X-Linked Recessive Disorders - PowerPoint Presentation

Slide1

X-Linked Recessive Disorders

.

Slide2

Most common X-linked disorders.

Usually

expressed only in males.

Rarely, due to random X-inactivation, a female will express disease, called manifesting

heterozygotes

.

Slide3

Pattern Of Inheritance:

Disease usually passed on from carrier mother.

Expressed in male offspring, females are carriers. Skipped generations are commonly seen. In this case, Recurrence risk is half of sons are affected, half of the daughters are carriers.

Slide4

Recurrence risk:

All the daughters are heterozygous carriers and all the sons are homozygous normal.

Slide5

Disorders:

Slide6

DISORDERS WITH MULTIFACTORIAL (POLYGENIC

) INHERITANCE

Involved in many physiologic characteristics of humans e.g. height, weight, hair

color.Defined as one governed by additive effect of two or more genes of small effect but conditioned by environmental, non genetic influences.

Slide7

The disorder becomes manifested only when a certain number of effector genes, as well as conditioning environmental influences are involved

Rate of recurrence is 2 to 7%

Cytogenetic Disorders

.

Slide10

Slide11

KARYOTYPING

Basic tool of

cytogeneticist

Karyotype is a photographic representation in which chromosomes are arranged in order of decreasing lengthGiemsa stain (G banding) technique—each chromosome can be seen to possess a distinctive pattern of alternating light and dark bands of variable widths

Slide12

Shorthand of

Cytogenetics

:

Short arm denoted as p, long arm denoted q.

Each arm divided into numbered

regions

from the

centromere

onwards.

Each region numerically arranged into

bands.

For e.g., 5p24 would denote chromosome 5, short arm, region 2 and band 4.

Slide13

Cytogenetic disorders may result from structural or numeric abnormalities of chromosomes

It may affect autosomes or sex chromosomes

Slide14

Numeric Abnormalities:

Normal Chromosomal number is 46. (2

n

=46). This is called euploid state. (Exact multiple of haploid number).Polyploidy: posession of more than two sets of homologous chromosomes. Chromosomal numbers like 3n or 4n. (Incompatible with life); generally results in spontaneous abortionAneuploidy: Any Chromosomal number that is not an exact multiple of haploid number . E.g 47 or 45.

Slide15

Aneuploidy:

Most common cause is

nondisjunction

of either a pair of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I or failure of sister chromatids to separate during meiosis II.The resultant gamete will have either one less chromosome or one extra chromosome.

Slide16

Fertilization of such gamete will result in zygote being either

trisomic

( 2

n+1 ) or monosomic ( 2n-1 ).Monosomy in autosomes is incompatible with life. Trisomy of certain autosomes and monosomy of sex chromosomes is compatible with life.

Slide17

Mosaicism

The presence of two or more types of cell populations in the same individual.

Postzygotic

mitotic nondisjunction will result in one trisomic and one monosomic daughter cell.

The descendants of these cells will produce a

mosaic.

Slide18

Structural Abnormalities:

Usually result from chromosomal breakage, resulting in loss or rearrangement of genetic material.

Patterns of breakage:

Translocation.Isochromosomes.Deletion.Inversions.Ring Chromosomes.

Slide19

TRANSLOCATION

Transfer of a part of one chromosome to another chromosome

Translocations are indicated by t

E.g. 46,XX,t(2;5)(q31;p14)Balanced reciprocal translocation is not harmful to the carrier, however during gametogenesis, abnormal gametes are formed, resulting in abnormal zygotes

Slide20

Centric fusion type or

Robertsonian

translocation:The breaks occur close to the centromere, affecting the short arms of both choromosomesTransfer of the chromosome leads to one very large and one extremely small chromosomeThe short fragments are lost, and the carrier has 45 chromosomesSuch loss is compatible with survivalHowever, during gametogenesis difficulties arise

Slide21

Slide22

ISOCHROMOSOMES

Result when one arm of a chromosome is lost and the remaining arm is duplicated, resulting in a chromosome consisting of two short arms only or of two long arms.

