Q

Inheritance - inborn errors of metabolism
Examples (5)

A

Gaucher disease
PKU
Tay Sach’s
Homocystinuria
Glycogen storage disease

23
Q

Genetic abnormality in Huntington’s Disease
- Chromosome

A

Trinucelotide repeat
Chromosome 4

24
Q

Genetic abnormality in Frederich’s Ataxia
- Inheritance
- Chromosome

A

Trinucelotide repeat
Autosomal recessive
Chromosome 9

25
Q

Trinucelotide repeat disorders
- What do they demonstrate?
- Effect of age?

A

Genetic anticipation = presents at earlier age with each generation
Repeats expand with age = somatic instability

26
Q

Inheritance - G6PD deficiency

A

X linked recessive

27
Q

Inheritance - Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy
- Mutation type
- Severity

A

X linked recessive
Duchenne = nonsense mutation, more severe
Becker = in frame mutation, less severe

28
Q

MHC
- What is it?
- Where is it found?

A

Major histocompatibility complex
- Chromosome 6

29
Q

Class I MHC
- Where found?
- Subclasses?
- Immune response cell?

A

All nucleated cells
HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA C - get one each from each parent
CD8+ T cells respond - involved in ACUTE rejection

30
Q

Class II MHC
- Where found (3)?
- Subclasses?
- Immune response cell?

A

Dendritic cells, B cells, monophagocytes
DR2, DR3, DR4
CD4+ T cells

31
Q

HLA3

A

Haemochromatosis

32
Q

Haemochromatosis

A

HLA-A3

33
Q

A

HLA DR2

38
Q

HLA DR3 (6)

A

Dermatitis herpetiformis/coeliac disease
T1DM
Grave’s Disase
SLE
PBC
Myaesthenia gravis

39
Q

Dermatitis Herpetiformis

A

HLA DR3

40
Q

Acute transplant rejection
- Immune cell in control
- How occurs

A

T cell mediated
- dendritic cells found in transplant migrate to local lymph nodes and activate T cells

41
Q

T1DM

A

HLA DR3
HLA DR4

42
Q

Rheumatoid Arthritis

A

HLA DR4
- Specifically DRB1

43
Q

Hyperacute rejection
- Immune cell in control
- How occurs

A

B cell mediated
- Antibodies formed due to previous sensitisation BIND to endothelium
- Destruction of implant

44
Q

Genetic mutation associated with prostate cancer

A

BRAC2
(also BRAC1 but not as much)

45
Q

Mode of inheritance - frederich’s ataxia

A

Autosomal recessive
Frederichs ataxia is excessive (recessive)

46
Q

Association with Oropharyngeal cancer

A

HPV 16/18

47
Q

Which part of the cell cycle determines the length?

A

G1 - cell spends most of its time here: prepares for DNA replication

48
Q

Translocation associated with follicular lymphoma

A

14:18

49
Q
A
50
Q

Translocation asscoiated with AMPL

A

15:17
