1. Section 2 Human Genetic Disorders

2. 1 st three terms…also in next 3 slides! Genetic disorder - an abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes Genetic disorder - an abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes Pedigree – a chart or “family tree” that tracks which members of a family have a particular trait Pedigree – a chart or “family tree” that tracks which members of a family have a particular trait Karyotype – a picture of all the chromosomes in a cell Karyotype – a picture of all the chromosomes in a cell

3. Genetic Disorders An abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes An abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes

4. Indonesia’s 37 year old Dede otherwise known as “tree man” has been suffering from a rare disease characterized by gnarled warts all over his body due to which his body resembles the bark of a tree and hence the name tree man.

5. Pedigree: a chart or “family tree” that tracks which members of a family have a particular trait

6. Karyotype: a picture of all the chromosomes in a cell a picture of all the chromosomes in a cell

7. Skip down to #1: 1. An abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes is called a(n)genetic disorder 1. An abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes is called a(n)genetic disorder

8. 2. What causes genetic disorders? Mutations, or changes in a person’s DNA changes in the number of chromosomes changes in the overall structure of chromosomes

9. Human Genetic Disorders

10. Limb Mammary Syndrome

11. 3. What is cystic fibrosis?. a genetic disorder where the body produces abnormally thick mucus in the lungs and intestines.

12. Cystic Fibrosis

13. 4. Cystic Fibrosis caused by a recessive allele on one chromosome. caused by a recessive allele on one chromosome. The recessive allele is the result of a mutation where three bases are removed from a DNA molecule The recessive allele is the result of a mutation where three bases are removed from a DNA molecule NOT sex-linked!! NOT sex-linked!!

14. 5. Sickle-Cell Disease Affects hemoglobin – a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen Affects hemoglobin – a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen Normal red blood cell sickle shaped red blood cell

16. Sickle Cell Disease Sickle-shaped red blood cells clog blood vessels and can’t carry as much oxygen as normal cells. Sickle-shaped red blood cells clog blood vessels and can’t carry as much oxygen as normal cells.

18. 6. Sickle Cell can be codominant with the normal allele!!! This means a person that is heterozygous for sickle cell have a “mild” case of the full disease… This means a person that is heterozygous for sickle cell have a “mild” case of the full disease…

19. Hemophilia genetic disorder where a person’s blood clots very slowly or not at all genetic disorder where a person’s blood clots very slowly or not at all

20. #7 & #8 Hemophilia is caused by a recessive allele on the X chromosome Hemophilia is caused by a recessive allele on the X chromosome Because it’s sex linked – it occurs more often in males than in females Because it’s sex linked – it occurs more often in males than in females

21. 9. Down Syndrome A person’s cells have an extra copy of chromosome 21 A person’s cells have an extra copy of chromosome 21

22. #10. Usually a result when chromosomes fail to separate properly during meiosis

23. 11. Pedigrees A chart or “family tree” that tracks which members of a family have a certain trait is called a pedigree. A chart or “family tree” that tracks which members of a family have a certain trait is called a pedigree.

27. Managing Genetic Disorders 13. Tools used to help manage genetic disorders: They are helped through medical care, education, job training, and other methods. 13. Tools used to help manage genetic disorders: They are helped through medical care, education, job training, and other methods. Genetic Counseling – helps a couple understand their chances of having a child with a certain genetic disorder Genetic Counseling – helps a couple understand their chances of having a child with a certain genetic disorder

28. Karyotypes 14. this is a picture of all the chromosomes in a cell 14. this is a picture of all the chromosomes in a cell What does this person have?

30. ? For you… Would a karyotype reveal the presence of sickle cell disease? Why or why not? Would a karyotype reveal the presence of sickle cell disease? Why or why not?

31. NO Sickle-cell disease is not related to the number of chromosomes in a cell Sickle-cell disease is not related to the number of chromosomes in a cell

32. How are people helped when they have a genetic disorder? medical treatments medical treatments education education job training job training
