Hemophilia A
Hemophilia A - Symptoms
Spontaneous bleeds into joints, muscles or intracranial. excessive bruising, prolonged bleeding after injury, delayed wound healing
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
PAH mutation–> high levels of Phe because not converted to Tyr
PAH mutation–> high levels of Phe because not converted to Tyr
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
Phenylketonuria (PKU) - Symptoms
mycrocephaly and mental retardation, seizures, gait disorders, tremors

Phenylketonuria (PKU) - Symptoms
alpha1- Antitrypsin Deficiency (ATD)
Biological: SERPINA1 (serine protease inhibitor) targets elastase–> neutrophils in lung
Molecular: Z allele–> misfolded protein aggragated in liver, S allele–> unstable protein less effective

alpha1- Antitrypsin Deficiency (ATD)
alpha1- Antitrypsin Deficiency (ATD) - Symptoms
increased risk of developing emphysema, late onset, increased risk of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer worse in smokers

Tay-Sachs disease
lysosomal storage disorder, inability to degrade Gm2 ganglioside–> accumulation in neurons of CNS.
AR
lysosomal storage disorder, inability to degrade Gm2 ganglioside–> accumulation in neurons of CNS.
AR
Tay-Sachs disease
Tay-Sachs disease - Symptoms
infants appear normal until 3-6 months then get muscle weakness, decreased attentiveness, increase startle response. later get nurodegeneration–seizures, vison and hearing loss, diminished mental function, paralysis

Tay-Sachs disease - Symptoms
Sandhoff disease
Mutation: Mutation of HEXB (insertion)
Biological: Dysfunctional beta subunit –> build up of Gm2 ganglioside

Sandhoff disease
Sandhoff disease - Symptoms
Same syptoms as Tay-Sachs: muscle weakness, neurodegeneration (seizures, vision and hearing loss, diminishing mental function, “cherry-red spot” in the eyes.
