17
Q

intrinsic

A

with the body

18
Q

extrinsic

A

outside the body

19
Q

idiopathic

A

unknown cause

20
Q

iatrogenic

A

illness caused by medical treatment

21
Q

types of genetic disorders

A

mutation
single gene disorder
aneuploidy

22
Q

mutation

A

frame shift mutation

base pair substitution (frameshift are worst than base pair)

23
Q

frame shift mutation

A

addition or deletion of one base pair

24
Q

base pair substitution

A

one pair is substituted for another

25
aneuploidy
abnormal number of genes (normally 23 pairs of chromosomes)
26
Monosomy
turner syndrome
27
turner syndrome
single X chromosome | - 45 chromosomes
28
trisomy
klinefelter syndrome Down syndrome tripple X syndrome XYY syndrome
29
klinefelter syndrom
XXY: 47 chromosomes
30
single gene disorder
caused by a single gene that is defective or mutated
31
autosomal recessive
must have 2 recessive genes for the disease to occur - both parents - 25% have
32
autosomal dominant
only need one dominant gene for the disease to occur - one parent - 50% have
33
x-linked
males inherit these types of diseases from their mothers and | females become carriers
34
multifactorial disorders
diseases caused y a number of genes acting together and influenced by environmental factors ex.cancers
35
obstruction
anywhere there is a tube - mechanical - functional - degeneration - trauma
36
levels of prevention
primary secondary teritary
37
primary prevention
prevent disease from occurring | ex.sunscreen
38
secondary prevention
early detection | ex.screenings
39
tertiary prevention
prevent deterioration
40
mechanical obstruction
something physical that blocks
41
degeneration obstruction
wears down with time
