Q

Robertsonian translocation

A

Loss of P-arm the chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22 are robertsonian chromosomes (short P-arm)

  • Segregation of robertsonian translocation can lead to trisomy, monosomy, carrier and normal.

Q

TADs

A
20
Q

Gene conversion

A
21
Q

Oocyte

A

is chromosome 23 and x

22
Q

Spermatocyte

A

Chromosome is 23, x or y

23
Q

How is the chromosome structure?

A

P-arm, Q-Arm, telomere (TTAGGG) in ends and centromere in center

24
Q

Chromosome roles

A
  • Transmits genetic information through meiosis/mitosis
  • Control expression of genetic information
25
Q

How is expression chromosomal controlled?

A

Chromosomal territories are specific, active genes are placed near the center and non-active in the periphery (this placement is fluid)

26
Q

Chromatin loops

A

occurs when stretches of genomic sequence that lie on the same chromosome (configured in cis) are in closer physical proximity to each other than to intervening sequences

27
Q

Structural abnormalities

A

Happens during chromosomes pairing includes:
- Translocation
- Inversions
- Duplication
- Deletion
- Ring
- Marker

28
Q

Numerical abnormalities

A

Happens during division errors includes:
- Polyploidies
- Aneuplodies

29
Q

Recombination event between pseudoautosomal regions near SRY on Y-chromosome

A

If the SRY moves from the Y- chromosomes leads to XX-males and XY-women

30
Q

Reciprocal translocation

A

recombination between two non-homologue chromosomes –> if no deletion at breakpoint person is normal (the breakpoint disturbs dominant gene and increases infertility

31
Q

P-arm

A

Has genes for ribosomal DNA

32
Q

Locus

A

Unique location of a gene on a chromosome

33
Q

Allele

A

Alternative version of a gene

34
Q

Hemizygote

A

Only have one allele

35
Q

Multifactoral

A

Mutations in several genes plus milieu
- Higher severity equeals greater recurrance

36
Q

Locus heterogeneity

A

Mutation in different genes leads to same disease

37
Q

Allele heterogeneity

A

Mutation in same gene leads to same disease (can also be different mutation that leads to different disease)

38
Q

Compound heterozygote

A

Has two different allele mutations and no healthy allele, leads to an in between phenotype

39
Q

X-inactivation

A

is a process by which one of the copies of the X chromosome is inactivated in therian female mammals.

40
Q

Allelic homogeneity

A
41
Q

Haploinsufficiency

A
42
Q

Non-allelic homologous

A
43
Q

balanced abnormality

A
44
Q

difference between mandelian and complex herritage conditions
