genetic syndromes Flashcards
fragile X syndrome
- x linked dominant trinucleotide repeat CGG (chin, giant gonads) in the FMR1 gene
- loss of function of FMR1 gene on X chromosome (hypermethylation)
- features prominent after puberty
- long narrow face
- prominent chin and forehead
-hyperlaxity of joints
-developmental delay
klinefelter
- 47 XXY
- tall stature
- gynecomastia
- small testes
- infertility
hereditary fructose intolerance
aldolase B
- vomiting and hypoglycemia
-20 - 30 min after digestion
tay sachs disease
- auto recessive
- neurodegenerative disease
- lysosomal function disease (onion skin lysosomes)
- beta hexosaminadase A deficiency (no amenities for hicks)
- GM2 ganglioside (glycoplipid component of cell membranes) accumulation (2 gangsters) toxic to neurons
- regression of motor skills
- bright red fovea centralis - red cherry macula
- NO hepatosplenomegaly
- onset 6 months
niemann pick disease
-accumulation of sphingomyelin (toxic to brain and spinal cord)
-cherry red macula spots in eyes
-hepatosplenomegaly*
-lysosomal storage disease
-foam cells, lipid laden macrophages*
- neurodegeneration - loss of developmental milestones
heteroplasmy
-variable degrees of severity due to amount of mitochondrial DNA inherited
genomic imprinting
- inactivation of either paternal or maternal alleles
- prader willi and angelman syndrome
polygenic diseases
SHIT AGE
- schizophrenia
- hypertension
- ischemic heart disese
- T2D
- androgenic alopecia
alkaptonuria
autosomal recessive
deficiency of homogentisic acid dioxygenase
- deposits of blue sclera and blue ears
- ankylosis, motion restriction
Autosomal dominant Disease’s

tay sachs and Niemann pick genetic inheritance pattern
autosomal recessive
diseases with cherry red spot macula
tay sachs and Niemann pick
accumulation of spingomyelin

lysosomal storage disease with hepatosplenomegaly
niemann pick, gaucher,
lysosomal storage disorders are also
neurodegenerative diseases - motor regression
