Classification of Genetic Disorders
• Chromosomal disorders: Defect is due to an excess or a deficiency in whole chromsomes or chromsome segments (trisomy 21,Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome)
• Single gene defects: Caused by individual mutant genes
• Multifactorial inheritance: Combination of multiple genes and environmental factors. (Complex disease: diabetes mellitus, Crohn’s disease, Multiple sclerosis)
![Page 6: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Single gene disorders/ Common disease
• More then 3900 single gene defects have been catalogued
• Rare single gene disorders: usually less then 1 in 100000 births
• Common diseases: determined by combinations of genes interacting with one another and with the environment. Do not fit the characteristic patterns of inheritance observed in single gene defects.

Patterns of Inheritance
• Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) was the first person to describe how certain traits are inherited from generation to generation.
• Early 20th century Archibald Garrod recognized the existence of families in which traits segregated according to Mendel’s laws
![Page 8: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pedigrees in genetics
• Single-gene disorders show patterns of transmission in families
• Family history: 1st step in establishing pattern of inheritance
• Pedigree: A diagram of a family history indicating the family members, their relationship to the proband, and their status with respect to a particular heredity condition
![Page 9: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Family history
• In diagnosis• To clarify pattern of inheritance• Provide information if there is variation in expression
among family members• Natural history of a disease

Inheritance patterns
• Recessive: expressed only when both chromosomes of a pair carry mutant alleles at a locus (2 mutant copies)
• Dominant: expressed when one chromosome of a pair carries a mutant allele at a locus . (1 mutant copy)
![Page 12: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Autosomal recessive: increased incidence of parental consanguinity
![Page 19: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Autosomal Recessive Inheritance
• Usually parents are heterozygous carriers
• Affected individuals are usually born to unaffected parents
• Affected children are homozygous for mutant gene
• In most autosomal recessive diseases males and females are equally likely to be affected
• Carrier couple has a 1 in 4 chance of having affected offspring
• There is an increased incidence of parental consanguinity
![Page 20: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Autosomal Recessive Inheritance
• These traits are only expressed in individuals who carry two mutant alleles inherited from each parent.
• Usually due to mutations that reduce or eliminate the function of the gene product (loss-of-function)
• In many cases: mutations that impair or eliminate the function of an enzyme
![Page 21: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Most enzyme deficiencies are transmitted as autosomal recessive
![Page 24: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mutations responsible for recessive traits usually leads to:
• Lack of gene expression (eg: promoter mutations)
• Lack of protein production (eg:mutations that lead to premature termination of translation)
• Production of a protein with reduced or absent function (eg: amino acid substitution)
![Page 25: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Autosomal Dominant Inheritance
• Expressed in heterozygous or homozygous individuals
• Affects an individual of either sex
• Transmitted by either sex
• An affected person usually has at least one affected
parent
• Transmitted to 50 % of offspring
![Page 29: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type I
• Autosomal Dominant
• Marked by extreme fragility of bones
• Deficient production of the protein collagen leading to abnormal bone matrix
• Muations in COL1A1 or COL1A2 lead to reduced amounts of normal collagen
![Page 30: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Autosomal Dominant inheritance/structural gene mutations
![Page 31: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Gain-of-function mutation is achondroplasia
• Mutation in the fibroblast growth factor type 3 receptor (FGFR3) leads to Achondroplasia (a form of dwarfism)
• FGFR3 promotes differentiation of cartilage into bone.• Gain-of-function mutation constitutively activates the
receptor causing premature conversion of the growth plate into bone.

X-linked recessive inheritance
• Affects mainly males
• Affected males are usually born to unaffected parents
• Females may be affected if the father is affected and the mother is a carrier, or occasionally as a result of nonrandom X-inactivation
![Page 35: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
X-linked dominant inheritance
• Affects either sex
• Females are often more mildly and more variably affected than males
• The child of an affected female has a 50 % chance of being affected
• For an affected male, all his daughters but none of his sons are affected
![Page 36: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Y-linked inheritance
• Affects only males• Affected males always have an affected father• All sons of an affected man are affected
Mutations in Y-linked genes usually lead to male infertility therefore usually not passed on to future generations.
![Page 37: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Penetrance and Expressivity
Penetrance: The proportion of individuals of a specified genotype who show the expected phenotype
- Autosomal dominant traits occasionally may skip a generation
-Rate of penetrance applies to a population not an individual

Genomic Imprinting
• Certain genes are expressed only from the maternal or paternal chromosome
• Genomic Imprinting: Differential expression of maternally and paternally derived genes.
• Expression of the disease phenotype depends on whether the mutant allele has been inherited from the mother or the father.
![Page 41: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Genomic Imprinting
- The specific gene copy to be inactivated is always determined by the parent of origin
-Is a dynamic process: the “imprint” has to be erased and reset in each generation
-The “imprint” is reset in germ cells
-If a mutant gene is imprinted, sex of the parent it was inherited from plays a role in the expression of the disease phenotype
![Page 42: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Anticipation
• Symptoms in certain genetic disorders tend to be more severe and have earlier age of onset from generation to generation.
• Unstable repeat expansions: characterized by expansion of a segment of DNA consisting of repeating units of three or more nucleotides in tandem
![Page 44: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Huntington Disease
• Triplet repeat expansion (CAG repeat leading to expansion of polyglutamine)
• Autosomal dominant
• Progressive neurodegenerative disorder
• Anticipation: there is an earlier and earlier age of onset from generation to generation
![Page 47: Patterns of inheritance Suna Onengut-Gumuscu, PhD Center for Public Health Genomics](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e59d8/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Pathogenesis of disease due to unstable repeat expansions
• Expansion of noncoding repeats that cause a loss of protein function by impairing transcription. - Fragile X syndrome: Presence of more then 200 copies of CGG repeat in the 5’ UTR of FMR1 leads to over methylation of cytosines in the promoter
• Expansion of noncoding repeats that confer novel properties on the mRNA. - Myotonic dystrophy 1: (3’ UTR of DMPK) CTG >80 copies. Excessive binding of RNA-binding proteins quench normal RNA splicing mechanism in the cell
• Expansion of a codon leading to novel features- Huntington Disease: CAG>40 long polyglutamine sequences,
damage specific neurons
