  • Front
  • Back
hereditary disorder
derived from ones parents transmitted through gametes
congenital
present at birth
mutation
permanent changes in DNA
when are mutations transmitted to progeny
when germ cells are affected
when are mutations not transmitted to progeny
when only somatic cells are affected
genome mutations
loss or gain of chromosomes
chromosomal mutations
rearrangement of genetic material no gain or loss
point mutation
substitution of a single nucleotide base by a different base
types of point mutations
"conservative
missense"
missense mutation
a sing base substitution may alter the code replacing one AA with another
conservative mutation
little change in function
nonconservative
big change in function
nonsense mutation
changing an AA code with a stop codon
frameshift mutations
deletions or insertions that lead to alterations in the reading frame
when does a frame shift occure when does it not
"occurs=deletion or insertion is not three or a mutiple of three
doesn't occure= when it is three or a multiple of three"
if a frameshift doesn't occure what happens with deletion or insertion
an abnormal protein missing one or more AA is produced
trinucleotide mutations
amplification of a sequence of 3 nucleotides all share the nucleotides G and C
when does amplification increase in trinucleotide mutations
increases with gametogenesis
normal human chromosome complement
"46 XX female
46 XY male"
euploid
an exact multiple of the haploid number of 23
aneuploidy
not an exact multiple of 23
penetrance
percentage of individuals with an autosomal dominant gene who express the trait
pleiotrophy
a single gene mutation may lead to many phenotypic effects
variable expressivity
showing a variety of different problems from patient to patient with the same autosomal dominant disease
when are autosomal dominant disorders manifested
in the heterozygous state
who is affected by autosomal disorders and who can transmitt them
male and female are affected and male and female can transmit the condition
what are the two main categories of non-enzyme proteins affected by autosomal dominant disorders
"proteins involved in the regulation of complex metabolic pathways
key strutrual proteins"
the largest group of mendelian disorders
autosomal recessive disorders
when do autosomal recessive disorders so up
when both alleles at a given locus are mutant
what is the chance of children getting an autosomal recessive disorder
1 in 4
what type of proteins are usually affected in autosomal recessive disorders
enzyme proteins
who transmits X-linked disorders
heterozygous females
who expresses x-linked disorders
virtually only sons
who can affected males not pass x-linked disorders to
their sons
codomiance
full expression of both alleles of a given gene pair in a heterozygote
