|
X- linked expressivity in females
|
heterozygous carriers
mozaicism: - lyonization (e.g. striping on the teeth and X linked genes) - random x-inactivation (e.g. cocalico cat) - not random if fatal mutant (e.g. ornithine transcarbamylase mutation, no viable offsping in males and mosaic in females) |

|
Non Mendelian Genetic Concepts
|
1. mitochondrial inheritance
2. genomic imprinting 3. phenotype/genotype correlation 4. presence of a mutation in a population 5. trinucleotide repeat disease 6. multifactorial inheritance |
|
|
1. Mitochondrial inheritance
|
vision, nerve and muslce are highly depend on mitochondria
severity depends on # of defective mitochondria inherited - heteroplasmy. examples are: |
Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy
|
|
2. Genomic Imprinting
|
maternal vs paternal inheritance of an autosome
examples are: |
Prader-Willi vs Angelman
Huntington disease Neurofibromatosis Myotonic Dystrophies |
|
Prader-Willi Syndrome
|
chromosome 15 deletion inherited from father
hypotonia, obesity, small hands, mild mental retardation, hypogonadism |
|
|
Angelman Syndrome
|
chromosome 15 deletion inherited from mother
ataxic gait, inappropriate laughter, severe mental retardation and seizure |
|
|
3. Genotype/Phenotype Correlation
|
- genetic heterogeneity (mutation of different genes cause same disease): i.e.
- variable expressivity: varying degrees of diseases with same gene mutation: i.e. - penetrence: % of pts with inherited mutation that develop disorder: modifier genes, environment (carcinogens), usually occurs in autosomal dominant disorders - i.e. - allelic variation: mutation in same gene causes different disease: i.e. |
- genetic heterogeneity: familial Alzheimer Disease, Breast Cancer
- variable expressivity: neurofibromatosis 1 (variable # of cafe au lait, learning, skeletal malformations, and cardiac defects) - penetrence: hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer - allelic variation: Ret gene |
|
Ret Gene
|
MEN2A (exon 10, 11): pheochromocytoma, MTC
MEN2B (exon 15, 16): pheochromocytoma, MTC, neuroma familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (exon 10-15) |
|
|
4. Presence of a mutation in a population
|
1. hyterozygous advantage: i.e.
2. founder effect: suddendecrease in population leaves an increase in mutant |
1. sickle cell anemia and cystic fibrosis
2. Tay Sachs disease in Jews |
|
5. Trinucleotide repeat diseases
|
expansion in the # of 3 nucleotide repeats
low # of repeats are normal # of repeats above threshold lead to disease i.e. are: |
Huntington's disease, Fragile X syndrome, Kennedy disease
|
|
6. Multifactorial Inheritance

aka polygenic
genetic, but no specific gene family has higher risk than population, non-mendelian compare concordance between monozygotic and dyzygotic twins i.e. are |
cleft lip/palate, IDDM, NIDDM, epilepsy, hypertension, schizophrenia, manic depression, multiple sclerosis
