-Inherited disease that affects the lungs and digestive system-Affects ~30,000 children and adults in the United States (~70,000 worldwide).-A defective gene and its corresponding protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that:
* clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and * obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.
Cystic fibrosis
![Page 11: Welcome to Genome 351! Human Genetics April 1, 2013 There is still space available in this course; if you are not registered and wish to take this course,](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dea5503460f94ae5abe/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Two unaffected individuals have three children, the youngest of whom has cystic fibrosis (CF)
A simple pedigree
= Normal
= cystic fibrosis
How can you tell if CF is a genetic disorder?
![Page 12: Welcome to Genome 351! Human Genetics April 1, 2013 There is still space available in this course; if you are not registered and wish to take this course,](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dea5503460f94ae5abe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A larger family
Two unaffected individuals have eight children, two of whom have cystic fibrosis
Does this tell you that CF is a genetic disorder?
What else might you want to know?

Proband: affected individual who first brings attention to the trait

• Blending of traits
• Vital spark (paternal or maternal)
• Sperm carries preformed individual
(homunculus)
Some early theories on heredity
Gregor Mendel (1822–1884) introduces a more systematic approach
![Page 18: Welcome to Genome 351! Human Genetics April 1, 2013 There is still space available in this course; if you are not registered and wish to take this course,](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dea5503460f94ae5abe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Choice of a good model organism—garden pea- relatively short generation time—one per year- lots of progeny per cross- self-pollination and out-crossing possible- true-breeding strains readily available from
local merchant
• Choice of clear character differences to track- Yellow vs. green seed pods, round vs. wrinkled
seeds, purple vs. white flowers, etc.
• Careful mathematical analysis of the results- allowed him to develop and test specific models
Reasons why Mendel was successful:
![Page 19: Welcome to Genome 351! Human Genetics April 1, 2013 There is still space available in this course; if you are not registered and wish to take this course,](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dea5503460f94ae5abe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Establish true-breeding strains, each of which exhibit clear character differences
Make crosses between different true-breeding strains
Identify and count the progeny traits (phenotypes)
…are the progeny traits (phenotypes) like one parent or the other? How many of each class are there?
??Make crosses between the progeny…
Mendel’s experimentscrosses within the true-breeding population yield progeny that show the same trait as the parent

How did Mendel interpret these findings?
![Page 23: Welcome to Genome 351! Human Genetics April 1, 2013 There is still space available in this course; if you are not registered and wish to take this course,](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dea5503460f94ae5abe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Mendel’s interpretations
Both parents contribute a “determinant” (gene) that influences the seed pod color trait
x
True-breeding green pea pod strain
True-breeding yellow pea pod strain
The “G” or “g” gene
Each parent randomly donates only one of their two genes for any given trait to their offspring
![Page 24: Welcome to Genome 351! Human Genetics April 1, 2013 There is still space available in this course; if you are not registered and wish to take this course,](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dea5503460f94ae5abe/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mendel’s interpretations
x
True-breeding green pea pod strain
True-breeding yellow pea pod strain
The g allele (which confers yellow seed pods) is recessive to the dominant G allele (which confers green seed pods).
There are two forms of a gene (alleles) for the seed pod color trait; the trait conferred by one allele (recessive) can be masked by the trait conferred by the other allele (dominant)
alleles: variants of a gene
recessive
dominant

Cross hybrid plants to one another (or self-cross)
Mendel’s interpretationsGenes are particulate (i.e., do not mix); recessive traits that are not evident in heterozygotes can be unmasked in progeny

General conclusions of Mendel’s work1. Many traits (phenotypes) are determined by
genes
2. Gene variants (alleles) can confer dominant or recessive traits (phenotypes)
3. There are two copies of each gene
4. Each parent randomly transmits only one of their two alleles of a given gene to their offspring
![Page 28: Welcome to Genome 351! Human Genetics April 1, 2013 There is still space available in this course; if you are not registered and wish to take this course,](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dea5503460f94ae5abe/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell
• Many sizes and shapes– Rod-like, globular– Single subunit, multimeric
• Many distinct properties– Water soluble, lipid loving
• Many functions– Structure, catalysts, motors, signals, pumps
• Mutations often alter proteins
Including cystic fibrosis
![Page 35: Welcome to Genome 351! Human Genetics April 1, 2013 There is still space available in this course; if you are not registered and wish to take this course,](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110401/56649dea5503460f94ae5abe/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

But what are proteins (chemically)?
Polymers of 20 different amino acids(only 11 can be made by humans, others must be obtained from the diet)
Have a repeating backbone structure
Distinguished by their side chains (R groups)

•Average protein = 300 to 400 aa’s
•Variety of linear amino acid sequences is almost infinite...
e.g., a protein of 100 amino acids made with the 20 different known amino acids can have 20100 different linear sequences
•Frequently have globular (spherical) 3-D shapes & are negatively charged
•E. coli (human intestinal bacteria) makes about 3,000 proteins
•humans make about 100,000 different proteins with 25,000 genes (WOW!)
Proteins adopt a variety of structures

Cells -- the basic unit of life
The Basic Unit of Life
• Organisms can be single cells (e.g., bacteria, yeast) or collections of many cells
• Prokaryotes (bacteria) lack a nucleus
• Eukaryotes have a nucleus and other
compartments

• Surrounded by the plasma membrane
• Contains a nucleus (where >99% of the genes are located) and cytoplasm with specialized organelles
•Come in many different shapes

Mitochondria
• Site of ATP (energy) production
• Has its own circular DNA (<1% of the cellular genes located here)
• Mitochondrial genes are inherited from the mother

Human Cells
• Hundreds of cell types• Several categories– Epithelial (skin, intestinal, lung, but also pancreas, liver, kidney)
– Muscle– Nerve– Connective– Blood

Cystic Fibrosis
Affected persons can have unaffected parents
Disease can skip generations
Both sexes equally affected

Genetics of Cystic Fibrosis (CF)
* Autosomal recessive trait * ~1/25 Caucasians is a carrier* ~1/65 Africans is a carrier* ~1/90 Asians is a carrier
* Gene lies chromosome 7q31.2* Gene encodes a chloride channel expressed
in lung, skin and pancreas* DNA diagnosis in utero
