genetics Flashcards
Oteogenisis inperfecta
gen bone dis. gene defect COLIA1 and COLIA, def collagen type1
BITE: Bones=multiple fractures I= (eye)= blue sclera Teeth=dental imperfection Ear=hearing loss
Ehler-Danlos syndrome
faulty collagen synthesis causing hyperextensilble skin, cassical type (joint mobility and skin symptoms), mutation of type V collagen COL5A1, COL5A2,
vascular type:(fragile tissues including vessels eg AORTA and organ rapture type 3, procollagen eg COL3A1
Menkes disease
impaired copper absorption,decreased lysyl oxidase
X-linked recessive connective tissue disease caused by impaired copper absorption and transport due to defective Menkes protein (ATP7A, vs ATP7B in Wilson disease). leads to decreased lysyl oxidase (copper is a nessary cofactor)—->defectice collagen, brittle, kinky hair, growth retardation, and hypotania
Marfan syndrome is?
affected chromosome?
affected gene?
affected organs?
autosomal dominant cennective tissue disorder affecting skeleton, heart and eyes. FBN1 gene mutation on chromone 15 (fiteen) results in in defective fibrillin
Rett syndrome
sporadic disorder seen almost exclusively in girls( affected males die in utero). de novo mutation of MECP2 and X-Chromosome—-loss of motor skills and speech
Fragile X sy.
x-linked dominant. trinuclide repeat FMR1 gene, macroorchidism, large ears, long face, mitral valve prolapse
trinuclide repeat expasion diseases are?
hutington, myotic dystrophy, fragile X, friedreich atxia
down sy.
5 A’s: advanced maternal age, atrisia, ASD, alzheimer, AML/ALL
edwars
Prince Edward, elction at 18, prominant occiput, rockerbottom feet, interlectual, clenched fist, ears
patau is?
Chromosme?
organs affected?
you can wath a movie at 13, P’s, cleft liP/Palate, holoPracencephaly, Polydactyly, curis aPlasia, congnital (Pump) heart disease. PKD
Which blotting procedures are there?
SNoW DRoP
Southwestern=DNA
Northern=RNA
Western=Protein
what Roberson translocation are there?
13,14,15,21
cri du chat
deletion on chromosome 5, microcephalis, intelectual, VSD
williams
microdelition chrom 7 elfin face, friendly, intelectual
prader willi
chrom 15, prader has no dad
angelMan
UBE3A paternal derived gene silenced (imprinted) Maternal deletion, happy puppet: inappropriate laughter, seizures ataxia
what is mosaism?
presence of genetical distinct cell line in the same individual, mutation arises from mitotic error and propagates through multiple organs/tissues
locus heterogenietic
diff loci can produce the same phenotye, albinism
allelic hetergenecity
diff mutation in the same loci produce the same phenotype
heteroplasmy
presence of normal and mutated mtDNA, resulting invariable expression in mitochondrially inherited diseases
uniparental distomy
offsping has 2 copies of chromosomes from 1 parent and no copies from the other parents. prader willi
duchenne
x-linked disorder due to frameshift deletion or nonesense mutation
duchenne= deleted dystrophin
ELISA
immulogic test used to detect the presence of an antibody. higly senstive and specific, but less specific than the western blott
microassay
thousands of nucleic acds sequences are arrenge in a grid, detects the amound of complimentary binding, able to detect sigle nucleutide plymorhisms SNP’S and copy number varans (CNV’S). Application: genotyping, clinical genetic testing, foreign analysis, cancer mutations, and genetic linkage analysis
