Portrait of a Chromosome

A chromosome consists primarily of DNA and protein

Chromosome differ in size, shape, banding pattern, and the genes they carry

Essential parts shared by all chromosomes are:- Telomeres- Origins of replication sites - Centromere

Portrait of a Chromosome

Heterochromatin is darkly staining- Consists mostly of repetitive DNA

Euchromatin is lighter-staining - Contains most protein-encoding genes

Telomeres are chromosome tips composed of many repeats of TTAGGG - Shorten with each cell division

Centromeres• The largest constriction of the chromosome-

attachment sites of spindle fibers• DNA present at the centromere are specific repeated

sequence

• The region of chromosomes near telomere • Made of repeats sequences similar to the telomere

sequence

Subtelomeres

CytogeneticsVariations in chromosomal structure occur as cells go

through the cell cycle from chromatin to condensed chromosomes

Cytogenetics is a technical field of genetics for visualization of chromosomal variations of metaphase chromosomes

Excess genetic material has milder effects on health than a deficit

Most large-scale chromosomal abnormalities disrupt or halt prenatal development

are autosome

Centromere PositionsPosition of centromeres varies between

chromosomes • At tip – Telocentric• Close to end – Acrocentric• Off-center – Submetacentric• At midpoint – Metacentric

Karyotype are used to ….

1) Confirm clinical diagnoses of medical geneticists

2) Reveal effects of some environmental toxins

3) Clarify evolutionary relationships between species

Current sources used for KaryotypingTissue is obtained from person

- Fetal tissue: AmniocentesisChorionic villi samplingFetal cell sorting Chromosome microarray analysis(~ 1.41 mins Comparative Genomic Hybridization)

- Adult tissue: White blood cellsSkin-like cells from cheek swab

Karyotypes and currently prepared using a combination of dyes and DNA probes to stain chromosomes

Prenatal Diagnosis: AmniocentesisDetects about 1,000 of the more than 5,000 known

chromosomal and biochemical problemsUltrasound is used to follow needle’s movementPerformed between 15-16 weeks ( the 2nd trimester) of

pregnancy)Figure 13.5a

Prenatal Diagnosis: Chorionic Villi Sampling

• Performed during 10-12th week ( 1st trimester) of pregnancy• Provides earlier results than amniocentesis• Limited detection of some metabolic problems• Has greater risk of spontaneous abortion

Prenatal Diagnosis: Fetal Cell SortingFetal cells are distinguished from maternal cells by a

fluorescence-activated cell sorter - Identifies cell-surface markers

FISHFluorescence in situ hybridization DNA probes labeled with fluorescing dye

Chromosome AbnormalitiesA karyotype may be abnormal in two ways:

1) In chromosome number2) In chromosome structure

Abnormal chromosomes account for at least 50% of spontaneous abortions

Due to improved technology, more people are being diagnosed with chromosomal abnormalities

Polyploidy• Cell with extra set of chromosomes is polyploid

• Triploid (3N) cells have three sets of chromosomes- Produced in one of two main ways:

o Fertilization of one egg by two spermo Fusion of haploid and diploid gametes

• Triploids account for 17% of all spontaneous abortions and 3% of stillbirths and newborn deaths

Aneuploidy• A normal chromosomal number is euploid

• Cells with extra or missing chromosomes areaneuploid, i.e. gain or loss of a single chromosome

• Most autosomal aneuploids are spontaneously aborted

• Those that are born are more likely to have an extra chromosome (trisomy) rather than a missing one (monosomy)

Chromosome Abnormalities involving chromosome numbers are caused by non-disjunction during anaphase- Homologous chromosomes during Meiosis I- Sister chromatids during Meiosis II

Nondisjunction

Aneuploidy

Aneuploidy can also arise during mitosis after the zygote formation, producing groups of somatic cells with the extra or missing chromosomes

• autosomal aneuploidy• sex chromosome aneuploidy

An individual with two chromosomally-distinct cell populations is called a mosaic

A mitotic non-disjunction event that occurs early in development can have serious effects on the health of the individual

AutosomalTrisomiesMost autosomal aneuploids cease developing as embryos or

fetusesMost frequently seen trisomies in newborns are those of

chromosomes 21, 18, and 13- Carry fewer genes than other autosomes

Chromosomal Structural Abnormalities• Deletions

o missing a segment from a chromosome

• Duplicationso Presence of an extra segment on a chromosome

(Deletions and duplications often not inherited, arise de novo)

• Translocationso two non-homologous chromosomes exchange segmentso Balanced and unbalanced translocations

• Inversionso A chromosomal segment is flipped in orientation
