BASIC MEDICAL GENETICS CONCEPTS
Slide 2-

mutation effect on protein function phenotypic expression classes of genetic disease
Slide 3-

Mutations result in different alleles alleles are classified as “dominant” or “recessive” dominant phenotypes – observable in heterozygotes recessive phenotypes – observable only in homozygotes
Slide 4-

loss-of-function (most common) e.g. Decreased amount normal protein: Inborn errors of metabolism as in Tay-Sachs [recessive] Haploinsufficiency as in FH [dominant] gain-of-function e.g. Gene dosage effects as in trisomy 21 [dominant]; Dominant-negative effect as in OI [dominant] Abnormal protein properties as in HD [dominant] novel property e.g. HbS [recessive] inappropriate expression e.g. Oncogenes in cancer Mutations are classified by effect on protein function
Slide 5-

complementation as in XP, profound hearing loss penetrance (100% - achondroplasia - unusual) variable expression Variations in phenotypic manifestation of mutant alleles are due to:
Slide 6-

allelic heterogeneity: hemophilia variants locus heterogeneity: hyperphenylalanemias modifier loci: Waardenburg syndrome (methylation); Alzheimer’s (multiple genes); SNPs environment (XP, α-1 antitrypsin deficiency) Causes of variable expression:
Slide 7-

Common classes of genetic disease: enzyme defects (PKU; Lesch-Nyhan; Tay-Sachs; I-cell disease; XP) Almost always recessive. Pathophysiology due to substrate accumulation,product deficiency, or both. When substrate is diffusible, the pathophysiology is unpredictable; when substrate can’t diffuse, the cell in which it accumulates is damaged. Several enzyme functions can be affected.
Slide 8-

Defects in receptor proteins (Familial hypercholesterolemia) Transport defects (Cystic fibrosis) Disorders of structural proteins (Duchenne muscular dystrophy; Osteogenesis imperfecta) Neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer’s disease; triplet repeat disorders) Mitochondrial diseases (MELAS, MERRF) Pharmacogenetic diseases (malignant hyperthermia; G6DP) Common classes of genetic disease (cont.):
Slide 9-

Triplet Repeat Disorders Dynamic expansion of DNA triplet repeats Normal alleles polymorphic Inheritance dominant or recessive Presymptomatic, symptomatic expansion size varies Base sequence, location of repeat varies Parent-of-origin effects on repeat expansion varies (anticipation) Stability during meiosis and mitosis varies (variable expression)
Slide 10-

Huntington Disease (autosomal dominant) Spinobulbar muscular atrophy (X-linked recessive; androgen receptor) CAG repeat Anticipation: expansion occurs preferentially during male gametogenesis Variable expression: mitotic instability low (limited mosaicism) Protein aggregation, not loss-of-function Polyglutamine disorders
Slide 11-

Fragile X Syndrome X-linked recessive CGG repeat in 5’ untranslated region of FRA gene (posttranscriptional regulator; methylation effects) Most common form of hereditary mental retardation Anticipation: expansion occurs preferentially in female gametogenesis Variable expression: Mitotic instability high Disease caused by loss of function; very large expansions needed
Slide 12-

Myotonic Dystrophy Autosomal dominant CTG repeat in 3’ untranslated region of protein kinase gene; mechanism of pathophysiology unknown. Anticipation: either parent can transmit amplified copy; massive expansion occurs only in maternal gametogenesis Variable expression: mitotic instability high Abnormal transcript processing, not deletions, point mutations, etc.
Slide 13-

Freidreich ataxia Autosomal recessive GAA repeat in intron of mitochondrial gene frataxin (involved in iron metabolism). Anticipation: no parent of origin effects Variable expression: mitotic instability low Loss of function 4% are compound heterozygotes (expansion/point mutation)
Slide 14-

Mitochondrial Disorders 3 types of mutations missense mutations in coding regions of genes that alter activity of OXPHOS proteins (Leigh disease-ATPase) point mutations in tRNA or rRNA genes that impair mitochondrial protein synthesis (MELAS; MERRF) rearrangements that generate deletions/duplications in mtDNA ( not usually transmitted from affected mother to offspring; disorders occur as sporadic new cases-Kearns-Sayre syndrome) Maternal inheritance Usually heteroplasmic (phenotypic expression: reduced penetrance, variable expression, pleiotropy)
Slide 15-

Pharmacogenetic Diseases Unanticipated reactions to medications largely/entirely genetic (6.7% incidence in American hospitals; 0.3% fatal). Single gene defects or multifactorial Examples: Malignant hyperthermia (autosomal dominant-Ca+ release channel; other loci) Acute Intermittent Porphyria (autosomal dominant disease: drug-related alteration in gene expression of heme biosynthetic enzyme) G6PD (X-linked recessive; more than 400 variants; most common disease-producing single gene enzyme defect of humans) Acetylation polymorphism (slow or rapid drug inactivation)
