Achondroplasia is the most common form of dwarfism in miniature horses. Achondroplasia dwarf horses have normal sized bodies and heads, but noticeably smaller upper legs and ears. This form of dwarfism is an autosomal dominant trait. The pedigree shows the offspring of one horse without dwarfism, Individual 1, and one with dwarfism, Individual 2. The horses with achondroplasia are shorter.

- A man with thalassemia minor marries a normal woman. What phenotypic ratios of thalassemia-affected children might these parents expect?Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by disproportionate short stature: the legs and arms of people with achondroplasia are short compared with the head and trunk. The disorder is due to a base substitution in the gene, located on the short arm of chromosome 4, that encodes fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). Although achondroplasia is clearly inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, more than 80% of the people who have achondroplasia are born to parents with normal stature. This high percentage indicates that most cases are caused by newly arising mutations; these cases (not inherited from an affected parent) are referred to as sporadic. Studies have demonstrated that sporadic cases of achondroplasia are almost always caused by mutations inherited from the father (paternal mutations). In addition, the occurrence of achondroplasia is higher among the children of older fathers; approximately 50% of children with achondroplasia are born to fathers…All the non-shaded individuals are wild type apart from III.1. III.1 has been proven to have the causative mutation for this Autosomal Dominant condition, but they exhibit no symptoms.What is the percentage level of penetrance for the condition in the diagram?

It also exhibits incomplete dominance in that the heterozygous genotype displays a mild form of the disease known as sickle cell trait while individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype have a severe form of SCA.

- PART 3– Sex Linkage Hemophilia is a recessive sex-linked disorder in which an important clotting factor protein (Factor VIII) is not produced in a functional form. Queen Victoria was a carrier of the recessive Factor VIII allele, meaning she carried the allele but was asymptomatic. Recently, historians have discovered that she secretly had an affair with the Austrian Count Chocula, who, unbeknownst to her, was a hemophiliac. Naturally, the Royal Family fought to have this information suppressed, but it was revealed that they had many children together. 1. Using the correct allele notation, write the genotypes for Queen Victoria and Count Chocula. 2. In the Punnett Square below, show the cross between the Queen and the Count. P> PĮmy widows peak phenotype is aa. what is my widows peak genotype.Achondroplasia is a rare dominant autosomal defect resulting in dwarfism. The unaffected brother of an individual with achondroplasia is seeking counsel on the likelihood of his being a carrier of the mutant allele. What is the probability that the unaffected client is carrying the achondroplasia allele?
- A couple was referred for genetic counseling because they wanted to know the chances of having a child with dwarfism. Both the man and the woman had achondroplasia (MIM 100800), the most common form of short-limbed dwarfism. The couple knew that this condition is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, but they were unsure what kind of physical manifestations a child would have if it inherited both mutant alleles. They were each heterozygous for the FGFR3 (MIM 134934) allele that causes achondroplasia. Normally, the protein encoded by this gene interacts with growth factors outside the cell and receives signals that control growth and development. In achrodroplasia, a mutation alters the activity of the receptor, resulting in a characteristic form of dwarfism. Because both the normal and mutant forms of the FGFR3 protein act before birth, no treatment for achrondroplasia is available. The parents each carry one normal allele and one mutant allele of FGRF3, and they wanted information on their chances of having a homozygous child. The counsellor briefly reviewed the phenotypic features of individuals with achondroplasia. These include facial features (large head with prominent forehead; small, flat nasal bridge; and prominent jaw), very short stature, and shortening of the arms and legs. Physical examination and skeletal X-ray films are used to diagnose this condition. Final adult height is approximately 4 feet. Because achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant condition, a heterozygote has a 1-in-2, or 50%, chance of passing this trait to his or her offspring. However, about 75% of those with achondroplasia have parents of average size who do not carry the mutant allele. In these cases, achondroplasia is due to a new mutation. In the couple being counseled, each individual is heterozygous, and they are at risk for having a homozygous child with two copies of the mutated gene. Infants with homozygous achondroplasia are either stillborn or die shortly after birth. The counselor recommended prenatal diagnosis via ultrasounds at various stages of development. In addition, a DNA test is available to detect the homozygous condition prenatally.
