T5M1,2 applied lecture Flashcards
define aneuploidy
abnormal number of certain chromosomes
- individuals have too many or too few of specific chromosomes
define karyotype
organized display of the homologous pairs of chromosomes and sex chromosomes
define amniocentesis
amniotic fluid withdrawn within 14-16 weeks of pregnancy and is tested for genetic disorders- fetal cells cultured for several weeks for sufficient numbers
define chorionic villus sampling (CVS)
sample of chorionic villus tissue taken as early as week 8-10 in pregnancy and immediate tests are performed
what phase is best to make karyotype
metaphase- want maximum contraction to view chromosomes
how many chromosmes present in klinefelter syndrome?
47

individuals have 3 copies of a certain chromosome
which chromosome is effected in down syndrome and how
trisomy in chromosome 21
which chromosome is effected in patau syndrome and how
trisomy of chromosome 13
symptoms of someone with patau syndrome

what is different about sex chromosome in females in turner syndrome
45 chromosomes, XO sex cells (only one x chromosome)

ghulam mufti’s research advantage
using genetic testing for finding optimal targeted treatments for cancer patients
what is mendel’s second law
two genes sort independently during gamete formation
what are linked genes
inherited together and dont segregate independently
what is GWAS
genome wide association studies
- looks across entire SNP linkage map for association between phenotype and mapped SNP
what is a blood type
classification of blood based on presence or absence of specific inherited cell service proteins or enzymes that catalyse synthesis of cell surface glycolipids
what do A and B alleles code for
glycosyltransferace enzyme
