UNIT 6 Flashcards
A single gene locus
causing mutation has a
major physiologic impact
and considered to be
deterministic of a disease
Mutation
Genetic alteration that contributes to
complex disease has smaller effect
Polymorphism
Present in at least 1% of the
population
Poly
Present in at least 1% of the
population
polymorphism
not causally linked to
diseases but alleles are seen more
frequently among diseased
individuals
Poly
causally
linked to Mendelian
diseases
Mutations
One-on-one correlation of
mutation and disease can
be established
Mutations
No one-on-one correlation
Poly
Single base pair change in
nucleotide sequence of
genes are called
Point mutations
Single base pair change in nucleotide
sequence of genes are called
SNP
are alternative forms of nucleotide that
are brought about by the rearrangement of atoms
Tautomers
Repositioning of hydrogen atoms in the pyrimidine
bases turns aminophore
Iminophore
most common form of guanine & thymine
Ketophore
Ketophores becomes ____ when there is rearrangement
Enolphore
Cytosine mispairs with adenine resulting in a
Transition mutation
can cause the formation of uracil and
hypoxanthine by cytosine and adenine
Deamination
Nawala si NH2
Deaminated cytosine =
Uracil
Deaminated adenine=
Hypoxanthine
happens in guanine when exposed to
dimethyl sulfate =
Alkylation
7- methylguanine
target deoxyribose ring =
phosphodiester backbone breaks
are free radicals.
Oxygen radicals
bonding of two thymines in the same
strand
○ Caused by sunlight
○ Sunscreen protects us from UV rays.
Thymine dimer
kulang polypeptide chain because of
premature termination or translation.
Nonsense
always deleterious because of the
change in amino acids.
Missense
nasplice din si isang exon
○ There’s an exon missing.
Exon skipping
hindi siya nasplice sa mRNA
Intron inclusion
kulang si exon
○ Part of exon was spliced.
○ All introns removed.
Cryptic splice site
SSCP
ASO
MELT CURVE
ARRAY
Hybridization based
Sequence specific PCR,
Allelic
Sequencing Polymerization based
RFLP
Nuclease cleavage
Invader
Cleavage-based
Scans several-hundred base pairs.
● Based on intra-strand folding.
SSCP
Folded single strands (conformers) can be resolved by
size and shape.
SSCP
Detect PAGE bonds by silver staining
SSCP
Analyze results by comparison to reference normal
control (+)
SSCP
- Amplify region to be scanned using PCR
- Denature and dilute the PCR products
- Separate conformers by PAGE or CGE
SSCP
Dot blot method
ASO
Relies on binding effects of nucleotide mismatches.
● Specimen in solution is spotted on nitrocellulose.
● Labeled oligonucleotide probes are hybridized to
immobilized specimens.
● Three specimens spotted on duplicate membranes.
ASO
Based on sequence effect on Tm.
● Can be performed with or without probes.
● Requires double-strand DNA–specific dyes.
MELT CURVE
Also performed with fluorescence resonance energy
transfer(FRET) probes.
● Double-stranded DNA specific dye(SyBr Green) will
fluoresce when bound to DNA.
● Denaturation of DNA to single strands will result in
loss of fluorescence.

Reverse Dot blot
Array
Used to investigate multiple genomic sites
simultaneously
