TOPIC: Sex-linked inheritance
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency/G6PDD (g) is an X-linked recessive condition wherein the red blood cells of affected individuals undergo premature hemolysis. Fragile X syndrome (F), on the other hand, is an X-linked dominant mutation characterized by a mild to moderate intellectual disability. Amelogenesis imperfecta (AMELY) (A) is a sex-linked congenital disorder affecting the formation of the teeth enamel making affected individuals at higher risk for dental cavities and related problems. Only male offspring inherit this condition.
Jane is heterozygous for both X-linked traits like her mother. Her father is normal for both X-linked traits. James has a mother who suffers from G6PDD but not from fragile X-syndrome. His father does not exhibit any X-linked disorder but has amelogenesis imperfecta.
What are the genotypes of the following:
Jane: ________ James: _________
Jane’s mother: __________ James’ mother: ________
Jane’s father: ________ James’ father: ___________
Should Jane and James marry and have children, what is the probability of having:
a. a child with no X-linked disorder? _______
b. a daughter with Fragile X-syndrome? _______
c. a son with G6PDD? __________

- Faulty Tooth Enamel Formation Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a disorder of faulty tooth enamel formation. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant and X-linked dominant pattern. The expression of AI disorder is determined by mutations in the autosomal alleles. One copy of the mutated allele (A) will cause the disorder. The severity of the disorder is determined by mutations in a gene carried on the X chromosome. Normal (or non-severe) abnormality (XN) is dominant over the abnormality (or severe) (Xn) allele. In the absence of the autosomal dominant allele, the abnormality gene on the X chromosome is notexpressed. Question:A woman with normal teeth had four children with a man with non-severe form of AI: A boy was born without amelogenesis imperfecta A girl was born without amelogenesis imperfecta A boy was born with severe amelogenesis imperfecta A boy was born with non severe amelogenesis imperfecta Identify the parental genotypes.

Apparently the dominant forms are often less severe. Eric's form of RP is Usher's Syndrome, which is an autosomal recessive inheritance (i.e., you must get a copy of the defective gene from your Mom and one from your Dad). Autosomal means it is not carried on one of the chromosomes that determines sex. Usher's Type II is recessive, so for Eric this means that both his Mom and Dad are carriers of this condition. His brother, Dirk, does not have any symptoms of RP. Question below - short answer approach Imagine you are a genetics counselor, and Dirk, Erik's brother, comes in to see you. Based on his parents, what are Dirk's possible genotypes for RP? What advice would you give Dirk about the chances of Dirk's children having retinitis pigmentosa if his wife is not a carrier? How would your advice change if his wife fully has the disease? Describe all the possibilities,…

- PART 3– Sex Linkage Hemophilia is a recessive sex-linked disorder in which an important clotting factor protein (Factor VIII) is not produced in a functional form. Queen Victoria was a carrier of the recessive Factor VIII allele, meaning she carried the allele but was asymptomatic. Recently, historians have discovered that she secretly had an affair with the Austrian Count Chocula, who, unbeknownst to her, was a hemophiliac. Naturally, the Royal Family fought to have this information suppressed, but it was revealed that they had many children together. 1. Using the correct allele notation, write the genotypes for Queen Victoria and Count Chocula. 2. In the Punnett Square below, show the cross between the Queen and the Count. P> PĮAchondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by disproportionate short stature: the legs and arms of people with achondroplasia are short compared with the head and trunk. The disorder is due to a base substitution in the gene, located on the short arm of chromosome 4, that encodes fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). Although achondroplasia is clearly inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, more than 80% of the people who have achondroplasia are born to parents with normal stature. This high percentage indicates that most cases are caused by newly arising mutations; these cases (not inherited from an affected parent) are referred to as sporadic. Studies have demonstrated that sporadic cases of achondroplasia are almost always caused by mutations inherited from the father (paternal mutations). In addition, the occurrence of achondroplasia is higher among the children of older fathers; approximately 50% of children with achondroplasia are born to fathers…Alberta is phenotypically normal, but her brother (Rodrigo) has albinism, which is caused by an autosomal recessive mutation. The probability that Alberta is a carrier (i.e., heterozygous for albinism) is [express your answer as a fraction]

D.Focus (United States) a S W 37 F 八 口Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) are one of the most severe congenital malformations. A study was conducted to determine whether supplementation with folic acid or a mixture of seven other vitamins (A, D, B1, B2, B6, C, and nicotinamide) around the time of conception could prevent neural tube defects. A total of 1817 women at high risk of having a pregnancy with a neural tube defect (because of a previous affected pregnancy) were allocated at random to one of four groups: 1) folic acid; 2) other vitamins; 3) both; 4) neither. 1195 had a completed pregnancy; 27 of these had a known neural tube defect, 6 in the folic acid groups and 21 in the two other groups. This resulted in a risk ratio= 0.28. Based on the results of the study, which of the following is an appropriate conclusion? a)There is no difference in the effect of folic acid on NTDs b) None of these c) Folic acid increases risk of NTDs d) Folic acid is protective against NTDsNeural Tube Defects (NTDs) are one of the most severe congenital malformations.
