Are structural protein defects often dominant or recessive?
|
- dominant
|
|
What are the 5 functions of connective tissue
|
1) define form of organs
2) mechanical stability 3) protective barrier 4) transduce chemical energy via tendons, bones, muscles 5) important in embryonic dvp |
|
Type 1 collagen chain and distribution
|
- 2 alpha 1 chains and 1 alpha 2 chain
- skin, tendon, bone ligament, cornea |
|
Type 2 collagen chain and distribution
|
- 3 alpha 1 chains
- cartilage, vitreous, intervertebral discs |
|
Type 3 collagen chain and distribution
|
- 3 alpha 1 chains
- gut, vessels, uterus, distensible tissues |
|
Type 4 collagen chain and distribution
|
- alpha 1 chains
- basement membranes, lens capsule |
|
type 5 collagen chain and distribution
|
- 2 alpha 1 chains and 1 alpha 2 chain
- widespread in small amts |
|
Most types of OI have defect in?
|
- type I collagen (either the alpha 1 chain or the alpha 2 chain)
|
|
Discuss OI Type I
|
- frequent fractures
- normal height - low deformity - 50% hearing loss - blue sclera - autosomal dominant via null allele for either alpha 1 or 2 chain so only 50% of type 1 collagen - mildest |
|
Discuss OI Type II
|
- most severe
- multiple fractures at birth, often lethal - new autosomal dominant |
|
Discuss OI type III
|
- progressively deforming
- short stature - hearing loss - may be confined to wheel chair - abnormal chest at risk for respiratory illness - autosomal dominant |
|
Discuss OI type IV
|
- severity between type 1 and III
- mild to moderate deformity - normal sclera - autosomal dominant |
|
In OI type II, III, and IV point mutations cause what type of problems if they're in the alpha I chain? Alpha 2 chain?
|
- 1:3 of normal to mutant collagen
- 1:1 of normal to mutant collagen |
|
What are the 5 types of specific disorders discussed concerning Ehlers-Danlos syndrome?
|
- classical
- hypermobile -vascular - X-linked - Kyphoscoliotic |
|
Discuss Hypermobile EDS
|
- marked hypermobility of joints and skin
- autosomal dominant - unknown defect |
|
Discuss Classical EDS
|
- hyperextensible skin
- hypermobile joints - cigarette paper scars - autosomal dominant - defect only have 50% of collagen V |
|
Discuss vascular EDS
|
- most severe
- autosomal dominant - live teens-early 20s - small arterials usually burst (arterial, bowel, uterine- no pregnancy!) - abnormal type III collagen (7 of 8 abnormal) - marked bruising |
|
Discuss X-linked EDS
|
- similar to hypermobile
-X-linked recessive - unknown defect |
|
Discuss Kyphoscoliotic EDS
|
- soft, velvety skin
- ocular fragility - autosomal recessive - lysyl hydroxylase deficiency (no cross linking) |
|
What are the 4 Type II collagenopathies discussed?
|
1) Achondrogenesis
2) Hypochondrogenesis 3) Spondylometaphyseal Dysplasia 4) Stickler syndrome |
|
Discuss Achondrogenesis
|
- most severe
- lethal, hydrops fetalis/polydramnios - deficient ossification - new dominant mutation - abnormal type II collagen so 7/8 collagen abnormal |
|
Discuss Hypochondrogenesis
|
- dominant
- lethal - cleft palate - small chest - pulmonary hypoplasia - problem with type II collagen |
|
Discuss Spondylometaphyseal Dysplasia
|
- spurs
- corner fracterus - type II collagen defect |
|
Stickler syndrome
|
- mildest of type II collagen defects
- autosomal dominant - marfanoid - cleft palate - severe myopia - arthropathy~ jts disintegrate - type XI collagen inserts at Type II spots |
|
What syndrome is similar to Marfan, but more severe and has defects in TGF-Beta receptors
|
- Loeys-Dietz
|
|
What is the most common disorder of FGFR3?
|
- achondroplasia
|
|
Discuss Achondroplasia
|
- most common dwarfism
- autosomal dominant - 80% new mutation in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR3) - 85% have G to C or A at nucleotide 1138 |
|
What are 3 allelic disorders related to achondroplasia in the FGFR3 defect family
|
- Thanatophoric dyplasia (neonatal death)
- SADDAN (mentally retarded) - Hypochondroplasia (50% mental problems) **allelic heterogenecity mutation |
