Term
question
Definition
answer
Term
normal mice and cells can be called?
Definition
wild type
Term
people are normal or...
Definition
affected
Term
genes are mutant and ppl are not
Definition
nothing here
Term
locus
Definition
position on a chromosome
Term
allele
Definition
alternative form of a gene
Term
homozygouse
Definition
same allels at a locus
Term
heterozygous
Definition
different allels at a locus
Term
geneotype
Definition
genetic constitution
Term
phenotype
Definition
physical observation (disease)
Term
dominant
Definition
heterozygote has phenotype
Term
recessive
Definition
homozygouse has phenotype
Term
clinical heterogeneity
Definition
same gene (at different location) has a mutation that leads to a different disease aka multiple endocrine neoplasia and hirschprungs
Term
genetic heterogeneity: allelic heterogeneity
Definition
different mutation on the same gene has the same disease result aka CF
Term
locus heterogeneity
Definition
different mutations on different genes result in the same disease aka retinis pigmentosa (38 genes)
Term
proband
Definition
first person in family tree with the disease
Term
consultand
Definition
who brings the disease into the doctors attnetion
Term
age on a pedigree tree
Definition
is listed oldest first left to right
Term
if 1 parent has Aa in Autosomal dominace and the other has aa, what is the probability of the child having disease
Definition
0.5
Term
what is the difference in probablility of males and femals getting an Autosomal dominace disease
Definition
equal probability
Term
in addition to age and race what other factors are important to know when looking at family history
Definition
country of origin, anyone in family who has died and with what illness, what age did they die, etc
Term
haploinsufficiency
Definition
A.D. - half of the normal protein is not enough, need all of normal protein for proper function, 1/2 the normal gene only produces 1/2 the normal protein, 1/2 the normal gene only produces 1/2 the normal protein
Term
dominant negative
Definition
A.D. mutant protein can soak up the functional activity of the normal protein making it not work or decreasing function
Term
Gain of function
Definition
A.D. when mutant protein results in a new function that is differenat than normal function
Term
suppressors/ loss of heterozygosity
Definition
A.D. a protein that was supposed to normally stop some function can no longer do so because it is mutant and therfore that molecular process cannot be suppressed
Term
autosomal dominance
Definition
-1 copy of gene can be mutant
Term
familial adenomatous polyposis - what type of gnetic disease
Definition
Autosomal dominant
Term
4 traits of autosomal dominant disease
Definition
1. vertical transmistion 2. male and female at equal risk, 3. all affected have an affected parent USUALLY 4. 50% risk to each pregnancy usually assuming only 1 parent has it and is Aa
Term
5 things that can fool you for A.D inheritance
Definition
penetrance, advance paternal age, delayed onset, variable expressivity, anticipation
Term
Advanced paternal age define and 1 disease
Definition
new mutation cause autosomal dominance trait rather than family history due to older age of parents at conception, in achondroplasia 80% of affected individuals come from a new mutations rather than family history and will be a genetic condtion for that family from then on
Term
Nonpenetrance
Definition
disease skips a generation
Term
obligate heterozygote
Definition
the individual that has the AD allele in blood but does not express trait (skipped person)
Term
delayed onset define and disease
Definition
when the disesase does not show up until later in life . ppl have kids before disease shows up which spreads disease to children, huntingtons avg age on onset is 38 years
Term
variable expressivity define and 2 disease
Definition
disease can be extreme or have very minimal effects. makes it hard to know how the diesase will affect the pateint. Stays the same degree throughout life time. neurofibromatosis 1 and holoproencaphaly, marfan syndrome
Term
anticipation
Definition
as you move through the pedicgree there is earlier onset in newer generations due to more repeats in DNA as you ge tto the bottom of the pedigree
Term
Things to consider for AD (5)
Definition
germline mosaicism, phenocopy, non-paternity, somatic mosaicism
Term
germline mosaicism
Definition
parents have mutation stored in gameets but dont have the trait, can pass it on to thier children. Easy to find in male sprem. If two children have diesases but family does not , it is good to look at germline mosiacism as a reason
Term
phenocopy
Definition
the same disease has different etiologies (ages) and different causes could be for each (enviornment vs gene)
Term
non-paternity
Definition
when the presumed father is not the biological father by father or physician , happens 5-10% of the time, considered ne wmutaitons
Term
somatic mosaicism
Definition
disease can affect multiple cell lines and tissues. when it affects 1 tissue nothing ahppens, but if it affects the other the disease sshows
Term
% chance to get A. R recesssive allel from each parent with a recessive allel
Definition
0.5
Term
% risk of AR disease if both parents are carrier, % of not being affected or carrier
Definition
both are 25%
Term
what is the probability of having 3 affected children with an autosome recessive disease if both parents are carrieres
Definition
1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/64
Term
autosomal recessive need what 2 conditions
Definition
large sub ships or consanguinity because the traist appear sporadic other wise
Term
Examples of A.R diseases
Definition
Tay sachs (red cherry spot), beta-thalassemia (bone marrow expansion in unorthodox areas),
Term
are males or females normally affected by x linked recessive
Definition
males
Term
are sons of affected fathers affected or not affected
Definition
not affected because father gives the y
Term
are daughters of effected father affected or not affected
Definition
they are atleast obligate carriers
Term
example of x linked recessive
Definition
hemophilia A of factor 8 deficiency
Term
characterisitcs of x linked recessive (6)
Definition
full expression in males, males ore hemizygous, femalse can sometimes be affected if father is affected and mother is a carrier or if one x is inactivated due to lyonization, daughter of affected males are all obligate carriers ATLEAST, sons of affected fathers are normal
Term
if x linked recessive is common what will yo u see? example of common x linked recessive disease
Definition
male to male transmission due to more females being carriers as well as more affected femalse G6P defficiency
Term
Example of X linked dominant
Definition
congenital generalized hypertrichosis (hair face), incontinentia pigmenti (swirls of skin), rett syndrome (hand ringing)
Term
characteristics of x linked domoinant (2)
Definition
1. no male to male transmission because 2. disease is mostly lethal for male or manifests differently in males
Term
almost all mitochondrial info comes from mother or father
Definition
mother
Term
heteroplasmy
Definition
degree of mitochondria or tissue that is affected with disease, can be different or variable among siblings
Term
Examples of Mitochondrial disease
Definition
MELAS
Term
Why is mitochondrail disease used for forensics
Definition
because it is easy to track female lineage and it is also more stable than the longer genetic copy because more copies per cell
Term
mitochondrial disease phenotype depends on..(5)
Definition
oxphos capacity of tissue, # of mitochondria, oxphos reqquired, age, degree of heteroplasmy
