chapter 5 Flashcards
Hereditary anemias (thalassemias)
- point mutations or deletions
- -mutation effects amount of globin chains synthesized
cystic fibrosis mutation
-3 base mutation= protein that lack phenylalanine
what chromosome does CF mutation occur on?
-CFTR gene on chromosome 7q31.2
fragile X mutation
-tandem repeats of sequence CGG within familial mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene
Tay-Sachs mutation
- 4 base insertion in hexosaminidase A gene leads to frameshift
- GM2 gangliosidase (cant catabolize) : hexosaminidase
what chromosome does Tay-Sachs mutation occur on ?
15
what is hallmark of Tay-Sachs?
-cherry red spot in macula
ABO blood type mutation
-single base deletion at ABO (glycosyltransferase locus
sickle cell anemia mutation
- defects in structure of globin molecule
- point mutation: valine replaces glutamic acid
Familial hypercholesterolemia mutation
- loss of LDL receptors
Osteogensis imperfecta
-reduction in collagen (spectrin) (RBC)
Huntingtons disease mutation
- gain of function
- trinucleotide repeat
- abnormal protein (huntington)
what enzyme do people with Phenylketonuria (PKU) lack?
-lack phenylalaine hydroxylase (PAH)
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency
-predisposes to RBC hemolysis in patients receiving certain types of drugs
Vitamin D-resistant rickets inheritance
(X linked dominant)
what enzyme do Galactosemia patients lack?
-deficiency of glactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferse
what enzyme do ppl with albinism lack?
tyrosinase
what is the deficiency in Lesch-Nyan syndrome?
- deficiency of end product which is a feedback inhibitor or early rxns
- results in overproduction of intermediate products (toxic)
Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency
unable to inactivate neutrophil elastase in lungs
-destruction of elastin in wall of lung alveoli leading to pulmonary emphysema
what is the defect in marfan syndrome?
fibrillin-1
