26
Autosomal Recessive Disease manifests itself if offspring inherits one recessive gene from each parent. If parents are carriers, 25% of offspring will have disease.
27
Tay-Sachs Disease 1 in 600 Jews of European descent born with it Lipids deposited in nervous system, causing brain to be damaged -- blindness, loss of movement, mental deterioration. No break down of cellular wastes in lysosome due to absence of hexosaminidase A – mutation causes nerve death Symptoms appear around 6 months of age and victims die due to paralysis and/or convulsions before the age of five.

29
http://www.biochem.arizona.edu/classes/bioc460/spring/rlm/RLM36.1.html A __________ person who carries a _________ allele for a genetic disorder, but ______________ the disorder themselves is called a _____________ CARRIER heterozygous doesn’t show recessive
30
Polygenic Inheritance Most human characteristics are polygenic, meaning they are influenced by several genes, e.g. skin color influenced by 3-6 genes; also, eye color, height, hair color Complex characters are those that are influenced strongly by both the environment and genes, e.g., diabetes, heart disease, stroke, skin color, height
31
More patterns of inheritance….. Multiple alleles - genes with three or more alleles, e.g., ABO blood groups Incomplete dominance – condition that results in a display of a trait that is intermediate between the two parents X-linked traits – determined by x-linked genes, e.g., color blindness Sex-influenced traits – usually autosomal, e.g. baldness is influenced by testosterone Single-allele traits – more than 200 human traits are governed by single dominant alleles, e.g., Huntington’s disease
32
Single Gene Inheritance Autosomal dominant traits –Huntington’s Disease on chromosome #4 –Marfan Syndrome on chromosome #15 –Breast Cancer on chromosomes #17 Pedigree Analysis Autosomal recessive traits –Tay-Sachs Disease on chromosome #15 –Cystic Fibrosis on chromosome #7 –Sickle Cell Anemia on chromosome #11 X-Linked Disease (Sex-Linked) –Hemophilia--Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy – Color Blindness
33
Multiple Alleles Blood type, using I gene. Human blood types include: Phenotype Genotype –AI A I A or I A i –BI B I B or I B i –ABI A I B (Universal Recipient) –Oii (Universal Donor) If a child has type O blood and its mother has type A, could a type B man be the father? Why couldn’t a blood test be used to prove he is the father?

42
THINK ABOUT IT What does the song have to do with human genetics? “This Land is My Land” was written by a musician named Woody Guthrie before he began to show the symptoms of Huntington’s disease. Click to hear Woody’s song
43
Woody Guthrie had a son named Arlo that was a popular musician during the 70’s Before 1993 there was no test for Huntington’s. If one of your parents showed symptoms, you had to wait to see if it had been passed on to you. Click to hear one of Arlo’s songs
44
Arlo Guthrie is still performing today. He never developed symptoms for Huntington’s disease. http://www.jimdirden.com/woodyfest2004/artists/index_3.htm If there is no cure, would YOU want to be tested and find out if you have the gene? http://webs.wichita.edu/depttools/depttoolsmemberfiles/accomp/question_mark%20(WinCE).jpg

91
Detecting Genetic Disease Genetic Screening – examination of a person’s genetic makeup involving karyotypes, blood tests for certain proteins, or direct tests of DNA –200 genetic disorders can be detected in the fetus –Amniocentesis – removal of amniotic fluid from the sac that surrounds the fetus between the 14 th and 16 th week of pregnancy –Chorionic villi sampling – sample of cells derived between the 8 th and 10 th week from the zygote - cells grow between the mother’s uterus and the placenta; cells chromosomes, and proteins analyzed
92
Detecting Genetic Disease –Chorionic villi sampling – CVS can help identify chromosomal problems such as Down syndrome or other genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis, Tay- Sachs disease and sickle cell anemia. CVS is considered to be 98% accurate in the diagnosis of chromosomal defects, such as Down syndrome.Down syndromecystic fibrosissickle cell anemia
