Extractions: What is an Albino? Q: What can cause the albino phenotype? A: Mutations - mutations in an individual occur in either the somatic tissue (tissue not associated with the gonads and germ cell production) or the germinal tissue (tissue associated with the gonads and germ cell production) (From Griffiths, A.J., Miller, J.H., Suzuki, D.T., Lewontin, R.C., and Gelbart, W.M. 1996.

Extractions: Basically, the study of genetics is the fascinating study of the evolution of life itself , on a much smaller scale. The method of passing the genetic code of the parents to the next generation through the "germ" cells (ova in females and sperm in males), is one of the most awesome and incredibly beautiful processes in nature. Long, irregular threads of genetic material called chromosomes are found within the nucleus of a cell, and they are arranged in pairs. Cats have 19 pairs of chromosomes; people have 23 pairs of chromosomes. For cats, it is these 38 chromosomes which make up the unique, individual "blueprint" for that animal. The chromosomes are covered with hundreds of thousands to millions of light and dark colored bands which are the actual genetic codes, called genes. Each gene controls a single feature or a group of features in the makeup of an individual. Even this concept becomes more complicated as many of the genes interact with other genes! A single feature of an individual may be controlled by many different genes, which makes "mapping" of the genes very difficult, and for cats, only a few major genes have been mapped out to date.

http://www.netpets.com/cats/reference/genetics/catgenetics4.html

Extractions: Nancy J Creek Continued from page 3 The Color-Density Gene The third and last of the genes controlling the coat color is the color-density gene. This gene controls the uniformity of distribution of pigment throughout the hair and comes in two alleles: dense, "D", and dilute, "d". The dense allele, "D", is wild, is dominant, and causes pigment to be distributed evenly throughout each hair, making the color deep and pure. A dense coat will be black, dark brown, medium brown, or orange. The dilute allele, "d", is mutant, is recessive, and causes pigment to be agglutinated into microscopic clumps surrounded by translucent unpigmented areas, allowing white light to shine through and diluting the color. A dilute coat will be blue (gray), tan, beige, or cream. The Eight Cat Colors All possible expressions of the color, orange-making, and color- density genes produce the eight basic coat colors: black, blue (gray), chestnut or chocolate (dark-brown), lavender or lilac (tan), cinnamon (medium brown), fawn (beige), red (orange), and cream.

Extractions: Genetics Gondar Design Biology Genetics is the study of heredity. If you understand genetics you will be able to work out why you look like each of your parents and your siblings (brothers and sisters) but are not exactly like any one of them: unless you have an identical twin. Don't be worried in the exam if you are given an example which you have not studied: if you understand the principles you will probably find GCSE question on genetics quite easy. Don't you just hate it when you are lying in your pram gurgling away and all your dad's family come up and say "Ooooh doesn't he look just like his dad?" and then all your mum's family come and say "Oooh doesn't she look just like her mum?".

Extractions: An example of recessive inheritance: albinism Our facial features, just like the rest of our body, are 'designed' by our genes. Albinism is a group of conditions where people are born with little or no pigmentation in their eyes, skin and hair (or sometimes just in the eyes alone). It occurs because they have inherited one or more faulty genes that do not produce the usual amounts of a pigment called Melanin. Apart from their physical appearance, those with the condition can experience a number of associated problems, depending on which genetic type they have. Particularly common are problems with vision and from skin burning in sunlight. About 1 in 17,000 children born in the UK have some type of Albinism. It affects all races, but may be slightly more common in some, such as those of black African origin. The genetics of albinism Several different genes are involved with pigment production, including genes on chromosomes 9,10, 11,13,15 and X, but it's not clear exactly what role each of these plays in the condition. In most cases there is no family history and the children are born to parents with normal pigmentation for their race.

Spritz, R. A. Medline Citation ABSTRACT Background Type II (tyrosinase-positive) oculocutaneous albinism is an autosomal recessive disorder that has recently been mapped to chromosome segment 15q11-q13. The frequency of this disorder is greatly increased in patients with Prader-Willi or Angelman syndrome, both of which involve deletions of chromosome 15q. The P protein is a transmembrane polypeptide that may transport small molecules such as tyrosine, the precursor of melanin. The P gene is located in chromosome segment 15q11-q13. Methods We studied the tyrosinase and P genes in three patients with type II oculocutaneous albinism, one of whom also had Prader-Willi

Key terms and goals of population genetics In the early days of genetics it was assumed simplistically that allelic diversity in a population (a group of interbreeding individuals) is rather small, i.e. there exists one common wild-type allele and at most one or a few mutant alleles. However, with the advent of more sophisticated analytical techniques, it became apparent that natural populations harbor significant allelic diversity.

http://eyeconditions.homestead.com/Albinism.html

Extractions: Types of Albinism: While most people with albinism have very light skin and hair, not all do. Oculocutaneous (pronounced Ock-you-low-kew-Tain-ee-us) albinism involves the eyes, hair, and skin. Ocular albinism involves primarily the eyes, while skin and hair may appear similar or slightly lighter than that of other family members. Researchers have identified several other genes that cause forms of albinism. In one form of albinism, the Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, there can be problems with bleeding, and with lung and bowel disease as well. Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome is a less common form of albinism, but should be suspected if a child with albinism shows unusual bruising or bleeding.

Extractions: Genetics Research A major emphasis of research in the Genetics Division has been the genetic regulation of melanin biosynthesis in the model system of human oculocutaneous albinism. Clinical, biochemical and molecular studies have provided information for accurate definition and classification of oculocutaneous albinism. Important genes involved in the synthesis and regulation of melanin synthesis have been identified, cloned, and analyzed for mutations responsible for loss of function. The molecular analyses have led to the current classification of oculocutaneous albinism based on the involved genes rather than the pigment phenotype, and this has aided in family counseling and planning. Current work includes the expression of normal and mutant tyrosinase for biochemical characterization, and for crystallization and three-dimensional structural analysis, to gain insight into basic enzyme biology and mechanisms of dysfunction. A second area of emphasis for the division involves gene mapping and localization for complex diseases. To accomplish this, a high-throughput automated DNA sequencing laboratory has been established, under the direction of Dr. Oetting. Mapping projects have involved breast cancer and myopia is the past and currently involved asthma, as part of a four-center NIH-funded collaborative study (CSGA). Dr. Malcolm Blumenthal, Allergy, is the PI and Drs. King and Oetting are co-investigators on the study, and the gene mapping is performed in the division laboratory.
