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
