing blue eyes. Jan Mohr and Hans Eiberg are Danish geneticists and Danish scientists.

Heredity

Heredity, also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring; either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents.
