- A couple was referred for genetic counseling because they wanted to know the chances of having a child with dwarfism. Both the man and the woman had achondroplasia (MIM 100800), the most common form of short-limbed dwarfism. The couple knew that this condition is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, but they were unsure what kind of physical manifestations a child would have if it inherited both mutant alleles. They were each heterozygous for the FGFR3 (MIM 134934) allele that causes achondroplasia. Normally, the protein encoded by this gene interacts with growth factors outside the cell and receives signals that control growth and development. In achrodroplasia, a mutation alters the activity of the receptor, resulting in a characteristic form of dwarfism. Because both the normal and mutant forms of the FGFR3 protein act before birth, no treatment for achrondroplasia is available. The parents each carry one normal allele and one mutant allele of FGRF3, and they wanted information on their chances of having a homozygous child. The counsellor briefly reviewed the phenotypic features of individuals with achondroplasia. These include facial features (large head with prominent forehead; small, flat nasal bridge; and prominent jaw), very short stature, and shortening of the arms and legs. Physical examination and skeletal X-ray films are used to diagnose this condition. Final adult height is approximately 4 feet. Because achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant condition, a heterozygote has a 1-in-2, or 50%, chance of passing this trait to his or her offspring. However, about 75% of those with achondroplasia have parents of average size who do not carry the mutant allele. In these cases, achondroplasia is due to a new mutation. In the couple being counseled, each individual is heterozygous, and they are at risk for having a homozygous child with two copies of the mutated gene. Infants with homozygous achondroplasia are either stillborn or die shortly after birth. The counselor recommended prenatal diagnosis via ultrasounds at various stages of development. In addition, a DNA test is available to detect the homozygous condition prenatally. What is the chance that this couple will have a child with two copies of the dominant mutant gene? What is the chance that the child will have normal height?A couple was referred for genetic counseling because they wanted to know the chances of having a child with dwarfism.

- Please consider the following pedigree. Assume that people who marry in to the family do not carry the allele unless otherwise indicated. Assume complete penetrance. I II 5 6 III 6 IV 1 2 a. Is it possible for the inheritance pattern for the trait illustrated in this pedigree to be as a result of each of the following? Answer yes or no. (i) an autosomal recessive allele (AR) (ii) an autosomal dominant allele (AD) (iii) a X-linked recessive allele (XR) (iv) a X-linked dominant allele (XD) b. Provide a genotype for individual III-6 for the most likely mode of inheritance as determined in (a).Please consider the following pedigree.

(i) an autosomal recessive allele (AR) (ii) an autosomal dominant allele (AD) (iii) a X-linked recessive allele (XR) (iv) a X-linked dominant allele (XD) b. Based strictly on the characteristic patterns of inheritance that define the four different options in (a), give a definitive motivation for the most likely mode of inhertance.The following pedigree shows the inheritance of a rare genetic disorder. Determine the most likely mode of inheritance, and for exam practice (unmarked on the assignment) write a clear justification for your conclusion. Remember that some pedigrees don't provide sufficient data/information to discriminate between possibilities. If that is the case, select all the possible answers.

- Examine the pedigree and answer the following questions; shaded individuals show the trait; genotypes are all unknown. The individual marked with the question mark is of an unknown genotype but does have the trait. A. What mode of inheritance is the most likely for this trait, autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant? State your rationale for full credit. B. What is the genotype of the individual marked with the question mark? (Heterozygous, homozygous, or unknown)Refer to the pedigree below which shows inheritance for achondroplasia (dwarfism), a dominantly inherited trait (denoted as D), which are the darkened circles and squares. Dwarfism (darkened shapes) are dominantly inherited, while normal height is recessively inherited (hh). Based on the pedigree, what is the correct genotype for individual #II-6?

- Pedigree attached shows an autosomal recessive genetic disease. G is the normal allele and g is the disease-causing allele. Individual 1’s father is heterozygous (*) and his mother is homozygous dominant. Other individuals in the pedigree may be carriers, but are not marked. The question mark (?) indicates that you do not yet know anything about this individual’s phenotype with regard to the disease. part a) What is the probability that individuals 1 and 2 will have a child (5) who is a boy with the disease (the child is unborn and the sex is not yet known)? a)1/8 b)1/4 c)0 d)1/16 part b) What is the probability that the daughter (6) that individual 3 and 4 just had will have the disease? a)1/8 b)1/6 c)1/4 d)1/12Using the pedigree chart attached: Above is a pedigree for colorblindness. Based on the pedigree, is the disease dominant or recessive and is it sex-linked or autosomal? Why? Furthermore, what is the probability that 18 on this chart is affected but the condition, and what is the probability that 18 is a carrier? Why? Are the probability of being a carrier and an affected individual different? Why?a. The pedigree follows the inheritance of a relatively common trait. Is the trait most likely autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, or X-linked recessive? Explain your reasoning. b. If the couple marked with a “*” had another child, what is the probability that it would be an affected daughter? (Note: this is a compound outcome.)
