Human Genetics Ch 12
Chromosomal Mutations Genetic Diseases….
Ultrasound • Sonic picture of fetus • Boy or girl?
Amniocentesis • Remove amniotic fluid with baby’s cells • Observe karyotype • 1% risk to fetus
Nondisjunction • Failure of homologous chromosomes to separate properly during meiosis • Karyotype will show extra or missing chromosomes
Diseases from Nondisjunction • Down’s syndrome extra 21 • Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome) • Klinefelter’s syndrome 47 XXY • Turner Syndrome 45X • Edwards Syndrome Trisomy 18 • Cri-du-Chat Syndrome missing part of Chromosome #5 Link
Downs Syndrome • 1/700 live births • Extra chromosome #21 • Mental retardation • Short • Heart defects • Same facial features • More frequent in mothers over 40
Trisomy 13 • Patau syndrome rare 1/20,000 • Extra #13 • Not alert • Deaf • Harelip • Cleft palate • Polydactyly • Live ~6 months
Klinefelters • 47 XXY • 2/1000 male births • Male but sterile
Turners • 45X_ • Female, usually sterile and sexually immature • Short, webbed neck
Edwards • Extra #18 • Smaller • Ears low and malformed • Webbed neck • Receding chin • Usually die of pneumonia or heart failure
Cri-du-chat (missing part of chromosome #5) • Heart problems • Mental retardation • Abnormality in larynx - cries like a cat
1. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) • Defective protein in plasma membrane • Mucus clogs lungs, liver, pancreas • 1/20 white am. are carriers • 1/2000 white americans born with CF • Physical therapy, special diet, drug therapy, gene therapy raised life exp to adulthood
2. Tay Sachs Disease • Missing enzyme that breaks down a lipid produced and stored in tissues of the central nervous system • Newborns appear normal for 5 months • Blind, paralyzed, mentally retarded, die before age 5 • 1/1600 Amish and Jews of Eastern European descent

3. Phenylketonuria (PKU) • Failure of brain to develop • Absence of enzyme that converts phenylalanine to tyrosine, so amino acid builds up in the body • Most common in people with ancestors from Norway or Sweden
Testing • Can detect in newborns, appear normal at first, but milk is high in phenylalanine
Special diet • Avoid foods with phenylalanine • PKU warnings on diet foods
Mom with PKU • Can have high phenylalanine in blood and can damage the fetus even if the fetus is normal • Control diet
