Basic Concepts
• Gene – basic unit of genetic
information. Genes determine
the inherited characters.
• Genome – the collection of
genetic information.
• Chromosomes – storage
units of genes.
• DNA - is a nucleic acid that
contains the genetic
instructions specifying the
biological development of all
cellular forms of life
Chromosome Structure
• Locus – location of a gene on the
chromosome.
• Allele – one variant form of a gene
at a particular locus.
Locus1
Possible Alleles: AA,Aa, aa
Locus2
Possible Alleles: BB,Bb,bb
Human Genome
Most human cells
contain 46 chromosomes:
• 2 sex chromosomes (X,Y):
XY – in males.
XX – in females.
• 22 pairs of chromosomes
named autosomes.
KARIOTIPE
KARIOTIPE
• gambaran lengkap kromosom yang telah
disusun berdasarkan pasangan homolog
dan jenisnya
• Tujuan  mempermudah mempelajari
kromosom
• Sampel  limfosit, sumsum tulang, kulit,
cairan amnion atau vili korion.
TELOMER
• Telomer  ujung
kromosom sikuen tandem
repeat (pada manusia
adalah GGGTTA).
• Direplikasi oleh enzim
telomerase
• Proses penuaan
aktivitas telomerase akan
semakin menurun
panjang dari telomer
akan semakin berkurang.
TELOMER
BARR BODY
• Wanita salah satu kromatin X-nya
mengalami inaktivasi  kondensasi
kromatin di inti sel pada saat interfase 
barr body atau kromatin X.
• Apus mukosa pipi (buccal smear)
• Kromatin seks  1-10% sel neutrofil
wanita dalam bentuk drumstick.
MITOSIS DAN MEIOSIS
• Mitosis  seluruh sel tubuh dan berfungsi
membentuk sel dengan jumlah kromosom
yang sama
• Meiosis hanya terjadi pada organ kelamin
dan berfungsi mereduksi jumlah
kromosom menjadi separuhnya.
MEIOSIS
• Proses gametogenesis spermatogenesis
dan oogenesis sel gamet dengan jumlah
kromosom separuh dari jumlah kromosom sel
somatik.
• 2 tahap meiosis yaitu Meiosis I dan Meiosis
II.
• Meiosis I diploid menjadi haploid.
• Meiois II = mitosis.
• Antara meiosis I dan meiosis II tidak terjadi
sintesis DNA.
Genotypes↔Phenotypes
• At each locus (except for sex chromosomes)
there are 2 genes genotype at the locus.
• The expression of a genotype  phenotype.
E.g: hair color, weight, or the presence or
absence of a disease.

Dominant vs. Recessive
• A dominant allele is
expressed even if it is
paired with a recessive
allele.
•A recessive allele is
only visible when paired
with another recessive
allele.

Mendel’s 1st Law
The law of segregation: Allele pairs separate or
segregate during gamete formation, and
randomly unite at fertilization.

Mendel’s 2nd Law
The law of independent assortment: during gamete
formation the segregation of the alleles of one allelic pair is
independent of the segregation of the alleles of another
allelic pair

Genetic Disorders
6 general patterns of inheritance are observed:
•
•
•
•
•
Autosomal recessive
Autosomal dominant
X-linked recessive
X-linked dominant
Codominant
• Mitochondrial
Autosomal recessive
• Manifest only in
homozygous state
• Both males and females
affected equally
• Carriers (HTZ) unaffected
• Consanguinity increases
risk of recessive disorder
• e.g., cystic fibrosis: disease
affecting the mucus lining of
the lungs, leading to
breathing problems and
other difficulties
Autosomal dominant
• Both males and females have
equal chance to inherit gene
• Both can transmit disorder to both
sons and daughters
• HMZ often more severely
affected than HTZ
• Affected males and females
appear in each generation of the
pedigree.
• Affected mothers and fathers
transmit the phenotype to both
sons and daughters.
• e.g., Huntington disease.
Huntington disease
• Huntington's chorea is an inherited disorder
characterized by abnormal body movements called
chorea, and loss of memory.
• 5 to 8 per 100,000.
• the New York physician George Huntington who first
described it precisely in 1872.
X-linked recessive
• Expressed in males but
not usually in females
• Carrier female
– 50% risk of affected sons
– 50% risk of carrier
daughter
• Affected male
– all daughters carriers
– all sons unaffected
• e.g., hemophilia: impair
the body's ability to
control bleeding
X-linked dominant
• Males and females affected,
females usually less severely
affected than males
• 1 in 2 risk to children of affected
female
• All daughters of affected male
affected but no male to male
transmission
• e.g. fragile X syndrome: a
range of developmental
problems:learning disabilities
and mental retardation
X-linked dominant inheritance
Males and females
affected
• Vitamin D resistant
rickets
• Fragile X syndrome
Lethal in males
• Incontinentia pigmenti
• Rett syndrome
• XL chondrodysplasia
punctata
Codominant inheritance
•
Two different versions
(alleles) of a gene can be
expressed, and each version
makes a slightly different
protein
• Both alleles influence the
genetic trait or determine the
characteristics of the genetic
condition.
• E.g. ABO locus
Mitochondrial inheritance
• Mitochondria are
exclusively maternally
inherited
• Genes in mitochondrial
DNA
• Mitochondrial disorders
can appear in every
generation of a family
and can affect both males
and females E.g. Leber's
hereditary optic
neuropathy (LHON)
Question #1
• PKU is a human hereditary disease resulting from
inability of the body to process the chemical
phenylalanine (contained in protein that we eat).
• It is caused by a recessive allele with simple
Mendelian inheritance.
• Some couple wants to have children. The man has a
sister with PKU and the woman has a brother with
PKU. There are no other known cases in their
families.
• What is the probability that their first child will
have PKU ?

Question #3-Solution Highlights
a. Observations:
– After the disease is introduced into the family
in generation #2, it appears in every
generation  dominant!
– Fathers do not transmit the phenotype to their
sons  X-linked!

Chromosomal inheritance
• Pedigree doesn’t conform to mendelian
pattern
• May be history of miscarriages
• Affected children may have different
patterns of physical and developmental
abnormality
Genetic conselling
• Prenatal testing
• “An education process that seeks to assist
affected (and/or ‘at risk’) individuals to
understand the nature of the genetic disorder,
the nature of its transmission and the options
open to them in management and family
planning.”
• Tests in pregnancy– Villi chorialis
– Cairan amnion
