(F) Complex Mutagenic Disorders and Other Cytogenetic Phenomena Flashcards
He is a founder of?
Eugenics
Who is the founder of Eugenics?
Sir Francis Galton
the study of the physical and mental improvement of human race
Sir Francis Galton
Eugenics talaga ‘yon mali ko
Manual-based
He studied the inheritance of traits and observed what he called “blending” characters which is now known as quantitative traits or continuous variation, referring to gradation in phenotypic expressions wherein the phenotypes do not fall into distinct categories.

gradation
Manual-based
TOF. Some traits with multifactorial inheritance do not have gradations, “nonblending traits” or traits with discontinuous variation.
T
e.g., human ABO blood antigen system, round or wrinkled peas
DISORDERS WITH MULTIFACTORIAL INHERITANCE
It is an interaction between (2)
variant forms of genes and
environmental factors
DISORDERS WITH MULTIFACTORIAL INHERITANCE
TOF. It is a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, most of which have not yet been identified.
T
TOF. Complex genetic disorders develop when few polymorphisms are inherited, each of which vary minimally.
F
Mutagenics only develop when numerous poly are inherited, each of which vary in significance.
DISORDERS WITH MULTIFACTORIAL INHERITANCE
TOF. many polymorphisms, each with a modest effect and high penetrance
F (low penetrance)
u like dat
A genetic variant that has at least two alleles and occurs in at least 1% of the population
Polymorphism
the individual has a genetic susceptibility to develop a certain disease but does not mean that he is destined to have the disease.
Genetic predisposition
Complex Multigenic Disorders/ Multifactorial Inherited Disorders
TOF. Although he has the ability to prevent or eradicate the onset of the disorder.
F (one cannot change his genes, he can delay or prevent the onset of the disorder.)
Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, asthma, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and many more that occuris during aadulthood
Multigenic Disorder
TOF. No clear Mendelian pattern of inheritance, occur in isolation, with familial aggregation
T
TOF. Environmental influence can increase or decrease the risk of the disease.
T
TOF. Concordance rate between monozygotic and dizygotic twins CONTRADICT Mendelian proportion
T
contradicts to the mendelian pattern of inheritance kasi it has no distinct category
