Molecular Diagnostics Molecular Detection of Inherited Diseases Chapter 13 1 2 Molecular Diagnostics Models of Disease Etiology Genetic (inherited) Environmental (somatic) Multifactorial (polygenic + somatic) 3 Molecular Diagnostics Family History of Phenotype is Illustrated on a Pedigree Diagram 4 Molecular Diagnostics Pedigree Diagrams Reveal Transmission Patterns 5 Molecular Diagnostics Pedigree Diagrams Reveal Transmission Patterns 6 Molecular Diagnostics Pedigree Diagrams Reveal Transmission Patterns 7 Molecular Diagnostics Transmission Patterns AR, AD, or sex-linked patterns are observed in single-gene disorders (diseases caused by one genetic mutation). Prediction of a transmission pattern assumes Mendelian inheritance of the mutant allele. 8 Molecular Diagnostics Transmission Patterns Gain of function mutations usually display a dominant phenotype. Loss of function mutations usually display a recessive phenotype. Dominant negative patterns are observed with loss of function in multimeric proteins. Homozygous (+/+) + + + Heterozygous (+/-) - + + + + + + - + Normal phenotype Abnormal phenotype 9 Molecular Diagnostics Autosomal Recessive (AR) Transmission AR is the most frequently observed transmission pattern. The mutant phenotype is not observed in the heterozygous (normal/mutant) state. A mutation must be homozygous (mutant/mutant) to show the abnormal phenotype. AR mutations also result in an abnormal phenotype in a hemizygous (mutant/deletion) state. Loss of the normal allele, revealing the mutant allele, is called loss of heterozygosity, or LOH. LOH results from somatic (environmental, not inherited) mutations or deletions of the normal allele. 10 Molecular Diagnostics 11 Molecular Diagnostics Examples of Molecular Detection of Single Gene Disorders Hemachromatosis I: overabsorption of iron from food caused by mutations in the gene for a membrane iron transporter (hemachromatosis type I gene: HFE).

Genomic imprinting occurs during production of egg and sperm. The phenotypic effects of imprinting are revealed in diseases in which the maternal or paternal allele is lost (uniparental disomy/deletion). 29 Molecular Diagnostics Example of Diseases Affected by Genomic Imprinting Prader-Willi Syndrome: caused by regional deletion or mutation in the paternally inherited chromosome 15 Angelman Syndrome: a different disease phenotype caused by regional deletion or mutation in the maternally inherited chromosome 15 30 Molecular Diagnostics DNA Methylation Detected by Methylation Specific PCR (MSP-PCR) …GTCMeGATCMeGATCMeGTG… …GTCGATCGATCGTG… Bisulfite treatment converts unmethylated C residues to U. …GTCMeGATCMeGATCMeGTG… G CTAG CTAG CAC PCR primer Product PCR …GTUGATUGATUGTG… CTAGCTAGCACG G PCR primer No product 31 Molecular Diagnostics Other Methods for Detection of DNA Methylation Methylation-sensitive single-nucleotide primer extension PCR-RFLP with methylation sensitive restriction enzymes Southern blot with methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes 32 Molecular Diagnostics Genetic Testing Limitations Intergenic mutations in splice sites or regulatory regions may be missed by analysis of gene coding regions. Therapeutic targets (except for gene therapy) are phenotypic. Nonsymptomatic diagnosis where disease phenotype is not (yet) expressed may raise ethical concerns. Most disease and normal traits are multicomponent systems. 33 Molecular Diagnostics Multifactorial Inheritance (Complex Traits) Complex traits have no distinct inheritance pattern. Complex traits include normal traits affected by multiple loci and/or environmental factors (height, blood pressure). Quantitative traits are complex traits with phenotypes defined by thresholds. Obesity, BMI 27 kg/m Diabetes, fasting glucose 126 mg 34 Molecular Diagnostics Genetic Testing Complexities Variable expressivity: a single genetic mutation results in a range of phenotypes Genetic heterogeneity: the same phenotype results from mutations in different genes (includes diseases with multiple genetic components) Penetrance: presence of mutation without the predicted phenotype
