Major Components of a Gene Promoter: The DNA region that signal initiation of transcription 5’-Untranslated Region: A short DNA sequence rich in GC pairs present in the 5’-flanking region of the gene Exon: Segment of a gene which is decoded to give an mRNA product or a mature mRNA product Major Components of a Gene Intron: Noncoding DNA which separates neighboring exons in a gene 3’-Untranslated Region: A short DNA sequence in the 3’-flanking region of the gene that contains polyadenylation signal Codon: A nucleotide triplet which specifies an amino acid or a signal for terminating the synthesis of a polypeptide The Genetic Code Three-nucleotide sequences (codons) control selection of amino acids for protein synthesis Four kinds of Nucleic acids in mRNA: Adenine, Guanine, Uracil, Cytosine Commaless and nonoverlapping within a reading frame The Genetic Code Non-ambiguous (no codon is specific for two different products) Redundant (or Degenerate) Code degeneracy usually in the third position of the codon Major Components of a Gene Open reading frame (ORF): A long sequence of DNA in which there are no termination codons Example: 5’…TGTCCCGGCATGGATATCCGGAACAACCTCACTAGG…3' …CysProGlyMetAspIleArgAsnAsnLeuThrArg… Gene Transcription 5’-Capping 3’-Polyadenylation Intron Splicing Basic Concepts in Gene Mapping genomic DNA: the entire complement of genetic material mRNA: RNA that is transcribed from the genomic DNA of a gene cDNA: DNA which is synthesized by the enzyme reverse transcriptase using mRNA as a template Basic Concepts in Gene Mapping Genomic DNA Transcription mRNA Reverse Transcription cDNA Basic Concepts in Gene Mapping Genomic DNA Transcription Pre-mRNA Splicing Mature mRNA Reverse Transcription cDNA Basic Concepts in Modern Genetic Epidemiology Allele: Alternative forms of a gene or DNA sequence at a specific chromosomal location Allelic association: Any significant association between specific alleles at two or more neighboring loci Allelic heterogeneity: Different mutations at the same locus cause the same phenotype Basic Concepts in Modern Genetic Epidemiology Locus: The physical location of a gene Locus heterogeneity: A phenotype may be caused by mutations at more than one gene locus Basic Concepts in Modern Genetic Epidemiology Mutation: A change in the DNA Polymorphism: A locus with more than one allele, each of which occurs with at least 1% frequency Point Mutations Base substitutions » Change in a single nucleotide » Transitions: changes from purine-purine or pyrimidine-pyrimidine. – Examples: AG, TC » Transversions: changes from purine to pyrimidine or vice versa. – Examples: AT, GC Point Mutations Synonymous substitutions: A substitution which replaces one codon by another without changing the amino acid that is specified =silent mutation Non-synonymous substitutions: A substitution which replaces one codon by another with changing the amino acid that is specified =missense mutation Mutations Deletions - small and large » Example: insulin receptor gene » TTCAAGAGATgATTCAGATGG (small) » Entire gene (large) Mutations Insertions » Example: ACE Gene – Intron 16 D/I (289-bp Alu-I repeat sequence) Inversions » Example: IDS Gene – Inversions of Exons 8 and 9 Point Mutations Missense mutation: A codon change can occur, such that a new amino acid is coded for. Nonsense mutation: A stop codon can be created, causing termination of synthesis. Silent mutation: If no change in product is observed, because of the redundancy of the genetic code. Frameshift Mutation: Change in reading frame, usually by deletion or insertion of one or more nucleotides. Point Mutations Splicing mutation: Changes in the splice donor/acceptor site or branch site that cause aberrant splicing » Example: Insulin receptor gene – Intron4 AG GG (splice acceptor site) Regulatory mutation: Changes in promoter site sequences that can affect the rate of transcription » Example: IL1 alpha gene – GGCAACA(CT)CATTGAAGGC (-889 relative to the transcription initiation site) Mitosis and Meiosis Mitosis: A type of nuclear division that results in two daughter cells identical to the original cell Meiosis: The process of two successive nuclear divisions resulting in cell with 1/2 the genetic complement of the original cell Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Hardy and Weinberg discovered that for a given population, under certain stable conditions, gene frequencies tended to remain constant Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Let p = freq.
