What is Genetics?
Genetics is the study of heredity and its variation.
Human genetics: What's different? Nothing (in principle) Unmatched by other organisms for
phenotypic complexity
![Page 12: Human Genetics Introduction. Human genetics: Why? Determine genotypic basis of variant phenotypes to facilitate: Understanding biological basis of](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d2a5503460f949fe8ab/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Genes are DNA
• Genes are the basic unit of inheritance.
• Genes are composed of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
• Genes direct the formation of proteins.
Different versions of the same gene are called alleles.
Alleles result from the process called mutation.
All genes are nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) but not all nucleic acids are genes.
![Page 13: Human Genetics Introduction. Human genetics: Why? Determine genotypic basis of variant phenotypes to facilitate: Understanding biological basis of](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d2a5503460f949fe8ab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Somatic versus Germline Cells
Somatic cells comprise the majority of an individual’s body.
• During development distinct types of cells make proteins using different subsets of genes.
Germline cells within the testis or ovary produce gametes (sperm or ovum)
• Germline cells retain the ability to form all of the types of cells, both germline and somatic cells.
Together somatic cells and germline cells comprise the entire body of an individual.

The complete set of genetic information characteristic of the organism.
The genome includes:
• All of the genes present in an organism and
• Other DNA sequences that do not encode genes
Genome
![Page 15: Human Genetics Introduction. Human genetics: Why? Determine genotypic basis of variant phenotypes to facilitate: Understanding biological basis of](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d2a5503460f949fe8ab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Consists of 3 billion base pairs of DNA
• Includes 28,000 to 34,000 genes
• Is organized as 23 pairs of chromosomes
The Human Genome
![Page 16: Human Genetics Introduction. Human genetics: Why? Determine genotypic basis of variant phenotypes to facilitate: Understanding biological basis of](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d2a5503460f949fe8ab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Individuals
Individuals carry two alleles of each gene.
Genotype is the combination of alleles that an individual possesses.
Phenotype is the visible trait that results from a particular genotype.
![Page 17: Human Genetics Introduction. Human genetics: Why? Determine genotypic basis of variant phenotypes to facilitate: Understanding biological basis of](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d2a5503460f949fe8ab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Inheritance of traits can be observed in families.A pedigree indicates the structure of a family schematically.
Family
![Page 18: Human Genetics Introduction. Human genetics: Why? Determine genotypic basis of variant phenotypes to facilitate: Understanding biological basis of](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d2a5503460f949fe8ab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A population is a group of interbreeding individuals who possess a particular collection of alleles or “gene pool”.
Population
![Page 19: Human Genetics Introduction. Human genetics: Why? Determine genotypic basis of variant phenotypes to facilitate: Understanding biological basis of](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d2a5503460f949fe8ab/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Species Comparisons
Comparison of DNA sequences indicates the amount of similarity between two species.
98% of human DNA sequences are shared with chimpanzee.
Many genes present in humans are also present in mice, fish, fruit flies, yeast, and bacteria.
![Page 20: Human Genetics Introduction. Human genetics: Why? Determine genotypic basis of variant phenotypes to facilitate: Understanding biological basis of](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d2a5503460f949fe8ab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Humans are very similar
On average, two random people share the same DNA sequence in 99.9% of their genome.
Studies of variation indicate humans arose in Africa and migrated across the globe with relatively little change.
![Page 21: Human Genetics Introduction. Human genetics: Why? Determine genotypic basis of variant phenotypes to facilitate: Understanding biological basis of](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d2a5503460f949fe8ab/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Humans are also very different
On average two random people differ at 3 million base pairs (approximately one nucleotide of every thousand).
A few genes can have a big impact on appearance.

Understanding the relationship between genotype and phenotype
1) Experimental organisms: manipulate genotype, determine phenotype
QuickTime™ and a TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture.
2) Humans: assay phenotypes, determine genotype (statistics)

How are traits determined?
Traits can be determined predominantly by one gene.
Mendelian traits result from variation in allelesof one gene.
Traits can be determined by multiple genes.Polygenic traits result from variation in
several genes.
Traits can be determined by genes and environment.
Multifactorial traits result from effects of one or more genes and the environment.

Genetic Risk
Absolute risk the probability that an individual will develop a condition or trait
Relative risk the likelihood that an individual from one group will develop a condition in comparison to another group (usually the general population)
Empiric risk risk determined by observingincidence of a trait in the population
Risk factor a situation that alters incidence of a disease (or trait)

How Genetic Diseases Differ from Other Diseases
One can predict recurrence risk in other family members

characteristic frequenciesCorrection of the underlying genetic
defect may be possible

Our First Assignment
Developing a family history according to recommendations of the American Society of Human Genetics.
Building a pedigree of some trait using that pedigree to consider whether it could have a genetic component.

Disease
No disease
Assuming pedigrees like this are available (they never are), how do youfind linked molecular markers (and clone the gene)?
1) Obtain polymorphic markers for loci that "span the genome"
2) Identify closely linked flanking markers
3) Narrow non-recombinant interval and test candidates for causality
