	Asymptomatic carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An asymptomatic carrier (or carrier), is a person who is infected with an infectious disease or carries the abnormal gene of a recessive genetic disorder, but displays no symptoms.
		Mary Mallon, known as "Typhoid Mary", was an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid fever.
		The daughters of Queen Victoria, the princesses Alice and Beatrix, were asymptomatic carriers of the X-linked hemophilia gene (more precisely, an abnormal allele of a gene necessary to produce one of the blood clotting factors).

		Three of the four manifesting carriers, four of the five asymptomatic carriers, and 31 of the 32 female controls were heterozygous for the CAG repeat of HUMARA.
		The manifestation of mild to severe symptoms in female carriers of dystrophin mutations is often the result of the preferential inactivation of the X chromosome carrying the normal dystrophin gene.
		These twins carry a deletion, approximately 300 kb in length, in one of their X chromosomes within the dystrophin gene, which is responsible for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in one twin [Richards et al.: Am J Hum Genet 46:672-681, 1990].

		Since the mutations causing the disease are recessive, a woman carrying the defect on one of her X-chromosomes will not be affected by it, as the equivalent allele on her other chromosome would express itself to produce the necessary clotting factors.
		Since a man receives his single X-chromosome from his mother, the son of a healthy woman silently carrying the deficient gene will have a 50% chance of inheriting that gene from her and with it the disease.
		Prenatal testing, such as amniocentesis, is available to pregnant women who may be carriers of the condition.

	Natural Histories of HCV Infection in Men and Women Simulated by the Markov Model (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Based on 2,251 patient-year data, the probabilities of transition between any two of the four clinical states, i.e., asymptomatic carrier state, chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in one year were calculated.
		Probability matrices thus obtained on six each subsets of HCV infection (asymptomatic carrier state, chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis in men and women) in their forties, fifties, and sixties, were used to simulate long-term outcomes of HCV infection.
		Male asymptomatic carriers aged 40 years were expected to retain the asymptomatic carrier state in 2.6%, evolve into chronic hepatitis in 48.4%, liver cirrhosis in 14.6% and hepatocellular carcinoma in 34.4% after 30 years when they reached 70 years of age, in contrast to 1.9%, 45.3%, 32.8% and 20.0%, respectively, of female asymptomatic carriers.
