GENETIC DISEASES Define disease • abnormal condition affecting the body of an organism – may be caused by external factors or it may be caused by internal dysfunctions – Ex. Limes disease Ex. Celiacs Disease Genetic disease • Can a genetic disease be inherited? Think about it! • Would you want to know if you had a genetic disease? Why? • Carrying the genetics for a disease does not mean you will develop the disease. Would you still want to know you carry the genes for the disease? • If you had a life threatening disease and you have had children, would you get them tested or leave the choice up to them? Diagnostic Tools • Using diagnostic tools can be used to identify various types of common genetic disorders: – Ultrasound – Chorionic Villus Sampling – Amniocentesis – Karyotype – Human Genome Project – Pedigree Ultrasound CVS: Chorionic Villus Sampling Preformed earlier in pregnancy •10-12 weeks' gestation Increases risk of miscarriage 0.5-1% A catheter or needle is used to biopsy placental cells Amniocentesis Preformed later in pregnancy •15-18 weeks' gestation Increases rate of miscarriage: 0.25-0.5% A needle is used to sample amniotic fluid Why risk miscarriage? •Women 35 years of age or older are at increased risk for infants with Down syndrome and certain other types of aneuploidy (abnormal # of chromosomes) •Creating karyotype from CVS or amniocentesis gives a definitive answer about possible aneuploidy. Karyotype (normal male; left, normal female, right) Abnormal Karyotype Human Genome Project (HGP) The HGP was a 13-year project that was completed in 2003 The 6 goals of the project: •identify •determine •store •improve •transfer •address issues that may arise from the project Pedigree of genetic inheritance Pedigrees can show how genetics are inherited throughout a family. They show whether a trait is dominant, recessive or sex-linked. Numbering individuals in pedigrees Is shaded recessive or dominant? Fill in the genotypes: complete dominance example Famous pedigree: hemophilia
