Q

Treacher collins incidence

Inheritance : New Mutations

54
Q

Treacher Collins

  1. Trait type
  2. gene
  3. Gene’s protein function (3)
A
  1. Autosomal Dominant: penetrance variable; 60% of cases the result of new mutations.
  2. Caused by various mutstions in TCOF1, a gene which codes the protein “treacle”
  3. Treacle is involved in ribosomal biogenesis
  4. Strongly expressed in the neural folds and pharyngeal arches of embryos
  5. With defective treacle, cranial neural crest sees reduced mitosis and increased apoptosis.
  6. Therefore facial defects occurr due to a lack of material.
