Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Angelman syndrome occurs as a result of inheritance of deletion in chromosome 15, which contains AS and PWS gene from the mother. If inherited from father, it will lead to Prader-Willi syndrome. This disease is characterized by developmental disabilities, seizures, and problem in speaking.

- Imagine a scenario in which prenatal testing of a human female fetus indicates that the baby will have a normal XX karyotype but is heterozygous for a mutation that inactivates the Xist promoter. Allele “Xr” represents the mutated version of the Xist promoter, and “XR” represents the normal version of the Xist promoter. How will this mutation affect the process of X inactivation?A. "X inactivation will still be random with both mutant and normal X chromosomes being randomly inactivated" B. "The chromosome with the mutant Xist promoter will always be active" C. "The chromosome with the mutant Xist promoter will always be inactivated" D. "The normal X chromosome (no mutation in Xist) will always be active" E.

- Mutations in the HPRT1 gene in humans result in atleast two clinical syndromes. Consult OMIM (www.omim.org) by querying HPRT1; you will only needto look briefly at the top three hits (files #300322,300323, and 308000).a. What is the full name of the HPRT1 enzyme?b. On which chromosome is the HPRT1 gene located?c. Mutations in HPRT1 are associated with two different syndromes. What are these syndromes? Foreach, answer the following questions: (i) What arethe symptoms associated with the syndrome? (ii) Isthe mutant allele that causes the syndrome dominant, recessive, codominant, or incompletely dominant with respect to the normal allele, or do specialconditions apply? (iii) Is the syndrome associatedwith a loss-of-function or a gain-of-function disease allele? (iv) Does the syndrome display allelicheterogeneity? (v) Does the syndrome display locus heterogeneity?

It is due to a sex-linked, recessive gene. A certain couple has five children – three boys (ages 1yr, 3yrs, and 10yrs old) and two girls (ages 5yrs and 7yrs old). The oldest boy shows the symptoms of this disease. You are their family physician and they come to you for advice.

How could this happen? a) Both parents carry the cystic fibrosis allele, and each passed that allele to their child. b) The child had a spontaneous mutation on both copies of their CFTR alleles, leading to cystic fibrosis. c) One parent gave the child two copies of the cystic fibrosis CFTR allele. c) One parent gave the child a wild type CFTR allele, and the other parent gave them a cystic fibrosis CFTR gene.arrow_forward
