Inheritance of Genetic Traits

Brief History
First there was Gregor Mendel, a monk who studied inherited characteristics. This was followed by Francis crick and James Watson who unraveled the DNA molecule. This has led us to understanding the human genome sequence

Gregor Mendel
1866Gregor Mendel
published the results of his investigations of the inheritance of "factors" in pea plants.

Watson and Crick
Watson and Crick made a model of the DNA molecule and proved that genes determine heredity

Genetic code
1966The Genetic code was
discovered; scientists are now able to predict characteristics by studying DNA. This leads to genetic engineering, genetic counseling.

Gene Therapy
1990.Gene therapy was
used on patients for the first time.

Cloning Begins
1997.Dolly the sheep - the
first adult animal clone.

Human Genome Project
Imagine a world in which we will be able to treat diseases by altering our very genes‚ giving us new ones if ours are non-functional, changing bad genes for good ones. For the first time in our existence, we are closer to understanding just what we are. We now have the tools to make the whole world better through science ‚ the science of the human genome.

MutationsGene mutations can be either inherited
from a parent or acquired. A hereditary mutation is a mistake that is present in the DNA of virtually all body cells. Hereditary mutations are also called germ line mutations because the gene change exists in the reproductive cells and can be passed from generation to generation, from parent to newborn. Moreover, the mutation is copied every time body cells divide
![Page 11: Genetic Disorders](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681354d550346895d9caa6b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mutations occur all the time in every cell in the body. Each cell, however, has the remarkable ability to recognize mistakes and fix them before it passes them along to its descendants. But a cell's DNA repair mechanisms can fail, or be overwhelmed, or become less efficient with age. Over time, mistakes can accumulate.

Down’s Syndrome
Caused by non-disjunction of the 21st chromosome.
This means that the individual has a trisomy (3 – 2lst chromosomes).

Sickle Cell Anemia
An inherited, chronic disease in which the red blood cells, normally disc-shaped, become crescent shaped.
As a result, they function abnormally and cause small blood clots. These clots give rise to recurrent painful episodes called "sickle cell pain crises".
![Page 25: Genetic Disorders](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681354d550346895d9caa6b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Sickle Cell
Sickle cell disease is most commonly found in African American populations.
This disease was discovered over 80 years ago, but has not been given the attention it deserves.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF)
Cause: deletion of only 3 bases on chromosome 7
Fluid in lungs, potential respiratory failure
Common among Caucasians…1 in 20 are carriers
recessive

- Progressive weakness and loss of muscles leads then to the death.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by a frame shift in the dystrophin gene, which results in the insertion of a premature stop codon and the expression of a truncated inactive protein.

Retinitis pigmentosaA group of genetic eye conditions. In the progression of symptoms that generally precedes tunnel vision by years or even decades.
Many people with RP do not become legally blind until their 40s or 50s and retain some sight all their life .

Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome
An extremely rare genetic condition where symptoms resembling aspects of aging are manifested at an early age

Hemophilia, the royal disease
Hemophilia is the oldest known hereditary bleeding disorder.
Caused by a recessive gene on the X chromosome.
There are about 20,000 hemophilia patients in the United States.
One can bleed to death with small cuts.
The severity of hemophilia is related to the amount of the clotting factor in the blood. About 70% of hemophilia patients have less than one percent of the normal amount and, thus, have severe hemophilia.

Huntington’s DiseaseHuntington's disease (HD) is an
inherited, degenerative brain disorder which results in the loss of both mental and physical control.
![Page 34: Genetic Disorders](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681354d550346895d9caa6b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Phenylketonuria or PKU
.
PKU is a metabolic disorder that results when the PKU gene is inherited from both parents (recessive)
Caused by a deficiency of an enzyme which is necessary for proper metabolism of an amino acid called phenylalanine.
![Page 35: Genetic Disorders](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681354d550346895d9caa6b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
PKUPhenylalanine is an essential amino acid
and is found in nearly all foods which contain protein, dairy products, nuts, beans, tofu… etc.
A low protein diet must be followed. Brain damage can result if the diet is not
followed causing mental retardation…and mousy body odor (phenylacetic acid is in sweat).
![Page 36: Genetic Disorders](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681354d550346895d9caa6b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Diabetes
Disease in which the body does
not produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert
sugar, starches, and other food into energy needed for daily life.
Genetic mutation can lead to Type 1 diabetes, but no one sure if relative to a specific gene
![Page 38: Genetic Disorders](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681354d550346895d9caa6b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Diabetes Type 1 reveals itself in childhood, Type 2 can be made
worse from excessive lifestyle
Warning signs Extreme thirst Blurry vision from time to time Frequent urination Unusual fatigue Unexplained weight loss
Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, blindness, and can also lead to heart disease.

Color Blindness
Cause: x-linked recessive
1/10 males have, 1/100 females have. Why the difference?
Individuals are unable to distinguish shades of red-green.
Are you color blind?

Albinism
Patients are unable to produce skin or eye pigments, and thus are light-sensitive
Autosomal recessive
