Q

Genomic imprinting

A

gene defect expressed solely based on sex of parent passing on defective gene
ie, mother passes on 11q abnormality of chromo 15- Angelman, but w/ father, Prader-will. (Paternal prader willi)

Q

Abnormal Morpho

A

Malformation- intrinsincally abnormal process forms abnormal tissue (bladder extrophy b/c infraumb mesenchyme doesn’t migrate)
Deformation- mech forces on normal tissue => abnormal
Disruption- normal tissue becomes abnormal after destructive forces (ischemia, hypoxia)
Syndrome- unrelated abnormal features in a familiar patter
