prader-willi

loss of functioning genes on proximal arm of chromosome 15 (deletion from father or both from mother) imprinting (only one copy of a gene in an individual (either from their mother or their father) is expressed, while the other copy is suppressed)

absence of the active Prader-Willi gene on the long arm of chromosome 15. This may be due to:
microdeletion of paternal 15q11-13 (70% of cases)
maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 15

growth hormone to improve muscle development and body composition

A

angelman

loss of function of the UBE3A gene, specifically the copy of the gene that is inherited from the mother. This can be caused by a deletion on chromosome 15, a specific mutation in this gene or where two copies of chromosome 15 are contributed by the father, with no copy from the mother.

29
Q

Features cri du chat? what defect?

A

5p- (5p minus) syndrome

charcateristic cry

feeding difficulties
poor weight gain

30
Q

Cardiac fragile X

A

mitral valve prolapse

31
Q

Genetics fragile X

A

Trinucleotide repeat

X linked with variable penetrance

32
Q

Inheritance achondroplaisa

A

autosomal dominant

In most cases (approximately 70%) it occurs as a sporadic mutation. The main risk factor is advancing parental age at the time of conception. Once present it is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion.

33
Q

A

short limbs (rhizomelia) with shortened fingers (brachydactyly)
large head with frontal bossing and narrow foramen magnum
midface hypoplasia with a flattened nasal bridge
‘trident’ hands
lumbar lordosis

34
Q
