Molecular and biochemical basis of disease
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Molecular Disease does what to DNA? | Mutation in DNA that alters function in protein. |
| What are the 4 different effects on proteins that cause mutations? | 1. Loss of function // 2. Gain of function // 3. Gain of novel property by mutant protein // 4. Expression of gene at: wrong location and/or wrong time |
| Types of mutation Insertions/ Deletions/ Rearrangements/ Nucleotide substitutions/ are what type of effects on proteins? | Loss of Function |
| What disease is an example of loss of function due to a deletion? | Alpha-Thalassemias |
| What disorders are m/c single gene disorders in humans? | Disorders in Hemoglobins |
| What is the most common human gene disorders? | Thalassemia |
| Of Thalassemia disorders what is the most common form? | Alpha-Thalassemia |
| Heterozygote Sickle Cell Hemoglobin (HbS) is clinically normal unless subjected to what? | Low oxygen pressure (flying high altitudes with low cabin pressure) causes RBC to become sickle shape and stick together not allowing flow through capillaries. |
| Allelic Heterogeneity | More than one allele causes disease |
| Locus Heterogeneity | More than one locus (gene) causes disease. |
| Phenotypic Heterogeneity | Affects each person differently. // Different mutations in same gere cause completely different phenotypes. // Ex Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RET) |
| Sickle cell would be an allelic heterogeneity? true or false? | False: Sickle cell only has one allele change. |
| What would be an example of Defects in Receptor Proteins-cell membrane location? | Familial Hypercholesterolemia |
| Familial Hypercholesterolemia: Homozygous affected risk? // Heterozygous affected risk? // Mode of Inheritance? // Does allelic heterogeneity exist with this disease? | Homo = 100% affected // Hete = 50% affected // Autosomal Dominant // Yes allelic heterogeneity exist b/c more than one allele causes the same disease |
| Give Example of Transport Defect Disease. | Cystic Fibrosis: Autosomal recessive /// Salty baby b/c chloride channel in epithelial cells // lung mucus problem b/c of this and increased risk of infections // Avg Age Death 33 |
| What disease is a Structural Protein Disorder? | Duchenne Muscular Dystrophies: X-Linked // Death 20 yrs old // |
| What disease is caused by an Expansion of Unstable Repeat Sequences? | Most are Neurological // Huntington's Disease: Autosomal Dominant // Novel property mutants is a new function of protein that damage neurons. // |
