2014 METHODS OF RESEARCH INTO HUMAN GENETICS Výukový materiál GE 02 - 56 Tvůrce: Mgr. Šárka Vopěnková Tvůrce anglické verze: ThMgr. Ing. Jiří Foller Projekt: S anglickým jazykem do dalších předmětů Registrační číslo: CZ.1.07/1.1.36/03.0005 Tento projekt je spolufinancován ESF a SR ČR
2
human genetics differs from genetics of plants, fungi, animals and bacteria: moral a ethic reasons human has in life a very small number of descendants phenotype is in a very big measure influenced by the external environment (social conditions) - polygenic features generation period of a person is very long geneticist can observe maximally only 4 generations human genome is very complex RESEARCH METHODS
3
specific observational methods: 1. research into family trees – genealogic method 2. research into twins – gemellological method 3. methods of population genetics 4. research into karyotypes 5. biochemical and molecular-genetic methods RESEARCH METHODS
4
research into family trees – genealogic method : based on arrangement of family trees generation period of human = 20 – 25 let > maximally observed 4 generations by monogenic features can be detected: feature conditioned by a dominant / recessive allele feature is on autosome / gonosome RESEARCH METHODS
5
result of research: determination of probability of occurrence of the disease by the descendants principal method by the diagnosis of hereditary diseases used international symbols > e.g.. proband RESEARCH METHODS
6
research into twins: a) twins originate from only one egg fertilized by one sperm 100 % accordance of genome monozygotic twins MZ identical sex b) twins originate by fertilization of two eggs by two sperms 50% accordance of genome dizygotic twins DZ identical or different sex RESEARCH METHODS
7
monozygotic twins: MZ phenotype variations are consequence of the non- hereditary component of variability by means of the phenotype accordance and differences by MZ and DZ twins can be determined the mass of influence of hereditary and non- hereditary component of variability disease with a high heritability > hereditary disease, can be predicted disease with a high heritability > better curable RESEARCH METHODS
8
research into karyotypes: cytogenetic research of chromosomes in the nucleus 23 pairs of chromosomes 220 pairs of autosomes + 1 pair of gonosomes according to Denver nomenclature > in 7 groups A to G in agreement with their size and placing of centromeres RESEARCH METHODS
9
biochemical and molecular-genetic many diseases caused by mutations defect alleles are mostly recessive ill people are also recessive heterozygotes > autosomal recessive heredity these diseases are caused by mutations of structural genes = molecular diseases e.g.: phenylketonuria, galactosemia a albinism RESEARCH METHODS
10
handicapped child from its birth up to 15 years of age - special diet organized a wide recapture of new born babies on the base of a simple biochemical examination RESEARCH METHODS
11
DNA diagnostics: molecular-genetic method used in prenatal diagnostics e.g. Sickle-cell anaemia - disease: stricken only homozygotes ( SS) foe defect allele S they have got erythrocytes of sickle shape GENETIC PREVENTION AND COUNSELLING
12
a big research project HGP deals with mapping of human genome started in 1990 by 2000 -2003 read the sequence of human genome human has got 30 000 genes 98,5 % genes have a non-coding sequence RESEARCH METHODS
13
genetic counselling: an important part of preventive medicine medicine genetics department – hospitals: specification of diagnosis determination of risk of disabled children in a high-risk family interruption essential principle of genetic counselling: guarantee of free (both) parents´ decision !!! RESEARCH METHODS
14
eugenics: science struggling for improvement of biological and mental quality of human population most effective reduction possibility of birth disabled humans most effective reduction possibility of transmission indisposed alleles into following generations hardly solvable contradiction: frequency of defect alleles in the populations increases thanks to medicine (individuals with serious hereditary diseases are saved) RESEARCH METHODS
15
Internationally given symbols, from which are created genealogical tables (family trees). FILL IN THE SCHEMA WORKSHEET
