General Genetics Terms
Genome
All the genes of a an organism.
Human Genome Project
1. Began in 1990
2. Funded by Nat;l Institute of Health
& US Dept. of Energy
3. Cost: $3 Billion
4. Why? Develop tests and treatment for
every genetic disease at the DNA level.
Not just treat the symptoms.
59
DNA
•Deoxyribonucleic Acid
•Large, genetic information-holding molecule
•Sections which code for a specific protein are genes
•Polymer (repeating unit molecule) which winds around
proteins to create chromosomes
60
Chromosome
•A unit of DNA wrapped around histone proteins
•46 found in humans
61
Homologous
•Contain DNA that codes for the same traits
•Both chromosomes with same genes at
the same location.
•However each location may have
different forms of the gene (alleles).
62
allele
B
•Definition: various forms of a trait
b
•Examples:
blue vs. brown eyes
normal vs. Tay-Sachs
A, B & O blood types
B
z
63
homozygous
T
T
Definition: having identical forms of
an allele for a trait
heterozygous
B
b
Definition: having different forms of
an allele for a trait
Gene 1 is homozygous for TT
Gene 2 is heterozygous for Bb
64
Genotype
Definition: the genetic make-up or alleles carried by a gene pair.
Phenotype
Definition: the expressed or visible trait due to a gene pair.
65
Maternal
Paternal
Pertaining to the mother
Pertaining to the father
66
Dominant
Recessive
In a heterozygous situation,
the gene that is seen.
In a heterozygous situation,
the gene that is hidden.
Condition that requires only one
Mutated allele for symptoms to
Show.
Condition that requires two
mutated alleles for symptoms to
Show.
67
Pedigree
A Family Tree
68
Polygenic
Traits to which more than one gene contribute
Most traits are polygenic, especially those that show a range of variation
(i.e.. Height, hair color, skin color, eye color, etc.)
VS.
Pleitropy:
1 gene causes many symptoms

70
Autosomal Recessive
A condition whose gene is located
on one of the first 22 pairs of chromosomes
And
Presents itself only when
both chromosomes carry
the abnormal allele (i.e. tt)
Tends to skip generations
Examples: Cystic Fibrosis, Tay-Sachs
Tends to affect ¼ of the population
Can be inherited from unaffected parents
Tt x Tt
tt
71
Autosomal Dominant
A condition whose gene is
located
on one of the first 22 pairs
of chromosomes
And
Presents itself when only
one of the mutated
alleles is present (i.e.. Tt or
TT)
Found in each generation
Examples: Marfan’s, Huntington’s
Tends to affect 3/4 of the population
Affected parents may have an unaffected child
Tt x Tt
tt
72
Sex-Linked
A condition whose gene is found on the 23rd pair of chromosomes
Tends to occur more in males
Examples: Muscular Dystrophy, Color blindness
73
Population Genetics
Gene Frequency
Carrier Frequency
In a population, the rate of
occurrence for a given allele
In a population, the rate of
occurrence for heterozygous
individuals

Recommendations
3
Consider stopping HRT, lose weight, regular mammograms
1
Current tumor high priority, BRCA testing for niece &
daughter
2
Continue mammograms, consider gene testing
4
Mammogram once a year; exercise & diet
