Question
Answer
multifactorial inheritance   determined by 2 or more genes, conditioned by non-genetic influences; examples: cleft lip or palate, congenital heart dz, CAD, HTN, gout, DM, pyloric stenosis  
🗑
advantages of FISH over cytogenetics   able to detect submicroscopic aberrations, can use non-dividing (in interphase) cells for analysis  
🗑
Down syndrome   trisomy 21, most common constitutional chr abnormality, 1/700 births, associated with advanced maternal age  
🗑
physical features of Down syndrom   prominent epicanthal folds, low-set ears, macroglossia, MR, abundant neck skin, duodenal atresia ("double bubble"), congenital heart defects, HYPOtonicity, predisposition to leukemia  
🗑
del(22q11.2) or DiGeorge/velocardiofacial syndrome   microdeletion syndrome causing nasal-sounding speech, congenital heart defects, hypocalcemia and T-cell immunodeficiency b/c 4th pharyngeal pouch is absent = thymic and parathyroid a/hypoplasia  
🗑
trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome)   lethal trisomy, 1/8000 births, clenched fists/HYPERtonicity can be seen on son, clinodactyly, intrauterine growth defects, congenital heart problems  
🗑
trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome)   lethal trisomy, midline defects = cleft lip and palate, holoprosencephaly, fusion of frontal lobes, agenesis of cerebellar vermis  
🗑
term for inactivation of one X chr   lyonization  
🗑
heteropyknosis of one X chr results in?   Barr body, occurs after 16th day of life  
🗑
higher # of X chr can be associated with greater likelihood of phenotypic effect and MR   XXY, XXXY  
🗑
Turner syndrome   45XO, 1/2-3,000 births; phenotype: short stature, coarctation of aorta, webbed neck, streak ovaries = menopause before menarche, widely-spaced nipples. usually short females without mental compromise  
🗑
Klinefelter syndrome   XXY or XXXY, 1/500 births, more common than Down syndrome, phenotype: hypogonadism, pear-shaped figure due to overproduction of androgens that are converted peripherally to estrogen, long legs, infertility, no MR  
🗑
genetic sex   determined by presence/absence of sex-determining region of the Y chr (SRY gene)  
🗑
gonadal sex   histological appearance of gonads  
🗑
ductal sex   presence of Mullerian or Wolffian ducts  
🗑
genital or phenotypic sex   appearance of external genitalia  
🗑
true hemaphrodite   have both ovarian and testicular tissue, XX- or XY- cell lines  
🗑
female hemaphrodite   XX with ovaries but male external genitalia b/c they weren't able to respond to estrogens in utero. CAH - defect in enzyme resulting in overproduction of androgens  
🗑
male hemaphrodite   Y chr and testes but external genitalia are ambiguous or overtly female, results from androgen insensitivity, AR is defective so not able to respond even to nl levels of testosterone/DHT  
🗑
Fragile X syndrome   X-linked disorder, 200 or more CGG repeats in noncoding region of FMR-1 gene; phenotype: long face and mandible, large and everted ears, macro-orchidism, 2nd most common cause of MR  
🗑
inheritance pattern of fragile X syndrome   X-linked with differences; female carriers show manifestation usually, worsens with each generation (Sherman paradox) so grandfather was prob not affected, mother was mildly, grandson has full blown dz  
🗑
example of trinucleotide repeat disorder   affects coding region - Huntington dz  
🗑
mitochondrial disorder   COMPLETE maternal transmission; organs that use oxidative phosphorylation are affected, heteroplasmy, threshold effect. ex: Leber hereditary optic neuropathy  
🗑
heteroplasmy   tissues or entire organism harbor both mutant and WT-mitochondrial DNA  
🗑
Prader-Willi   disorder of genomic imprinting & microdeletion syndrome; mother has imprinted (silenced by methylation) chr 15 so when dad passes down chr 15 with microdeletion in that region + mom's silenced chr 15, dz develops  
🗑
Angelman syndrome   disorder of genomic imprinting & microdeletion syndrome; father has imprinted (silenced by methylation) chr 15 so when mom passes down chr 15 with microdeletion in that region + dad's silenced chr 15, dz develops  
🗑
indications for prenatal genetic testing   advanced maternal age, parent has chr aberration, prev child with one, sono-detected abnormalities, parent is carrier of an X-linked disorder  
🗑
indications for postnatal genetic testing   multiple congenital anomalies, MR/developmental delay, suspected autosomal numerical or structural or sex chr aberration, suspected fragile X, infertility, multiple spontaneous ab or FMHx of miscarriages  
🗑
