🗑
What is the underlying probem with Familial Hypercholesterolemia?   show
🗑
show Autosomal recessive because they all have to do with a deficiency of an enzyme in the lysosome.  
🗑
show A mutation in the gene encoding for the Beta-glucocerebrosidease on Choromosome 1q. (Most carriers have about 50% activity of the enzyme)>  
🗑
How does the Gaucher's patient present? Why?   show
🗑

🗑
show Hexoaminidase A deficency b/c of a frameshift mutation in the HexA gene on chromosome 15q . Leads to an accumulation of GM2-ganglioside (swirls). High prevalence in Ashkenazi Jews, death before age 4. (Ballooned neurons). Also note Cherry red macula.

🗑
show Extra autosome 13, 95% miscarry, 95% die within the first 6 monthsextra chromosome is donated by the egg, translocations are common.  
🗑
show Microencephaly, holoprosencephaly, severe mental retardation, facial clefts, small abnormally shaped eyes, ASD, polydactyly  
🗑
