Cards

Term
Gross Mutation
Definition
Change in chromosome structure, most don't survive, low prevalence
Term
Multifactorial Genetic Disease
Definition
Multiple genes contribute to risk of disease along with environmental factors, most prevalent.
Term
Hardy Weinberg Equation
Definition
p^2+2pq+q^2 = 1, 2pq becomes 2q for low frequency disease
Term
Hardy Weinberg Assumptions (5 things)
Definition
Large Population, Random mating, Low Mutation Rate, Little Selection, No Gene flow/migration
Term
The rarer the disorder the _____ the carrier to homozygote ratio
Definition
larger
Term
Coefficient of Relationship; Parent/Child, Siblings, Uncle/Neice, First Cousns and Second Cousins
Definition
1/2, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/32
Term
Nonrandom Mating (3 types)
Definition
Affects gene frequency
Stratification; differences in allele frequency in different populations
Cosanguinity; increases carrier mating frequency
Assortive Mating; increases allel frequency due to likelihood of mating; deaf community
Term
Relationship Coefficients
A) Parent/Child
B) Siblings
C) Uncle-Neice
D) First Cousins
E) Second Cousins
Definition
A) 1/2
B) 1/2
C) 1/4
D) 1/8
E) 1/32
Term
Ellisvan Crevald
Definition
Example of founder effect in Amish
Term
Fitness
Definition
0 means you have no offspring, genetic lethal, S=1, all alleles lost
Term
Examples of founder effect
Definition
HD in venezuela, thalassemia in medeteranian
Term
Example of Multifact diseases
Definition
Hirschprung, Cleft, Spinobifida
Term
Concordance studies
Definition
Twin pair to see if disease are truly genetic
Term
Pyloric Stenosis
Definition
Men have lower threshold so less liability because since it takes less they usually have less of the genetic contribution
Term
Risk increases with number of _____ relatives
Definition
affected
