two factors:

ƒ Parents of an affected child are asymptomatic carriers of mutant
alleles.
ƒ The parents of the affected person may in some cases be
consanguineous.
• This is especially likely if the gene responsible for the condition is rare in the

ƒ Allelic heterogeneity
• Allelic heterogeneity is an important cause of clinical variation.
Many loci possess more than one mutant allele; in fact, at a given
locus there may be several or many mutations. Sometimes, these
different mutations result in clinically indistinguishable or closely
similar disorders. In other cases, different mutant alleles at the
same locus result in very different clinical presentations.

muscles also become weak and waste away. Myotonic dystrophy can

thi rare
disorder commonly occurs during young adulthood. However, it can
occur at any age and is extremely variable in degree of severity.
ƒ The myotonic dystrophy gene
gene, found on chromosome 19
19, codes for a
protein kinase that is found in skeletal muscle, where it likely plays a
regulatory role.
ƒ An unusual feature of this illness is that its symptoms usually become
more severe with each successive generation. This is because
mistakes in the faithful copying of the gene from one generation to the
next result in the amplification of a genomic 'AGC/CTG triplet repeat',
similar to that found
fo nd in Huntington
H ntington disease
disease. Unaffected indi
individuals
id als ha
have
e
between 5 and 27 copies of AGC/CTG, myotonic dystrophy patients
who are minimally affected have at least 50 repeats, while more
severely affected patients have an expansion of up to several kilobase
pairs.
Albinism
ƒ Albinism Congenital absence of normal pigmentation
or coloration in a p
person,, an animal,, or a plant.
p
People
p with
albinism have little or no pigment in their eyes, skin, or hair.
They have inherited genes that do not make the usual
amounts of a pigment called melanin.
melanin The albinism gene is
"recessive" — it does not result in albinism unless a person
has two copies of the gene for albinism and no copy of the
gene that makes normal pigment. When both parents carry
the gene, and neither parent has albinism, there is a one in
four chance at each pregnancy that the baby will be born
with albinism. This type of inheritance is called autosomal
recessive inheritance.

ƒ Sickle Cell Disease
• Sickle Cell Disease is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders.
Normal red blood cells are round like doughnuts, and they move
through small blood tubes in the body to deliver oxygen. Sickle red
blood cells become hard, sticky and shaped like sickles used to cut
wheat. When these hard and pointed red cells go through the small
blood tube,
tube they clog the flow and break apart
apart. This can cause pain
pain,
damage and a low blood count, or anemia.
ƒ What makes the red cell sickle?
• There is a substance in the red cell called hemoglobin that carries
oxygen inside the cell. One little change in this substance causes
the hemoglobin to form long rods in the red cell when it gives away
oxygen These rigid rods change the red cell into a sickle shape
