X- linked , dominant or recessive

Autosomal Inheritance
Autosomal Inheritance
- This is the inheritance of the gene present on the Autosomes.
Both sexes have equal chance of inheriting the disorder (The
occurrence and transmission of the trait is not affected by sex)
Two types:
Autosomal dominant inheritance, if the gene is dominant.
Autosomal recessive inheritance, if the gene is recessive.
Normal
homozygous
Heterozygous
Abnormal
homozygous
Autosomal Dominant Inheritance
- Autosomal dominant inheritance, if the gene is dominant.
- The trait (character, disease) appears in every generation.
- The trait is transmitted by an affected (heterozygous) person to half the
children.
- Unaffected persons do not transmit the trait to their children.

Disease male

Examples of Autosomal dominant disorders
•Familial hypercholesterolemia (LDLR deficiency)
•Von Willebrand disease
•Adult polycystic kidney disease
•Huntington disease
•Myotonic dystrophy
•Acute intermittent porphyria
•Huntington disease
•Neurofibromatosis type 1
•Marfan syndrome

Autosomal Recessive Inheritance
- The trait (character, disease) is recessive.
- The trait expresses itself only in homozygous state.
- Unaffected persons (heterozygotes) may have affected
childrens (if the other parent is heterozygote) .
- The parents of the affected child maybe related
(consanguineous).
- Males and female are equally affected.

Sex-Linked Inheritance
Sex – Linked Inheritance
- This is the inheritance of a gene present on the sex
chromosomes.
- The Inheritance Pattern is different from the autosomal
inheritance.
- Inheritance is different in the males and females.
X-Linked
Sex – linked
inheritance
Y- Linked
Recessive
Dominant
Y – Linked Inheritance
- The gene is on the Y chromosomes.
- Shows Holandric inheritance. i.e.
The gene is passed
from fathers to sons only.
- Daughters are not affected.
e.g. Hairy ears in India.
- Male are Hemizygous, the condition
exhibits itself whether
dominant or recessive.

X – Linked Inheritance
• >1400 genes are located on X
chromosome (~40% of them are thought
to be associated with disease phenotypes)

XH is the normal allele, Xh is the mutant allele
- The gene is present on the X
- chromosome.
- The inheritance follows specific pattern.
- Males have one X chromosome, and are hemizygous.
-
Females have 2 X
chromosomes, they may be
homozygous or heterozygous.
- These disorders may be : recessive
or dominant.
X – Linked Recessive Inheritance
-
The incidence of the X-linked disease is higher in male than in female.
- The trait is passed from an affected man through all his daughters to
half their sons.
- The trait is never transmitted directly from father to sons.
- An affected women has affected sons and carrier daughters.

- Chronic granulomutous disease.
- Ectodermal dysphasia (anhidrotic).
- Fragile X syndrome.
- Hemophilia A and B.
- Ichthyosis (steroid sulphatase deficiency).
- Lesch–Nyhan syndrome.
- Menkes’s syndrome.
- Mucopoly Sacchuridosis 11 (Hunter’s
syndrome)
- Muscular dystrophy (Duchenne and Beeker’s).
- G-6-PD
- Retinitis pigmentosa.
G6PD Deficiency
Prevalence & Heterozygote advantage:
•Prevalence:
• 5-25% in areas endemic to malaria.
• <0.5% in areas nonendemic to malaria.
•Heterozygotes for G6PD deficiency have some
resistance to malaria → survival advantage.
G6PD Deficiency
Inheritance Risk:
•Each son of a mother carrying a G6PD
mutation has a 50% chance of being affected.
•Each daughter of a mother carrying a G6PD
mutation has a 50% chance of being a carrier
•Each daughter of an affected father will be a
carrier
•Each son of an affected father will be
unaffected.
X-Linked Dominant Disorders
-
The gene is on X Chromosome and is dominant.
-
The trait occurs at the same frequency in both males
and females.
-
Hemizygous male and heterozygous females express
the disease.

Mitochondrial Inheritance
http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/chromosome=MT
Mitochondrial Disorders
* The defective gene is present on the
mitochondrial chromosomes.
•Effect generally energy metabolism.
* Effect more those tissues which require
constant supply of energy e.g muscles.
* Shows maternal inheritance:
-affected mothers transmit the disorder
equally to all their children.
-affected fathers do not transmit the
disease to their children.
Example of Mitochondrial Disorders
Lebers hereditary optic neuropathy
(LHON)
Rapid Optic nerve death  blindness in young adult life
http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition=leberhereditaryopticneuropathy
Mitochondrial Inheritance
- Affected females transmit the disease to all their children.
- Affected males have normal children.
- Males cannot transmit the disease as the cytoplasm is inherited
only from the mother, and mitochondria are present in the
cytoplasm.
