3.4 genetics 2 Flashcards
3 types of inheritance
autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, sex linked
who has the trait in autosomal dominant diseases?
heterozygous
what is variability? where can it be seen?
different expression of trait based on the amount of expression, heterozygous individuals for autosomal dominant
who has the trait in autosomal recessive diseases?
homozygous recessive individuals (heterozygous does not show the trait)
sex linked alleles can be found on what chromosome?
X
Females with one allele of a sex linked disease are _____ but if they have male children that inherit this allele they will _____
carriers, have the trait
what can you deduce from this pedigree?
-dad is affected, so are kids (2/3)
- both M and F, doesn’t skip a generation
-most likely autosomal dominant
how does dentinogenesis imperfecta show?
translucent brown teeth (teeth can vary gray to blue to brown)
blue-ish sclera
what is dentinogenesis imperfecta a feature of?
osteogenesis imperfecta
dentinogenesis imperfecta is caused by a defect in the _____ gene
COL1 A1/2
what is cleidrocranial dysplasia?
- autosomal dominant condition
- dysplasia of bone/teeth
- small facial bones, low nasal bridge, hypertelorism, deafness
-can put shoulders together
in Cleidocranial dysplasia the primary dentition appears ______ and is frequently incomplete
late
what is secondary dentition like in Cleidocranial dysplaia?
late, malaligned, some teeth malformed/hypoplastic, supernumerary teeth
-enamel hypoplasia
what causes cleidocranial dysplasia
mutations of CBFA1
what is crouzons syndrome?
a genetic syndrome in which the seams of the skull fuse abnormally
what is brachycephaly?
appearance of short/broad head
_______ is bulging eyes due to shallow eye sockets after early fusion of surrounding bones
Exophthalmos
_____ is greater than normal distance between the eyes
hypertelorism
what is the name for a beak-like nose?
psittichorhina
hypoplastic maxilla
not long/wide enough
how can crouzons syndrome affect teeth/bite
- narrow/high arched palate
- posterior lingual cross-bite
- hypodontia (missing)
-increased spacing
what is Crouzons syndrome caused by?
mutations in FGFR2 gene
what is oligodontia?
missing teeth
two known causes of oligodontia?
PAX9, MSX1
