FISH Flashcards
What is contiguous gene syndrome?
region in genome where a group of adjcacent cells are related to a particular clinical outcome, even thoughindividually, the normal functions of those genes are unrelated
What chrosome is associated with the Continguous Gene Syndrome, WAGR?
11P (11p13 short arm) (Wilmms tumor, Aniridia, Genitourinary, Retardation)
What chrosome is associated with the Continguous Gene Syndrome, Miller-Dierker/ Lissencephaly?
17 p
What chrosome is associated with the Continguous Gene Syndrome, Williams Syndrome?
7q
What chrosome is associated with the Continguous Gene Syndrome, VCFS? How many genes does this correspond to?
22Q; 40 genes, 8 pseudogenes- they are unknown
What type of Syndrome is a 1p and Prader Willi/Angelman syndrome?
Contiguosu Gene syndrome
What protein is lost as a result of the gene deletion in Willams syndrome? Clinical symptoms?
elastin; coarse skin and hair, lack of flexibility in the aorta, supravalvular aortic stenosis, skeleteal/joint limitations, renal anomalies,, excellent musical skills
What’s the most common gene chip technologies? How does it function?
Gene array;s ; looks specifically at DNA sequences of interest. Expressive arrays look at gene product s to understand which genes are being expressed in a particular cell type at a particular time. Chromosome Array How function: A test dna is compared to a reference DNA that has a known genetic complement., ID hybridized DNAand flourescent signal.
What chromosome can SOX5 be found in? what is it sox5 important For?
Chromosome 12;; development
What technology should be used for UNEXPLAINED developmental delay, intellectual disaility, autism spectrum disorders, multiple congential nanomalies?
Microarrays
Order the tecnhnology application based on size of abnomrality of gene/genome from smallest to largest ( Molecular Diagnostics, karyotype, FISH)
Molecular Diagnostics (1-300bp), Microarray (1 Kb to large) Fish (10 Kb-10MB), Karyotype (>3Mb)
Which diagnostic technology cannot detect balanced rearrangements?
Array
Which technology cannot detect known mutations >10 Kb?
Karyotype
Which technologies can diagnose a known genetic ysndrome-anueploidy or structural (DS)?
Karyotype and FISH
Which technologies can diagnose a known moolecular mutution?
Molecular Diagnostics (1-300bp), Microarray (1 Kb to large) Fish (10 Kb-10MB), Karyotype (>3Mb)
