General concept
Genetic definition: branch of science which studies genes and the pattern of inheritance of particular diseases.
Inheritance: The passing of familial elements from one generation to the next.

DNA : molecule encodes the genetic information.
Gene: gene is the functional subunit of DNA and contain instruction for making protein.
Genetic pedigree: a diagrammatic representation of diseases history in a family up to 3rd degree relative.

Pattern of inheritance
Chromosome: A structure within the cell that deliver the genetic material as DNA.

Pattern of inheritance
Human cell contain 23 pairs of chromosomes. 22 pairs autosomal and one pair sex chromosomes.
23chromosomes inherited from mother and 23 chromosomes from father.
Sex chromosomes: XX for female and XY for male.

Pattern of inheritance
Mutant gene: means abnormal gene which can not perform its function in proper way.
Affected individual: individual who is known to has disease.
Carrier individual: individual who appear normal but has one copy of mutant gene.

Pattern of inheritance
Autosomal dominant
Autosomal recessive

Multifactorial inheritance

Genetic screening
Definition: A search in apparently normal population for individual with abnormal genes which increase their risk or their offspring of being affected by a disease.

Types of genetic screening
1. Carrier identification
2. Prenatal diagnosis
3. Newborn screening
4. Forensic screening ( paternity test)

Genetic counselling Definition: providing of information regard
health and support by a specialist doctor “a geneticist” to client (a person who perform genetic test).
Function of genetic counselling session: Provide information Available solution Help person to understand and cope with his
condition Testing the risk of recurrance
