Carriers do not usually develop disease but can pass the mutated gene on to their children.Pleiotropy（多效性）（多效性）: one gene, more than one effect Genetic

23、ionAutosomal Dominant The trait appears in every generation Any child of an affected person has a 50 percent risk of inheriting the trait. Unaffected family members do not transmit the trait to their children The occurrence and transmission of the trait are not influenced by sex Autosomal RecessiveT

24、he trait characteristically appears only in sibs, not in their parents. Offspring or other relatives.On the average, one fourth of the sibs of the proband are affected; in other words. The recurrence risk is one in four for each birth.The parents of affected child may be consanguineous. Males and fe

25、males are equally likely to be affected.There are many small groups in which the frequency of certain rare recessive genes is quite different from that in the general population. X-linked Recessive- The trait is passed from an affected man through all his daughters to, on the average, half their son

26、s.The incidence of the trait is much higher in males than in females.The trait is never transmitted directly from father to son.The trait may be transmitted through a series of carrier females; if so, the affected males in a kindred are related to one another through females.Carriers show variable e

Affected heterozygous females transmit the condition to half their children of either sex. Affected females are more common than affected males, but as they are almost always heterozyg

30、ggregation, because relatives of an affected individual are not likely to have disease-predisposing alleles in common with the affected person than are unrelated individuals Pairs of relatives who share disease-predisposing（疾病倾向的）（疾病倾向的）genotypes at relevant（相关）（相关）loci may still be discordant（不一致）（

31、不一致）for phenotype (show lack of penetrance) because of the crucial(至关紧要的至关紧要的) role of nongenetic factors in disease causation(原因原因). The most extreme examples of lack of penetrance despite identical genotypes are discordant monozygotic twins (MZ) The disease is more common among the close relatives

If disequilibrium occurs, equilibrium will be reestablished after one generation of random mating. H-W law rests on several assumptions: 1.large popula

Hardy-Weinberg formula: p2 (AA) + 2pq (Aa) + q2 (aa) = 1 Changes in Allele Frequency Can be caused by: mutation (source of genetic variation) selection (phenotypes differ in biological fitness)(deleterious mutations may

Founder Effect if an original member of a sub-population has a rare allele, it may become common in the sub-population (high carrier freq

Consanguinity/Inbreeding when an individuals parents have one or more common ancestors, identifiable from a pedigree (or archival records)- because of genetic isolate, cultural practice, assortative mating-Increased likelihood of q 2Chapter 7 线粒体基
