Human Genome Project 13-year project completed in 2003 Project goals: identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA determine sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA

Karyotype

Genetic Disorders Major types of genetic disorders: Autosomal Single genes Multiple genes Sex-linked Chromosome abnormalities

Levels of Genetic Disorders Level 1 Single gene mutation affecting a single gene Level 2 Chromosomes entire chromosomes, or large segments of them, are missing, duplicated, or otherwise altered Level 3 Multifactor mutations in multiple genes, often coupled with environmental causes

Autosomal Disorders Autosomal genetic disorders are caused by alleles on autosomes (the non-sex chromosomes) Most are recessive (need 2 recessive alleles) People with 1 recessive allele are carriers – they do NOT have the disorder but are able to pass the allele on to their children Ex: Cystic fibrosis (CF), sickle cell anemia Can also be dominant (need only 1 allele to have disorder) Ex: Huntington’s disease

Other Genetic disorders Huntington's       Dominant disorder neurodegenerative genetic disorder affects muscle coordination leads to cognitive decline and psychiatric problems Noticeable in mid-adult life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65xf1olEpQM 

Albinism Recessive defect of melanin production results in little or no color in the skin, hair, and eyes

Cystic Fibrosis Recessive - strands of DNA are deleted Affects the lungs, pancreas, liver, and intestine Characterized by accumulation of thick, sticky mucus coughing or shortness of breath poor growth and weight gain frequent chest infections Salty skin https://www.youtube.com/user/CysticFibrosisUSA

Tay-Sachs Recessive Deafness decreased eye contact/blindness decreased muscle tone loss of muscle strength/function delayed mental and social skills Dementia loss of motor skills paralysis Slow growth

Achondroplasia common cause of dwarfism Sporadic mutation in approximately 75% of cases (associated with advanced paternal age) Or dominant genetic disorder Unlikely homozygous child will live past a few months of its life

Chromosome Abnormalities Autosomal and sex-linked genetic disorders are both caused by certain alleles Other genetic disorders result from chromosome abnormalities caused by mistakes made during meiosis. May change the number or structure of chromosomes within gametes

Translocation Translocation is when a piece of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to a different chromosome Often happens to 2 chromosomes at once

Nondisjunction Chromosomes fail to separate during anaphase anaphase I = 2 cells with extra and 2 with less anaphase II = 2 normal cells, 1 w/ extra, 1 w/less Trisomy – three chromosomes Monosomy – 1 chromosome http://www.sumanasinc.com/webcontent/animations/content/mistakesmeiosis/mistakesmeiosis.

Down Syndrome (trisomy 21) Symptoms of Down syndrome include: Mild to severe mental retardation Short stature Heart, vision, and intestinal problems Susceptibility to infections and leukemia

Other Nondisjunctions Patau syndrome (trisomy 13): serious eye, brain, circulatory defects as well as cleft palate. Children rarely live more than a few months Edward's syndrome (trisomy 18): almost every organ system affected Children with full Trisomy 18 generally do not live more than a few months

Nondisjunction of the sex chromosomes (X or Y chromosome) Klinefelter syndrome: 47, XXY males. Male sex organs unusually small testes, sterile Breast enlargement and other feminine body characteristics Normal intelligence

47, XYY males – Jacob Syndrome Individuals are somewhat taller than average often have below normal intelligence Thought that these men were likely to be criminally aggressive, but this has been disproven Trisomy X: 47, XXX females healthy and fertile - usually cannot be distinguished from normal female except by karyotype

Monosomy X (Turner's syndrome) the only viable monosomy in humans - women with Turner's have only 45 chromosomes XO individuals are genetically female do not mature sexually during puberty and are sterile Short stature and normal intelligence 98% of these fetuses die before birth

How do we find disorders? Genetic tests use blood and other tissue Doctors use genetic tests for: Find possible genetic diseases in unborn babies Find out if people carry a gene Screening embryos for disease Test for genetic diseases before symptoms occur Confirming a diagnosis

Diagnosing Genetic Disorders There are several ways to determine whether a child will have a genetic disorder Two main ways to diagnose: Analysis of fetal cells Amniocentesis Chorionic villus biopsy Imaging techniques Ultrasonography (computerized image) Fetoscopy (direct observation)

How is genetic testing done? blood, hair, skin, amniotic fluid, or other tissue Heel prick on newborns Look for changes in chromosomes, DNA, proteins

Amniocentesis a procedure a pregnant woman can have in order to detect some genetics disorders

Karyotype (picture of an individual’s chromosomes) One of the ways to analyze the amniocentesis is to make a Karyotype What genetic disorder does this karyotype show? Trisomy 21….Down’s Syndrome

Developing Cures for Genetic Disorders Gene therapy Introducing normal genes into the cells of people with defective alleles Using viruses to inject alleles into cells Enclosing alleles in droplets of fat, which are taken into cells by endocytosis Currently these are still experimental procedures and have had limited success

Genetic Dilemmas

Pedigrees Diagram that traces inheritance of a trait through several generations

Analyzing Pedigrees

Polydactyl – Dominant Disorder

Questions Is this trait dominant or recessive? Explain your answer. Name the 2 individuals that were carriers of hemophilia How are individuals III-1 and III-2 related? How many children did individuals I-1 and I-2 have How many girls did II-1 and II-2 have? How many have hemophilia?

Book Questions Page 276 1, 2, 4, 5 Page 282 2, 3, 4 Page 285 1, 3

Is this a recessive or dominant trait Is this a recessive or dominant trait? How are person II2 and II3 related? Agenda for Monday April 23rd Review stuff Test tomorrow

The pedigree to the right shows a family’s pedigree for colorblindness (a sex linked trait) Which sex can be carriers of colorblindness and not have it? Why does individual IV-7 have colorblindness?   Why do all the daughters in generation II carry the colorblind gene? IV
