What Is Familiarization And Planning For Sanger Sequencing

Before it undergoes PCR the DNA extraction has a few steps to be done first, which is crucial to allow for amplification to begin, it needs to undergo cell lysis and denature the proteins, which then is purified (Tracey, 2017). The extracted DNA was then put into NaOH, a strong base and heated to 95 degrees Celsius, which leads to breaking down the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous (Tracey, 2017). Once all the previous steps have been completed, the PCR reaction can commence after mixing with primers, Taq DNA polymerase, reaction buffers and dNTPS. The Thermocycler was utilized to facilitate PCR making it faster, more reliable and cheaper (Tracey, 2017). The sample will undergo 35 amplification cycles, producing 3.44x1010 target sequences [ 235= 3.44x1010

Normally males have 46 chromosomes which include one X and one Y chromosomes, but males with XYY Syndrome have 47 chromosomes, two of which are Y chromosomes. Most cases of XYY Syndrome occur before conception due to a cell division error in the sperm. Rarely does the cell division error happen after conception.

Genetic disorder has many diagnostic and common names for example, DMD is also known as Duchenne muscular dystrophy or Becker and pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy. DMD is a genetic disease that occurs mostly in boys. According to the “Muscular Dystrophy Association DMD is inherited in an X-linked pattern, because the gene that can carry a DMD-causing mutation is on the X chromosome. The male host inherits an X chromosome from his mother and a Y chromosome from his father, which is what makes him male. The female host inherits two X chromosomes, one from each parent.” (MDM). “The human X chromosome carries regions prone to genomic instability: deletions in the Xp22.31 region, involving the steroid sulfatase gene cause X-linked ichthyosis; rearrangements in the Xp21.2 region are associated with Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD or BMD); and the Xq27.3 unstable region, containing the (CGG) in repeat expansion in the FMR1 gene is associated with fragile X syndrome stated in the article, “A Family with Fragile X Syndrome, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Ichthyosis Transmitted By An Asymptomatic Carrier”(Todorova, A)

Genetic disorders come in various forms. Some can be caused by mutations of the genes or chromosomes while others can be caused by a process called nondisjunction. Nondisjunction occurs when chromosomes during meiosis do not separate correctly and the daughter cells receive too much or too little genetic information. Klinefelter's is caused by nondisjunction which results in an extra X chromosome being present in a male.

Human genetics can play a major role in determining ones physical condition. One slight change in a genetic sequence can cause a disorder that can be life threating to the organism. Most of the genetic disorders are caused by recessive allele. In most cases this recessive allele is undetectable due to the disorder not being presented in the physical appearance. Hypercholesterolemia is an example of a human disorder controlled by a single gene. This human disorder causes high levels of cholesterol in an individual due to the absence of the low-density lipoproteins.

Moreover, common, known and synonymous variants were not included in their final analysis. In our study we will investigate all variant types because our aim is to determine what pathways variants occupy and their interactions with other variants. Eliminating variants may well result in lose of

Klinefelter syndrome (also called XXY syndrome), was found in 1942 by Dr. Harry Klinefelter and is one of the most common chromosomal disorders affecting males. An extra X chromosome is found in the cells of these affected males, meaning they have two X chromosomes instead of just one, the genotype for this disorder is XXY, a normal genotype for a male is just XY. Some affected boys will have more features of the disorder than others, some who have the syndrome could have more symptoms than others who have it. In some cases, Klinefelter syndrome is not found until a boy gets to puberty, and sometimes, men may never be diagnosed with the condition. The most common symptom of this genetic disorder is infertility. Infertility means that you are

Deletion of the pseudoautosomal region of one X chromosome. Address how this would affect males and females and

The XXY syndrome, most commonly known as Klinefelter syndrome (KS), only affects males of all ages. This syndrome occurs when there is a random genetic error after conception and is not curable, however treatment can help.All females have XX chromosome and all males have XY chromosomes. Unlike the normal XY type that all males have, males affected have an additional X chromosome which results into many symptoms such as impaired spermatogenesis, low testosterone, and male hypogonadism. Since Klinefelter syndrome is related to the sex chromosomes of males, it is a sex link trait.

What is an X-linked recessive trait? Well it means that the mutation on the gene is carried on the X chromosome, causing it to be expressed in males who are heterozygous for gene mutation, and females who are homozygous for gene mutation. It is explained that men are affected and women are would be carriers for X-linked recessive trait. But it is rare for women to be affected by this mutation.

Each embryo receives an X chromosome from the mother and either an X or a Y chromosome from the father, via the sperm. Some individuals are born with an abnormal number of chromosomes, a condition called "aneuploidy." The embryo can have a missing X chromosome or an extra X or extra Y chromosome. Different types of abnormalities in the offspring can occur, depending on the type of aneuploidy. There is a condition called Klinefelter's syndrome which a person has XXY chromosomes due to non-disjunction during Meiosis in the formation of the maternal gametes. This is how it might be possible for a normal male to have what appears to be two normal X chromosomes and 22 normal pairs of

These chromosomes are possessed by every human and determine their offspring’s gender and genetic material such as alleles for appearance. Males possess a ‘XY’ pair; ‘Y’ from the father and ‘X’ from the mother, whilst females possess ‘XX’ pair; one ‘X’ from each parent. Genes concerning blood clotting are contained in the X chromosome, thus making haemophilia an ‘X’-linked disorder. Due to this afflicted female can pass on the disorder to their offspring of both genders as they all receive an ‘X’ chromosome from the mother; however afflicted men can only pass on haemophilia to his daughters as the male gives off ‘X’ chromosomes to his daughters but ‘Y’, which can’t contain the genetic disorder, to his sons. However, the haemophilia disorder is recessive to that of the dominant normal blood clotting gene, thus meaning a female would need an afflicted ‘X’ chromosome from both parents, in which the female will have inherited the disease through a homozygous pairing of alleles. Homozygous is when an individual carries two of the same alleles3 on a certain gene. A recessive gene will only become apparent when this homozygous state is in occurrence. If a normal ‘X’ chromosome is present then it will dominate over the recessive disordered gene and provide enough clotting factor to make up for the other’s lack of. This dominance over another allele when both different alleles

High-throughput genome sequencing technologies are currently the important topic in the biology and medicine that allow us to look at thousands of sequence reads at a time. High-throughput and next generation sequencing technologies have largely been using for standard sequencing applications. Anyway these new technologies bring with many new challenges for biologist and bioinformatics people as how to process and interpret the massive amounts of biological data so as to achieve at biologically significant results. We presented a concise description of most commonly used sequencing technologies and the associated challenges below.

State the allelic variant listed in OMIM that corresponds with the mutation you have identified (5%). Does this variant result in a clinical phenotype or specific condition? If so, describe its characteristics and clinical presentation. (15% ) (Total Maximum 300 words)

This can lead to a prevalence of color deficiencies in females of about 0.64%. In the males (XY), the anomalous locus for color vision is also on the X chromosome, which has no counterpart on the Y chromosome. This leads to an increased number of color deficiencies in males, about 8% (Adams & Haegerstorm-Portnoy, 1987). Thus, females are less likely to be colorblind due to the fact that they have two X-chromosomes, if one chromosome is a carrier of color blindness then the other can compensate and not allow the recessive gene to surface.
