Sandhoff disease is due to a mutation in a gene that encodes a proteincalled hexosaminidase B. This disease has symptoms that aresimilar to those of Tay-Sachs disease. Weakness begins in the first 6 months of life. Individuals exhibit early blindness and progressive mental and motor deterioration. The family in the pedigree shown below has three members with Sandhoff disease, indicated with black symbols.
A human gene called the β-globin gene encodes a polypeptide that functions as a subunit of the protein known as hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen within red blood cells. In human populations, the β-globin gene can be found as the more common allele called the HbA allele, but it can also be found as theHbS allele. Individuals who have two copies of the HbS allele have the disease called sickle cell disease. Are the followingexamples a description of genetics at the molecular, cellular, organism, or population level?A. The HbS allele encodes a polypeptide that functions slightly differently from the polypeptide encoded by the HbA allele.B. If an individual has two copies of the HbS allele, that person’s red blood cells take on a sickle shape. C. Individuals who have two copies of the HbA allele do not have sickle cell disease, but they are not resistant to malaria. People who have one HbA allele and one HbS allele do not have sickle cell disease, and they are resistant to malaria.…
You learned in Problem 21 in Chapter 7 that theneurodegenerative disease ALS can be caused by expansion of a hexanucleotide repeat region (5′-GGGGCC-3′)outside of the open reading frame (but within the firstintron) of the gene called C9ORF72. While a normalC9ORF72 allele has 2–23 copies of the hexanucleotiderepeat unit, dominant disease-causing alleles have hundreds or even thousands of copies. Researchers observed that the first intron of theC9ORF72 disease allele is transcribed not only fromthe normal template strand of DNA, but also from thenontemplate strand. Even more unusual, both types ofrepeat-region transcripts are translated in all six readingframes in an AUG-independent manner—a processcalled repeat-associated non-ATG translation, or RANtranslation. These discoveries led to the hypothesisthat the proteins made from the repeats mightcontribute to ALS.a. What polypeptides are made from the repeat-regiontranscripts?b. According to the RAN translation hypothesis, whyare…
In a study of a muscle disorder, several affected families exhibited vision problems, muscle weakness, and deafness (M. Zeviani et al. 1990. American Journal of Human Genetics 47:904–914). Analysis of the mtDNA from affected members of these families revealed that large numbers of their mtDNA molecules possessed deletions of varying lengths. Different members of the same family and even different mitochondria from the same person possessed deletions of different sizes, so the underlying defect appeared to be a tendency for the mtDNA of affected persons to have deletions. A pedigree of one of the families studied is shown below. The researchers concluded that this disorder is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, and they mapped the diseasecausing gene to a position on chromosome 10 in the nucleus. Q. What characteristics of the pedigree rule out inheritance of a trait encoded by a gene in the mtDNA as the cause of this disorder?

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the gene that encodes dystrophin, a large protein that plays an important role in the development of normal muscle fibers. The Dystrophin gene is immense, spanning 2.5 million base pairs, and includes 79 exons and 78 introns. Many of the mutations that cause DMD produce premature stop codons, which bring protein synthesis to a halt, resulting in a greatly shortened and nonfunctional form of dystrophin. Some geneticists have proposed treating DMD patients by introducing small RNA molecules that cause the spliceosome to skip the exon containing the stop codon (A. Goyenvalle et al., 2004. Science 306:1796–1799). The introduction of the small RNAs will produce a protein that is somewhat shortened because an exon is skipped and some amino acids are missing, but it may still result in a protein that has some function. The small RNAs, antisense RNAs, used for exon skipping are complementary to…

Familial retinoblastoma, a rare autosomal dominant defect, arose in a large family that had no prior history of the disease.

Assuming that the mutant allele is fully penetrant, what is the chance that an affected individual will have an affected child?