DELETION

Loss of a portion of chromosomeThis can be terminal (close to the end of the chromosome on the long arm or the short arm), or it can be interstitial (within the long arm or the short arm). A ring chromosome is a variant of deletion. It occurs when break occurs at both the ends of chromosome with fusion of the damaged ends.

Slide23

INVERSIONS

Occur when there are two breaks within a single chromosome with inverted reincorporation of the segment.

Since there is no loss or gain of chromosomal material, inversion carriers are normal.

An inversion is paracentric if the inverted segment is on the long arm or the short arm . The inversion is pericentric if breaks occur on both the short arm and the long arm .

Slide24

General Features of Cytogenetic Disorders:

Associated with absence, excess, or abnormal rearrangements of chromosomes.

Loss of genetic material produces more severe defects than does gain.

Abormalities of sex chromosomes generally tolerated better than those of autosomes.

Slide25

Sex chromosomal abnormalities are usually

subtle(faint & mysterious)

and are not detected at birth.

Most cases are due to de novo changes (i.e. parents are normal and recurrence in siblings is low).

Slide26

Cytogenetic Disorders involving Autosomes

.

Slide27

Trisomy 21/Down’s Syndrome

:

Most common chromosomal disorder.

Down syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality characterized by the presence of an extra copy of genetic material on the 21st chromosomeTrisomy 21 is caused by a meiotic non disjunction event.

Slide28

With

non disjunction

, a gamete (

i.e., a sperm or egg cell) is produced with an extra copy of chromosome 21; the gamete thus has 24 chromosomesWhen combined with a normal gamete from the other parent, the embyo now has 47 chromosomes, with three copies of chromosome 21.About 4% of cases are due to Robertsonian translocations.Maternal age has a strong influence.

Slide29

 

                             

  Karyotype for trisomy Down syndrome. Notice the three copies of chromosome 21

Slide30

Other Trisomy Syndromes:

Trisomy

18 :Edwards Syndrome.Around half will die within two weeks &only around one in every five will live at Least 3 months. Around one in every 12 babies born

with

Edwards

' syndrome survive beyond one year, and they

will

live with severe physical and mental disabilities.

Trisomy

13 :

Patau Syndrome

Slide32

Marfan

Syndrome

Slide33

It is a common heritable disorder ( 1 : 3000-5000 people ) affects

chromosome15 q21.1

, which affect s fibrillin-1 production which is necessary for the production of

c.t. It affects adults & children alike irrespective of gender, race or ethnic back ground.It affectsc various body systems including skeleton, NS, eyes, skin, lung, heart & blood vessels. 50000 in USA have this disease.

Slide34

Cytogenetic Disorders involving Sex Chromosomes

.

Slide35

Extreme karyotypic variations seen frequently with Sex Chromosomes, with females having 4-5 extra X Chromosomes.

Males with two to three Y chromosomes have also been identified.

Slide36

Klinefelter’s

Syndrome

:

Defined as Male Hypogonadism, develops when there are at least two X chromosomes and one or more Y chromosomes.Usual karyotype is 47,XXY. The extra X may be maternal or paternal.

Slide37

Results from

non disjunction

of sex chromosome during meiosis.

Risk factors include advanced maternal age and a history of exposure to radiation in either parent.

Slide38

Clinical Manifestations:

Increase in body length between soles and pubis.

Reduced facial, body and pubic hair. Gynecomastia.

Testicular atrophy.Infertility.Mild mental retardation.

Slide39

Turner Syndrome:

Primary

hypogonadism

in phenotypic females.Results from partial or complete monosomy of the X chromosome.

Slide40

Most common cause is absence of one X chromosome.

Less commonly, mosaicism, or deletions on the short arm of the X chromosome.
