Cytogenetics
• A subdiscipline within genetics
• Focuses on chromosome variations
• Abnormal number of copies of genes or chromosomes can lead to genetic abnormalities
• Human genome sequence information is used to identify genes that contribute to the chromosome-related syndromes

Portrait of a Chromosome
• Primarily DNA and protein• Described by size and shape• Heterochromatin (dark)• Euchromatin (light)• Contains:
– Telomeres– Origin of replication sites– Centromere
![Page 4: Chromosomes. Cytogenetics A subdiscipline within genetics Focuses on chromosome variations Abnormal number of copies of genes or chromosomes can lead](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d3a5503460f94a14384/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Chromosomes
• Heterochromatin is darkly staining, contains mostly repetitive DNA
• Euchromatin contains more protein encoding genes
• Telomeres are chromosome tips composed of many repeats of TTAGGG and shorten with each cell division
• Centromere is the largest constriction of the chromosome and where spindle fibers attach

Chromosomal Abnormalities
![Page 13: Chromosomes. Cytogenetics A subdiscipline within genetics Focuses on chromosome variations Abnormal number of copies of genes or chromosomes can lead](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d3a5503460f94a14384/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Abnormal Chromosome # -Polyploidy
• Polyploidy– An entire extra set of
chromosome
• Example: Triploidy
– One egg fertilized by 2 sperm
OR
– A diploid egg fertilized by one sperm
– A diploid sperm fertilizes an egg
![Page 14: Chromosomes. Cytogenetics A subdiscipline within genetics Focuses on chromosome variations Abnormal number of copies of genes or chromosomes can lead](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d3a5503460f94a14384/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Abnormal Chromosome # -Aneuploidy
• Missing a single chromosome (monosomy)– OR -
• Having one extra chromosome (trisomy)
• Euploid =“good set” • Aneuploid =“not good set”
• Caused by nondisjunction during meiosis
![Page 15: Chromosomes. Cytogenetics A subdiscipline within genetics Focuses on chromosome variations Abnormal number of copies of genes or chromosomes can lead](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d3a5503460f94a14384/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Nondisjunction at Meiosis I
![Page 16: Chromosomes. Cytogenetics A subdiscipline within genetics Focuses on chromosome variations Abnormal number of copies of genes or chromosomes can lead](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d3a5503460f94a14384/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Nondisjunction at Meiosis II
![Page 17: Chromosomes. Cytogenetics A subdiscipline within genetics Focuses on chromosome variations Abnormal number of copies of genes or chromosomes can lead](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d3a5503460f94a14384/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Nondisjunction at Mitosis
• Results in a mosaic– Some cell populations are
affected while others are not
• Severity of symptoms depends on how early in development the nondisjunction occurs.

Autosomal Aneuploids
• Usually lethal
• Those that survive often have mental retardation
• Most common for chromosomes 13, 18, and 21. Why?

![Page 29: Chromosomes. Cytogenetics A subdiscipline within genetics Focuses on chromosome variations Abnormal number of copies of genes or chromosomes can lead](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d3a5503460f94a14384/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Sex Chromosome Aneuploids: Male
• Jacobs Syndrome (XYY)
• 1/1000 males has an extra Y
• 96% of XYY males are normal
• Tall height and acne
• Criminals with chromosomal abnormalities tend to have XYY
![Page 30: Chromosomes. Cytogenetics A subdiscipline within genetics Focuses on chromosome variations Abnormal number of copies of genes or chromosomes can lead](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d3a5503460f94a14384/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Abnormal Chromosome Structure
• Deletion =missing genetic material– Can range in size (the
more genes deleted, the worse the phenotype)
• Duplication =a region of the chromosome where genes are repeated
• Inversion =the DNA sequence in a region of the chromosome is inverted
• Translocation =a piece of the chromosome is moved to another chromosome
![Page 31: Chromosomes. Cytogenetics A subdiscipline within genetics Focuses on chromosome variations Abnormal number of copies of genes or chromosomes can lead](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d3a5503460f94a14384/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Translocation• Nonhomologous chromosome exchange segments
Two major types:• Robertsonian translocation • Two nonhomologous acrocentric chromosomes break at the centromere and long arms fuse. The short arms are often lost. • 5% of Down syndrome results from a Robertsonian translocation between chr 21 and chr 14.• Reciprocal translocation • Two nonhomologous chromosomes exchange a portion of their chromosome arms.

Segregation of a Robertsonian Translocation

Reciprocal Translocation
• Exchange of material from one chromosome arm to another • Some individuals carry a translocation but are not missing any genetic material unless a translocation breakpoint interrupts a gene
![Page 34: Chromosomes. Cytogenetics A subdiscipline within genetics Focuses on chromosome variations Abnormal number of copies of genes or chromosomes can lead](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649d3a5503460f94a14384/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Inversions
• Inverted chromosomes have a region flipped in orientation
• 5-10% cause health problems probably due to disruption of genes at the breakpoints
• Inversions may impact meiotic segregation • Two types of inversions occur:• Paracentric
– inverted region does NOT include centromere• Pericentric
– inverted region includes centromere
