Disorders
Interpreting Pedigrees with Andrew Douch Interpreting Pedigrees the Fast Way –Example 1(6:42) Example 2 (6:46)
1. Is anyone with a phenotype different from parents?
2.Are there any girls with recessive phenotype who have a father or son with a dominant phenotype?
Autosomal Dominant X-linked dominantAutosomal Recessive X-linked recessive
Autosomal Dominant:trait does not skip generations
Autosomal Recessive: tends to skip generations
X-linked dominant: both males and females affecteddoes not skip generations
Affected sons have an affected mother
X-linked recessive: more males than females affected
Skips generations: affected sons from non-affected mothers
Testing for genetic disorders
Ultrasound imaging-a sonogram made from passing high-frequency sound waves with a transducer through the abdomen
(least invasive)
Testing for genetic disorders
Amniocentesis-a small amount of amniotic fluid, which contains fetal tissues, is sampled
Use cells for karyotyping
Testing for genetic disorders
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS)-take a sample of the placental tissue for chromosomal abnormalities
Can use cells for karyotyping
AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE
Autosomes = , chromosomes #1- #22
Cystic Fibrosis-ff
It causes the body to produce a thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and digestive tract.
On Chromosome 7Autosomal recessive

PKU
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
PKU on chromosome 12recessive
Lacks enzyme to break down the amino acid phenylalanine (found in milk)
PKU (cont.)
The breakdown products can be harmful to developing nervous systems
Leads to mental retardation.

TAY SACHS
Results in degeneration of the nervous system.
Chromosome 15recessive
Highest rate in Eastern European Jews, next Irish-Americans
Tay Sachs (cont)
Lack enzyme to break down fat, accumulates in brain (poisons it)

king the Code of Life | Watch the Program Here #3
Tay Sachs Disease is a fatal lipid storage disorder where a fatty substance (ganglioside) builds up in the nerve tissue and cells of the brain. This is caused by an insufficient enzyme called beta-hexosaminidase A that catalyzes the biodegration of gangliosides.
Tay-Sachs SymptomsSymptoms first appear at 4 to 6 months of age when an apparently healthy baby gradually stops smiling, crawling or turning over, loses its ability to grasp or reach out, and eventuallybecomes blind, paralyzed and unaware of its surroundings. Death usually occurs by age 4. Tay-Sachs PT (1:52)
Albinism
Inability to manufacture pigments (melanin) in skin and eyes
Autosomal recessive traitChromosome 11
Famous Albinos
Andy Warhol, a famous artist
Rock musician Edgar Winter, an albino.
“The Twins” in Matrix Reloaded
Is this an advantage or disadvantage?
Different kinds of albinism
affect chromosomes 1, 9, 10, 11, 15 and X (ocular albinism)
Often rapid back and forth eye movement – lack of pigment in eyes.
Polar bears actually have black skin under all that white fur.

Alzheimer Syndrome
Autosomal Dominant Found on Chromosome 1,
or 10, or 14, or 19, or 21 APO4, is a cholesterol-
carrying protein linked to development a protein that forms plaque in the brain

Early or mild stage:
memory loss, especially of recent events difficulty in recalling names and conversations misplacing objects becoming lost in familiar neighborhoods repeating stories and conversations difficulty in learning new information personality changes decreased motivation and drive easily upset or anxious

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
MD
Duchenne Muscular DystrophyOn Xm chromosomeWeakens and degenerates
musclesFound mostly in malesmutation in the dystrophin gene
DMD
absence of dystrophin, a protein that helps keep muscle cells intact.
-Leg muscles first.
-Calves often enlarged.
-Eventually this weakness spreads to the arms, neck, and other areas.
DMD
Onset ·Early childhood - about 2 to 6 years.
Symptoms · Generalized weakness of muscle
Wasting affecting limb and trunk
Duchenne Timeline (5:43)
DMD
Survival rare beyond late twenties.
X-linked recessive (females are carriers).
POLYGENIC DISORDERS
Determination of disorder occurs on more than one chromosome
SPINA BIFIDA
is a fault in the spinal column in which one or more vertebrae (the bones which form the backbone) fail to form properly, leaving a gap or split. A Snapshot of Spina Bifida (4:52)
Spina Bifida
#6, #14 and othersGap in spinal column
Shunts often put in the brain to drain the fluid
Agent Orange
Children with Spina Bifida whose parent was in contact with Agent Orange during the Vietnam War are compensated
Cleft Lip/Cleft Palate
A cleft is an opening in the lip, the roof of the mouth (hard palate) or the soft tissue in the back of the mouth (soft palate).

Clefts
Bilateral Complete Cleft Lip/Palate
Clefts occur more often among Asians and certain groups of American Indians than among whites. They occur less frequently among blacks.
Cleft lip/palate
As you can imagine there are feeding problems

Hypercholesterolemiapolygenic dominant
is the presence of high levels of cholesterol in the blood.

NOTE:
If you are born with no “X” chromosome- it is fatal
If missing an autosome-it is fatal
X chromosome
Sex-linked traits
Triple-X Syndrome
triplo-Xtrisomy XXXX syndrome47,XXX aneuploidy
There is usually no distinguishable difference to the naked eye between women with triple X and the rest of the female population.
Triple-X Syndrome
Although females with this condition may be taller than average, this chromosomal change typically causes no unusual physical features.
Most females with triple X syndrome have normal sexual development and are able to conceive children.
Nondisjunction
Chromosomes to segregate unevenly during meiosis
Mistakes in Meiosis
Down’s Syndrome
Trisomy 21Extra fold over eyeSluggish musclesMental problems
Trisomy 21 Karyotype
Nondisjunction
Turner’s Syndrome
Adults with Turner syndrome are short, averaging around four feet, eight inches in height.
Flap in neck
Small breasts
But girls with Turner syndrome don't start life as very short individuals - they become short over time-do not develop sexually
Turner’s Syndrome 45 X0
Kleinfelter’s 47 XXY
Kleinfelter’s
-Testes are small -breast growth (gynaecomastia) -poorly developed secondary sexual characteristics.
Klinefelter’s
Men are sterile (no sperm).
Special Topics In Human Genetics
BARR BODIES
When a female is born one of her X chromosomes is inactivated = a Barr Body (early in embryonic development)
Used to test femaledness at Olympics
So there is not excess of X info in females
Calico Cat – X linked
Only females have 3 colors (orange, black, white)

Multiple colors in cats mostly in females
