Q

Name syndrome inherited in uniparental disomy?

A

Chromosome 15

> Angelman
- Angel-MAMA
- loss of maternal copy where dad’s gene usually imprinted (silenced)
= no expression of critical gene

> Prader-Willi

  • PAPA-Willi
  • critical paternal part missing and maternal part normally imprinted (silenced)

Why do we do DNA testing in kids with CF?

A

Give parents an idea about prognosis.

Healthy sister of young man with CF wants to start family. Chance o being carrier:

  • 5%
  • 25%
  • 33%
  • 50%
  • 67%
A

CF= AR
50% chance carrier

BUT b/c you know by this age she is not affected you remove that form stats and = 2/3

Q

What does genomics imprinting mean?

A

Gene expressed only from one copy (maternal or paternal) as parental original “marked” by reversible epigenetic mechanism (like methylation)

95

TS

  • autistic like
  • infantile spasm
  • cardiac rhabdomyoma

  • short
  • webbed neck
  • broad chest + wide nipple
  • bicuspid aorta, coarc.
  • renal anomalies (horseshoe)
  • infertility, ovarian dysgenesis
  • visual spatial difficulties

98
Q

T or F: micro deletion or duplication are detectable by array.

A

True.

i.e. DiGeorge, Williams, Angelman

99
Q

How is Sotos inherited?

A 
AD
Specific gene mutation
Key:
- facies (long face, frontal bossing, pointing chin)
- learning disability
- overgrowth
100
Q

Which imprinting dx are with chromosome 15 vs. 11?

A

Imprinting Disorders=

11= Beckwith / Russell Silver
= Hypomethylation

15= Prader Willi/ Angelman
“ PAPA-MAM at 15”
= Deletion

101
Q

Describe Russell Silver Syn

A
  • IUGR
  • relative big head
  • triangular face + frontal bossing
  • CAM
  • 5th finger clindodactyly (sideway bent)
  • Low BG
  • Normal congition
102
Q

Cytogenetic tests mean what?

A

Karyotype
Microarray
FISH

Molecular/DNS testing= everything else.
(i.e. DNA testing for Fragile X)

103
Q

8 y.o. child heme-vertebrae on XR. Well. Next investigation?

  • MRI head
  • MRI spine
  • AUS
  • Echo
A

AUS

Healthy 8 y.o. with no murmur = AUS

New baby or murmur= Echo

104
Q

Butterfly vertebae. Make you think of?

A

Alagille

105
Q

Sotos versus Fragile X. Differences?

A

Big everything (VERY BIG)
Prominent chin + Tall forehead + Frontal bossing + Malar Flushing
= DNA gene sequencing
= SOTOS

Upper range in growth
Long face + prominent ear
= DNA PCR testing
= Fragile X

106
Q

When do you use microarray testing?

A

For duplication or deletion
- DiGeorge, Williams, Cri Du Chat, and if doing methylation studies (Prader Willi, Angelman)

NOTE: will also pick up things found on karyotype.

107
Q

For Prader, Anglican, Beckwith or Russell what do you do?

A

Microarray + Methylation studies..

108
Q

What testing do you do for Noonans?

A

Rasopathy

109
Q

When do you order karyotype?

A 
Trisomy (21, 18, 13)
Sex chromosome (Klinefelter XXY, Turner XO)
