HEREDITARY DISEASES

genetically conditioned disorders caused by
mutations
 various range
diverse exposures
 mutation of one gene = monogenous
 mutated allele is inactive and produces a
non-functional protein

HEREDITARY DISEASES
phenylketonuria:
 metabolism disorder
 enzyme defect
 phenylalanine accumulates in the body
 by a newborn undetected=> irreversible
damage to nerve cells
 severe mental retardation

HEREDITARY DISEASES
phenylketonuria:
 in the Czech Republic, all
newborns are investigated
 treatment – proper diet > use of
special diet without phenylalanine

HEREDITARY DISEASES
albinism:
lack
of an enzyme mediating the
synthesis of melanin
albino
people usually have:
strikingly
blond
pink skin
hair
grey-blue
sight
iris with reflection red
diseases
HEREDITARY DISEASES
cystic
fibrosis mucoviscidosis:
serious
illness
relatively
disorder:
common
due to transport of
osmotically active ions into the cells
in the alveoli large amounts of mucus
creates
HEREDITARY DISEASES
cystic
fibrosis mucoviscidosis: :
disabled
require
children:
considerable care
permanent
monitoring
they
can be suffocated by the created
mucus
despite
medical care they usually die at
the age of 30
HEREDITARY DISEASES
heredity
of diseases is controlled by the
Mendel´s laws
phenylketonuria,
diseases
cystic fibrosis, albinism:
inherited as a recessive feature
affected
individual is a recessive
homozygote > he/she has both the mutant
alleles in the gene
his/her
parents are usually healthy
heterozygotes
HEREDITARY DISEASES
these
people (the so-called.
carriers) have a 25% chance that
their child will be born with autosomal
recessive disease
genes lie on autosomes =
autosomally recessive disease
HEREDITARY DISEASES
alkaptonuria:
metabolic
disorder
caused by an enzyme defect, involved
in the biochemical conversion of the
amino acid of tyrosine
unchanged metabolite is stored in
tissues and organs
irreversible damage to the joints and
spine occurs
