Amniocentesis
• Amniocentesis is a diagnostic prenatal test that allows doctors to collect information regarding the baby’s health by gathering amniotic fluid that has cells sloughed off from the growing fetus. The cells then can be analyzed for their DNA through gene testing and karyotyping.

Chronic villi sampling
Also tests cellular material. Causes spontaneous abortions sometimes, but can get more information.

A karyotype is chart of someone’s chromosomes. The chromosomes
are organized by size, large to small.
This arrangement helps scientists be able to identify genetic disorders caused by
chromosome alterations.
To be able to make a karyotype scientists take a picture of your chromosomes , cut them out and match them depending on size,
banding pattern and centromere position.
This is an examples of a karyotype. In this example it is
easy to see that this person has Klinefelter
syndrome due to the extra Y sex
chromosome.

Different dyes and computers make karyotyping easier today.

Gene Testing
• Since the Human Genome Project identified where genes are located and what they do, we now have developed many tests to examine what form of the gene a person has. This testing can be done on embryonic stem cells early in the development or for invitro fertilization OR it can be done on cells in amniotic fluid.
• Specific to one gene/protein, but many tests can be run on one sample at the same time. DNA chips are being developed.

• Due to loss of chromosome, located on chromosome 7.

More on Cystic Fibrosis
• Blood tests look for variations of the gene in CFTR.• Exercising • Medicines (antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, bronchodilators)• Lung transplants for critical conditions
Cystic Fibrosis is common in the Caucasian population in the US. 1 in 2,500-3,500 Caucasian newborns 1 in 17,000 African Americans1 in 31,000 Asian Americans

Other recessive disorders
• Tay Sachs: can’t break down fats accumulating in the brain due to faulty enzyme (baby dies early), common in certain Jewish communities
• PKU: can’t break down phenylalanine amino acid, so low protein diet is needed.
• Sickle cell anemia: common in groups with ancestory in low latitude (tropics) as heterozygous condition protects from Malaria. African Americans most likely group in USA.
