9/8/17 Week 3 Genetic Disease Detection Reviewing Gene Expression Triplet Expansion Diseases Modes of Gene<c Inheritance ex Linkage Color Blindness Discuss Katherine Moser, WJ aracle, on facing HunAngton Disease. BIO10191 Biology s Impact in Our World Dominant vs. Recessive Mutant Versions of Gene Affects a Protein Mendel s peas x = makes an active protein that performs role in plant cells that makes the pea seed smooth. = a mutant form of the protein that is defective and unable to make the pea seed become smooth. -GLY-AP-LEU-ER- In a heterozgote ( / ), why is the pea smooth? Can you imagine a different result? x (video 2:35) Why are some mutations dominant and some mutations recessive? -GLY-AP-VAL-ER- C/C Risk associated with inheritance of Hun<ngton Disease? Q1. Is the man identified in generation 3 (arrow) at risk? c/c Q2. What is the probability that he will develop Huntington s Disease? 1
9/8/17 Risk associated with inheritance of Hun<ngton Disease Q3. Is the man identified in generation 3 (arrow) at risk? Q4. What is the probability that he will develop Huntington s Disease? HTT 1st exon has expanded CAG segment Detecting a Genetic Disease 1. First step is identifying the molecular basis of the disease. The HD gene is on 4th chromosome spans 180 kb and consists of 67 exons ranging in size from 48 bp to 341 bp with an average of 138 bp. What did we learn about the cause of Huntington Disease? HD gene Mature RNA produced equencing DNA (1) Obtain DNA from an individual, (2) run Polymerase Chain Reac<on, (3) sequence amplified DNA. 1. What is expected effect on Huntingtin protein? 2. How would you design a genetic test to identify the Huntington disease gene? equencing DNA à tart Wednesday equencing DNA 2

We will finish topic and rest of slides posted here on Monday before starang next topic on AnAbioAcs/ImmunizaAons. I will remove some content from next week s lectures to get us back on the syllabus schedule. Males don t really have 23 pairs of chromosomes, Rather 22 pairs and both an and Y ( Y) chromosome. Females do have 23 pairs, the same 22 pairs as in the male and a pair ( ) of chromosomes. 3

PKU=phenylketonuria 5
9/8/17 PKU pa<ents lack a func<onal enzyme known as phenylalanine hydroxylase. In persons with PKU, dietary phenylalanine accumulates in the body. Phenylalanine accumula<on disrupts brain development, leading to severe mental disabili<es. Q1. Do you expect the gene<c disease to be recessive or dominant? Q2. How could you prevent individuals with PKU from developing the mental disabili<es caused by accumula<on of phenylalanine?
