Introduction

Single gene disorders are caused by individual mutant genes

There are approximately 11,000 single gene disorders, affecting 1% of the populations

Follow Mendelian patterns of inheritance Autosomal dominant inheritance (AD) Autosomal recessive inheritance (AR) X-linked recessive inheritance (X-linked) X-linked dominant inheritance Y-linked (Holandic) inheritance

A “dominant phenotype” is one that is expressed in heterozygotes, whereas a “recessive trait” is expressed only in homozygotes

If the expression of each allele can be detected in the presence of the other, the two alleles are termed “co-dominant”

http://www.uic.edu/classes/bms/bms655/gfx/pedigree1.gif

Autosomal Dominant

Phenotypically expressed in homozygotes and heterozygotes for that gene

There is vertical inheritance (affected child usually has an affected parent)

Unaffected family members usually have unaffected partners, and they produce normal children

Affected family members, usually have unaffected partners, and they produce a 1:1 ratio of normal and affected children

Usually both sexes are equally affected, and they are equally likely to pass on the disease

Marfan syndrome

Examples

Skeletal: Marfan syndrome, Achondroplasia, Osteogenesis imperfecta

Nervous system: Huntington disease, Neurofibromatosis

Urinary: Polycystic kidney disease (Adult)

Gastrointestinal: Familial polyposis coli

Hematopoietic: Von Willebrand disease

Metabolic: Familial hypercholesterolemia, Acute intermittent porphyria

Autosomal Recessive

Expressed only in homozygotes, otherwise can be trait

There is horizontal inheritance (normal parents often have more than one affected child)

Affected individuals have phenotypically normal parents

Affected individuals usually have unaffected partners and all their children will be carriers

If a carrier has an unaffected partner, there is a 50% chance of the children being carriers

Only mating between heterozygotes (carrier) will produce affected individuals, with an expected frequency of 1 in 4

There is an association with consanguinity due to sharing of genes in families (rare recessive genetic disorders are more likely to arise through consanguinity)

Both sexes are equally affected and equally likely to pass the mutation to the next generation

X-linked Recessive

Many more males than females show the recessive phenotype

The disease is transmitted by a carrier female, who is usually asymptomatic

If a mother is a carrier, her son have a 50% chance of being affected and her daughters a 50% chance of being carriers

An affected male will usually have no affected offspring, but all his daughters will be carriers and, in turn, 50% of their sons will be affected

No sons of the affected male will inherit the gene (there is no male-to-male transmission)

Trisomies

Failure of separation (nondisjunction) of homologous chromosomes at meiosis I

Failure of separation of chromatids in meiosis II

Advancing maternal age is associated with increased incidence of trisomy

Examples

Autosomal disorders : Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)

Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome)

Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome)

Essential hypertension (62% heritability)

Atherosclerosis (65% heritability)

Peptic ulcer (37% heritability)

Schizophrenia (85% heritability)

Asthma (80% heritability)

Alzheimer disease

Prenatal diagnosis

Newborn screening

Molecular diagnosis

9/7/2012

Genetic Testing for Carrier Detection

To identify asymptomatic heterozygotes for AR traits, or AD disorders that have limited penetrance or late onset

Confined to small ethnic populations in which there is an anomalously high incidence of a particular disease

Examples : Thalassemia, Cystic fibrosis, ADPKD, Cascade screening

Prenatal diagnosis

To assure of having unaffected children when the risk of having an affected child is unacceptably high

NOT equivalent to the assurance of having normal children, It does not address all possible birth defects

Noninvasive techniques : ultrasonography, maternal serum screening

Invasive technique : amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, cordocentesis

DNA analysis (PCR, Southern blot), Cytogenetic analysis

Chorionic villi sampling

Newborn screening

To identify treatable genetic disorders such as phenylketonuria, galactosemia, maple syrup urine disease, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia in newborn infants

Dietary management is usually an early intervention to eliminate clinical symptoms that would otherwise lead to severe disability, mental impairment, or dealth

Prevalence, severity of a condition, availability, effectiveness of a treatment, and cost will determine which disorder will be screened
