AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT
never skip generations
X-LINKED DOMINANT
NO male to male transmission and NEVER skip generations
X-LINKED RECESSIVE
NO male to male transmission
AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE
variable
Steps to take to asses a pedigree
1) list the 4 possibilities
2) Are any generations skipped?
3) Is there any male to male transmission?
4) ID the inheritance pattern by what remains; if there is more than one possibility then test them with Punnett square
de novo mutation
parents are healthy, but ONE of the progeny undergoes a spontaneous mutation; therefore certain ones of his/her progeny will carry the mutated gene
mitochondrial inheritance
only transmitted by females but transmitted to ALL of her children (female and male)
Leber's optic neuropathy - bilateral blindness with onset sometime after 15 years of age
Cystic Fibrosis
Autosomal recessive;
mutation in CFTR causing defect in chloride trans-membrane movment in epithelial cells
meconium ileus, viscous mucus, recurrent respiratory infections, high NaCl in sweat and tears, chronic pancreatitis, cholelithiasis, malnutrition
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
autosomal recessive;
unable to metabolize phenylalanine therefore unable to make melanin and the NTs norepi and dopamine
results in neurotoxicity and lighter complexion
Albinism
autosomal recessive;
inability to make melanin
alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency
autosomal recessive;
deficiency in enzyme that usually functions to inhibit elastase
liver makes it but unavle to release it from cells (liver destruction), the active elastase destroys primarily the lung (emphysema)
Thalassemias, sickle cell anemia
autosomal recessive;
abnormally structured hemoglobin
RBC defects - destruction
Glycogen storage diseases
autosomal recessive;
inavility to utilize glycogen normally
vonGierke disease, Pompe disease, & McArdle disease
Mucopolysaccharidoses
autosomal recessive;
lysosomal storage disease, unable to metabolize glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), critical components to CT
do or don't cause MR and/or corneal clouding
3 types:
1) Hurler
2) Scheie
3) Hunter (XLR)
Hunter (mucopolysaccharidoses)
X-linked recessive
sphingolipidoses
autosomal recessive;
lysosomal storage disease,
unavle to metabolize sphigolipids, molecule involved with myelin and the CNS
6 Major types:
1) Niemann-Pick
2) Krabbe's
3) Gaucher's
4) Tay-Sachs
5) Metachromatic dystrophy
6) Fabry (XLR)
Fabry (sphingolipidoses)
X-linked recessive
Polycystic kidney disease (infant type)
autosomal recessive;
kidney cysts + liver cysts in infant; fatal
hemochromatosis
autosomal recessive;
small intestine takes up excessive iron, even with normal diet
excess iron deposits in liver, pancreas, heart, and skin
"bronze diabetes"
Chediak-Higashi syndrome
WBCs have abnormal microtubules
recurrent infections, lymphoid cancers, partial albinism, neuropathy
Bernard-Soulier Disease
due to lack of GpIb (needed for platelet adhesion to VWF)
results in excessive bleeding
Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia
lack of GpIIbIIIa (needed for platelet to platelet adhesion)
results in excessive bleeding
