As someone newly learning about Familial Dysautonomia (FD), I need to understand its core aspects. Please navigate to the 'About FD' section and identify at least three key characteristics or symptoms of FD. Additionally, state how many people are currently living with FD worldwide, and explain how the condition is inherited according to the information on the page.
Navigate to 'familialdysautonomia.org'. Click on the 'About Us' link (ID 81). Click on the 'About FD' link (ID 104) within the sub-navigation menu. Read the content on the 'About FD' page to identify at least three key characteristics or symptoms of Familial Dysautonomia. Locate the number of people currently living with FD worldwide. Find the explanation of how FD is inherited. Synthesize the identified characteristics/symptoms, the number of people affected, and the inheritance mechanism.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'About FD' page (URL: familialdysautonomia.org/about/facts). The agent identifies and states at least three key characteristics or symptoms of Familial Dysautonomia (e.g., affects autonomic and sensory nervous systems; reduced sensitivity to pain and temperature; inability to produce tears; unstable blood pressure and body temperature; 'autonomic crises'; poor growth; inability to suck or swallow). The agent states that only 350 people are currently living with FD worldwide. The agent explains that FD is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, when both otherwise healthy parents pass on their copy of a mutated IKAP gene to their unborn child.
