Exam Block 2 Flashcards
Trisomy 21
Downs Syndrome
95% non disjunction 5% robertsonian translocation
Trisomy 18
Edward Syndrome
Prenatal growth deficit, prominent occiput, clindactyly, rocker bottom feet
50% survive a few weeks 5% survive to 1 year
Trisomy 13
Patau Syndrome
Oral facial cleft, postaxial polydactyly, malformations of CNS, cutaneous scalp lesions
5% survive 1 year
Monosomy X
Turners Syndrome
Mosaicism increase risk gonadoblastoma, short, webbed neck, heart defects, low estrogen leads to increased osteoporosis
47XXY
Klinefelter Syndrome
Tall, long limbs, low testosterone, mosaicism increases fertility
Trisomy X
Fairly benign, some infertility, more Xs seen more problems
90% maternal nondisunction
47 XYY
Tall, small IQ reduction, more in prison, increased behavior disorders
Cri du chat
Deletion 5p15.2
Cat like cry, growth delayed, microcephaly, very low IQ
Wolf Hirschhorn

Wilms tumor, aniridia, genitourinary abnormalities intellectual disability
Williams Syndrome
Microdeletion 7q11.23
Vascular problems, outgoing, periorbital fullness, short nose, large mouth, IQ 40-80
Smith Magenis
Microdeletion 17p11.2 or mutation of RAI1 gene in the same region
Prone to self injury, reverse circadian rhythm, self hugging
Philadelphia chromosome
9:22 translocation in cml
Alter abl protooncogene
Oncogene activation
Burkitt lymphoma
8:14 translocation
Myc protooncogene near Ig heavy chain, activates myc
Malignant transformation
Neurofibromatosis
Autosomal dominant
Variable expression, cafe au lait spots
Pleiotropy
Multiple effects from 1 mutation
Allelic heterogeneity
Multiple mutant forms have different effects on same gene
Locus heterogeneity
Multiple genes effect 1 pathway
Protein electrophoresis
Variation due to migration rate caused by differences in overall protein change
Restriction enzymes and southern blotting
Couple bacterial restriction enzymes with electrophoresis and probe that binds DNA fragments for visualizations of changes in DNA migration patterns
