Term
most common cause of Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (what does this protein do?)
Definition
B-Myosin heavy chain mutation (part of myosin motor unit)
Term
2nd, 3rd most common cause of FHCM?
Definition
2nd cardiac troponin (anchor troponin to tropomyosin)
3rd cardiac myosin-binding protein (anchor myosin to titin)
Term
mutated gene in achondroplasia? function of gene? mutated gene affect?
Definition
FGFR3 98% G to A (growth absent) - negatively regulates bone growth. Mutation constitutively activate it.
Term
inheritance of achondroplasia
new mutation %. when die inutero
Definition
auto dominant. 80%. homozygous
Term
Thanatophoric Dysplasia. Lethal? phenotype?
Definition
yes, lethal, born with extremely short limbs.
Term
Osteogenesis Imperfecta mode of inheritance?
Definition
Auto Dominant
Term
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type 1
Definition
blue sclera. mutations in aa's other than glycine. normal stature, lil deformity.
Term
Osteogenesis Imperfecta type 2. what substitution?
Definition
lethal, Type II OI - Gly substitution
Term
Osteogenesis Imperfecta - what part of gene mutation = most severe?
Definition
1. Glycine (allow collagen to pack close together)
2. C Terminus (start of collagen wrapping)
3. mutation in alpha1 gene (twice level of expression than beta)
Term
EDS (Ehlers Danlos), type 1 phenotype?
Definition
cigarette scars, large joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility.
Term
EDS (Ehlers Danlos) - most lethal? why? phenotype?
Definition
type IV - rupture of arteries, colon, gravid uterus.
no hyperflexiblity, translucent skin.
Term
EDS (Ehlers Danlos) type I & IV inheritance mode?
Definition
auto dominant
Term
EDS (Ehlers Danlos) type VI. inheritance. what gene? phenotype?
Definition
auto recessive. lysyl hydroxylase gene. hyperextensibile skin, joint hypermobile, blind, bleending in eye.
Term
EDS (Ehlers Danlos) type VII. inheritance? what gene? function of that gene?
Definition
auto recessive. cleavage site for N-protease mutated thus can't convert pro-collagen to collagen.
Term
Marfan Syndrome, 3 distinctions?
Definition
Arachnodactyle, ectopic lentis, aortic aneurysm.
Term
Marfan Syndrome inheritance? what 2 cardiovascular problems?
Definition
auto dominant. aortic aneurism & mitral prolapse.
Term
Marfan Syndrome, what mutation?
Definition
FBN1 gene. cystine substitution. Fibrillin also involved.
Term
Marfan Syndrome, phenotype
Definition
tall stature, long extremities, pectus excavatum.
Term
Hypophosphatemia - cause
Definition
abnormally low levels of phosphate in blood - get softening of bones
Term
Hypophosphatemia - cause
Definition
abnormally low levels of phosphate in blood - get softening of bones
Term
Hypophosphatemia, 3 proteins involved? interaction?
Definition
NPT2 - sodium-phosphorus cotransporter.
PHEX - protease that inactivates inhibitor of NPT2 synthesis.
FGF23 - inhibits synth of NPT2
Term
X-linked Hypophosphatemia
Definition
mutated PHEX - doesn't inactivate PTN thus NPT2 synth downregulated.
Term
Auto Dominant Hypophosphatemia
Definition
gain of function in FGF23 - inhibit synth of renal enzyme producing vitamin D & inhibit synth of NPT2.
Term
heridetary Hypophosphatemia rickets
Definition
loss of function of NPT2
Term
Hemochromatosis, inheritance?
Definition
auto recessive
Term
Hemochromatosis, lab result?
Definition
high transferrin saturation, high serum ferritin levels
Term
Hemochromatosis Rx
Definition
phlebotomy (drain blood)
Term
Hemochromatosis, what two proteins controlled by HFE. what does HFE do?
Definition
DMT 1 iron transporter & ferroportin (iron exporter). HFE senses how much iron is in blood.
Term
Hemochromatosis - what gene mostly mutated?
Definition
C282Y (cystine replaced w tyrosine) incorrect folding - protein degraded - no HFE.
Term
spherocytosis mutation? Rx? elliptocytosis mutation?
Definition
ankyrin, splenectomy, spectrin
Term
spherocytosis hereditary pattern, clinical symptoms, which cell type affected
Definition
auto dominant, anemia jaundice splenomegaly, RBC affected (shape)
Term
Elliptocytosis - which gene is defective? consequence?
Definition
Beta heterodimer (can't form tetramers)
Term
Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex. Which protein affected? hereditary pattern? prevelance? phenotype?
Definition
Keratin mutation, auto dominant, most common, mild blisters & weber-cockayne subtype & palmoplantar blistering
Term
Epidermolysis Bullosa Junctional: mutation? phenotype?
Definition
laminin-5 mutation, elbows & knees blister.
Term
Dominant Epidermolysis Bullosa: mutation? phenotype?
Definition
Type VII collagen mutated. arms & legs affected mostly.
Term
Recessive Epidermolysis Bullosa: mutation? phenotype?
Definition
Collagen type VII, repeated blistering & scarring of hands & feet, fingers & toes fuse, Squamous cell carcinomas, malignant melanoma, oral cavity blisters.
Term
Polycystic Kidney Disease, what genes mutated? which one more prevalent?
Definition
PKD1 & 2 encoding polycystin 1 & 2. Type 1 is more prevalent.
Term
Tuberous Sclerosis: what two genes/proteins prevent this disease? How? What oncogenic category are these genes in.
Definition
TSC1 & 2 - they activate Hamartin/Tuberin Complex which inhibit rapid cell growth. They are "Tumor Suppressor Genes"
