The family tree of genetics Pedigree Charts The family tree of genetics What is a pedigree? Constructing a pedigree Interpreting a pedigree A quick refresher for the teacher on important terms: Autosomal gene- a gene found on any chromosome except for the sex chromosome. These are chromosomes numbered 1-22. X-linked gene- a gene found on a chromosome designated as a sex chromosome (X or Y). Dominant- Refers to an allele that is expressed phenotypically and masks any recessive counterpart. Recessive- An allele that is not phenotypically expressed when its counterpart is dominant.

What is a Pedigree Chart? Slide # 2 1. A Pedigree chart traces the inheritance of a particular trait through several generations. 2. One GOAL of using a pedigree chart is to figure out who are carriers of the trait, because this information is typically unknown. a. Carrier: someone who is heterozygous for a trait. A pedigree is a chart of the genetic history of family over several generations. Scientists or a genetic counselor would find out about your family history and make this chart to analyze it. For example, a couple might like to know their chances of having a child that has muscular dystrophy. So the scientists or a genetic counselor would find out who had muscular dystrophy in the mother’s and/or father’s families. This information would be used to and then calculate the probability of the couple having a child with MD.

Constructing a Pedigree Slide # 3 Constructing a Pedigree Female You must learn the symbols of the pedigree charts before you can start to learn how to interpret it. These are the symbols that represent a male and a female. Male

Constructing a Pedigree Slide # 4 Constructing a Pedigree 1. Mated Pair: Horizontal Line 2. Children: - Vertical line 3. More than one child: a horizontal line is drawn with a vertical line coming down for each sibling. These symbols also represent relationships between people. some may have to each other.

Constructing a Pedigree Slide # 5 1. Fraternal twins- can be the same or different gender a. Two line branching from the same point b. two different eggs and two different sperm cells. 2. Identical twins-always same gender a. Also called maternal twins b. Same as fraternal twins but a horizontal line is added. c. One egg and one sperm unite and later split to create two babies Here are examples of symbols that represent relationships between people.

Generations Slide # 6 1. Roman numerals to the left of the pedigree show the generations. 2. Birth Order: children are listed in birth order with oldest on left and youngest on the right. I II III This is just an example of a pedigree and there can be many more different types.

More Symbols in a Pedigree Chart Slide # 7 More Symbols in a Pedigree Chart 1. Full Shaded: a. Affected person who shows a disorder 2. Half shaded: Autosomal carrier 3. Circle with dot: X-linked carrier –always female 4. Deceased These are examples of different types of symbols. These symbols would be the same for males or for females, except for X-linked carrier which is only used for females. So an affected male would be a square that is filled in completely. A deceased female would be a circle with a diagonal slash.

Predicting using Pedigree Charts Slide # 8 1. Pedigrees are used to find out: a. who are carriers of the disorder b. the probability of having a future child with the disorder. 2. To begin to interpret a pedigree, first determine if the disorder is: a. Autosomal dominant b. Autosomal recessive c. Sex-linked (carried on the X chromosome) This summary will help reiterate the important parts of this lesson. [Created by Lauren Almaguer, CDC Science Ambassador, 2004.]

Interpreting a Pedigree Chart Slide # 9 First ask: Is it a Sex-linked or Autosomal Disorder? 1. If there is a much larger number of males than females who are affected then the disorder is Sex-linked. 2. If there is a 50/50 ratio between males and females who are affected then the disorder is autosomal. When interpreting a pedigree chart of a family with a disease like muscular dystrophy, it is important to consider two steps. The first is to determine if the disorder is autosomal or X-linked. If the disorder is X-linked most of the males will have the disorder because the Y-chromosome cannot mask the affects of an affected X-chromosome. A female can have the disorder, but it would be a very low percentage. For a female to be affected, she would have had to receive an affected gene from the mother and the father. This means that the father would have the disorder and the mother was a carrier. In an autosomal disorder, the disorder is not found on the X or Y chromosome. It is found on the other 22 chromosomes in the human body. This means that men and women have an equal chance of having the disorder. The mother and father can be homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive. If a person is homozygous dominant, the person has two of the same dominant genes. For example if someone is homozygous dominant for being tall it may be represented as TT. Capital letter always represent a dominant gene. If a person is heterozygous, this person would have a dominant trait and a recessive trait. It may be represent as Tt. The dominant gene will mask the recessive gene, so the person is still tall. If a person is homozygous recessive, the person has two of the same recessive genes. For example if someone is homozygous recessive for height, it may be represented as tt. The tt would mean the person is short.

Interpreting a Pedigree Chart Slide # 10 1. If it is autosomal disorder then ask: Is it dominant or recessive? 2. If two parents do not show the trait and their children do show it, then it is an autosomal recessive disorder - (parents are carriers or heterozygous) 3. If the disorder is autosomal dominant, then at least one of the parents must show the disorder. The second step is to determine if the disorder is dominant or recessive. It is important to find out if a disorder is dominant or recessive. For example, Huntington’s disease is a dominant disorder. If you have only one dominant gene you will have Huntington’s disease, which is a lethal disorder. The disorder does not show up until a person is in their middle ages such as 45. It will quickly decrease their motor skills and the brain will begin to deteriorate. If a disorder is dominant, one parent must have the disorder (either homozygous dominant (TT) or heterozygous recessive (Tt). Both parents do not have to have the disorder. One parent might not have the disorder or be a carrier. If a disease is dominant, it does not skip a generation unless one parent is heterozygous dominant (Tt) and the other parent is homozygous recessive (tt). In this case the child has a chance of not receiving the dominant gene. If the disorder is recessive, a parent does not have to have the disorder, but could still pass it to their offspring. This would happen when a parent is heterozygous recessive (Tt) and passes on the recessive (t) gene. This means this disorder can skip generations. An example of a recessive disorder would be sickle cell anemia.
