The document discusses pedigree charts, which are family tree diagrams used to trace genetic disorders and inheritance patterns across generations. It outlines various types of inheritance, including autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked, and Y-linked, along with examples of related disorders. Additionally, it highlights the importance of pedigree charts in determining inheritance patterns and genetic counseling.

Autosomal Inheritance

Autosomal Dominant
The gene responsible for this kind of
trade is present on auto and can
manifest the disorder, even if it is in
single dose
The muted gene is present on one
chromosome of the pair
Exceptions

ABO blood grouping

Sex Limited trades

Sex influence trades

Pelotropy
Some common autosomal dominant
disorders
Huntington Chorea
Myotonic dystrophy
Achondroplasia
Neurofibromatosis
Myotonic Dystrophy

Incidence one in 8000 people


Clinical features
Patient suffers from progressive weakness and myotonia
Disturb gastrointestinal peristalsis
Genetics
It is Autosomal Dominant Disorder with anticipation
This gene is located on the long arm of chromosome number 19

This gene is responsible for the Synthesis of Myotonic Dystrophy


Protein Kinase(MDPK)
Autosomal recessive inheritance

For expression of the straight, the gene should be in


homozygous state double Dose

Heterozygous individuals are normal.

This rate is seen insane generation among brothers


and sisters siblings

Males and females are equally affected


Autosomal recessive disorders

Albinism
Phenylketonuria
Alkaptonuria
Spinal muscular trophy
Sickle cell anaemia
Schizophrenia
Cystic fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis(Mucoviscidosis)

Incidence: 1 in 2500 people in population

It is the most common series disorder seen in the children of white


population of Europe

Genetics

Cystic fibrosis shows autosomal recessive inheritance

The gene of CF is present on the long arm of chromosome number


7
X linked inheritance

X-Linked Recessive
Some of the genes on X chromosomes are functionally similar to the
genes present on the autosomes.

Females have 2X chromosomes while male have only one.

Predominantly males are affected This disorder is transmitted through


unaffected carrier females to their sons.

Defective males cannot transmit the disorder to their sons as the gene
is not present in white chromosome
Some common X linked recessive disorders

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Haemophilia
Haemophilia

Haemophilia is an inherited coagulation disorder

Incidence:

Haemophilia A : 1 in 5000 males. Haemophilia B: 1 in 40,000


males.

Haemophilia shows an X linked recessive inheritance

Genes for Haemophilia A and B are located on the long arm of X


chromosome near its distant
X-Linked Dominant Inheritance.

It expresses in Heterozygous females as well as in


males.

The X linked dominant inheritance resembles that


of an autosomal dominant inheritance, but can be
differentiated because of the fact that an affected
male transmit this straight to all his daughters but
to none of his sons.
X-Linked Dominant Disorders

Vitamin D resistant rickets

XG blood groups

Hypophosphatemia
Y-Linked Inheritance

Males of all generations are affected


revealing that the gene is transferred by
males to males.

Males transmit SRY/TDF (and their Y chromo-

some) to all of their sons, but not to their

daughters.
