X-linked dominant inheritance: the basics a tutorial to show how the genes segregate to give the typical pedigree pattern Professor P Farndon, Clinical Genetics Unit, Birmingham Women’s Hospital 13.11.06 Question: How can one relate an X-linked dominant pedigree pattern to the segregation of genes at meiosis? Question: How can one relate an X-linked dominant pedigree pattern to the segregation of genes at meiosis? Answer: By imagining which of the sex chromosomes of the parents have been passed on to children Father Mother Reminder: Heterozygotes (females) with one copy of the altered gene are affected in X-linked dominant disorders. In each cell of a female, either the paternally or maternally inherited X chromosome has been inactivated at random. This ensures that the concentrations of gene products from the X chromosome are the same as in a male. Females affected by an X-linked dominant disorder are therefore usually less severely affected than males because the disease gene is not active in every cell. Hemizygotes (males) with one copy of the altered gene are affected. Gene X-Chromosome In X-linked dominant disorders, the male will be more severely affected than the female. For some conditions, the disorder is so severe that males die before birth What are the pedigree features which would suggest an X-linked dominant disorder? Dominant: • In each generation (“vertical transmission”) • Affected people have affected and unaffected children X-linked: • • • • Half of female children of affected females affected Half of male children of affected females affected No sons of affected men affected All daughters of affected men affected X-LINKED DOMINANT INHERITANCE: mother affected Parents Affected Unaffected Father An unaffected male will have an X chromosome with a normal gene and a Y chromosome Mother A woman who has an X-linked dominant disorder has one copy of an altered gene and one copy of a normal gene of the particular pair X-LINKED DOMINANT INHERITANCE: mother affected Parents Affected Unaffected Father Mother Gametes X The father passes on either his X chromosome Y or his Y chromosome (and so determines the sex of the fetus) X The mother passes on either the X chromosome containing the altered allele X or the X chromosome containing the normal allele X-LINKED DOMINANT INHERITANCE: mother affected Parents Affected Unaffected Father Mother Gametes X Y X There are four different combinations of the two chromosomes from each parent X X-LINKED DOMINANT INHERITANCE: mother affected Parents Affected Unaffected Father Mother Gametes X Y X Offspring This child has inherited the paternal X chromosome (and so is female) and the maternal X chromosome with the altered gene Daughter X X-LINKED DOMINANT INHERITANCE: mother affected Parents Affected Unaffected Father Mother Gametes X Y X X Offspring Daughter Daughter This child has inherited the paternal X chromosome (and so is female) and the maternal X chromosome with the normal gene X-LINKED DOMINANT INHERITANCE: mother affected Parents Affected Unaffected Father Mother Gametes X Y X Offspring Daughter Daughter Son X X-LINKED DOMINANT INHERITANCE: mother affected Parents Affected Unaffected Father Mother Gametes X Y X Offspring This child has inherited the paternal Y chromosome (and so is male) and the maternal X chromosome with the altered gene Son X X-LINKED DOMINANT INHERITANCE: mother affected Parents Affected Unaffected Father Mother Gametes X Y X X Offspring Daughter Daughter Son Son X-LINKED DOMINANT INHERITANCE: mother affected Parents Affected Unaffected Father Mother Gametes X Y X X Offspring This child has inherited the paternal Y chromosome (and so is male) and the maternal X chromosome with the normal gene Son X-LINKED DOMINANT INHERITANCE: mother affected Parents Affected Unaffected Father Mother Gametes X Offspring Daughter Y X X Which children are affected by the disease?

They are important clinically because of the high risks to other family members. Gene X-Chromosome Pedigrees demonstrating X-linked dominant or mitochondrial inheritance can look similar: look for particular clues from the pedigree In X-linked dominant inheritance • each son and daughter of an affected woman has a one in two chance of inheriting the X-chromosome which has the disease gene and so being affected. • all the daughters of an affected man are affected because they all inherit his single X chromosome on which is located the disease gene. All his sons are unaffected. A pedigree caused by mitochondrial inheritance (ie due to a mutation in the DNA in the mitochondria rather than a mutation in the nuclear DNA) classically shows • all the children (male and female) of an affected woman are affected. • None of the children of an affected man are affected because mitochondria are not transmitted in sperm.
