- 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. What if the couple wanted prenatal testing so that a normal fetus could be aborted?A couple was referred for genetic counseling because they wanted to know the chances of having a child with dwarfism.

- Shown above is a family pedigree tree in which family members afflictedwith the disease Haemophilia are shown with filled-in squares (male) or circles (females). A couple is trying to determine the likelihood of passingon the disease to their future children (represented by the ? symbolabove) because the hemophilia runs in the woman’s family.

Would this child have the disease?Congenital hypertrichosis (CH) is a very rare X-linked dominant inherited condition. CH is characterized by the growth of dark hair over the body. CH is so rare, only 50 cases have been identified since the Middle Ages. The incidence of this condition is considerably higher in a small Mexican village (from which the partial pedigree below is derived) than the rest of the human population.

Individuals infected with this condition can have darkened skin, brown urine, and can suffer from joint damage and other complications. Given this pedigree answer the following questions. Given the data in the pedigree chart is this genetic condition autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive? What are the genotypes for #1, #2, and #3? If either of the 4th generation "aa" females were to mate with a homozygous dominant male would any of their offspring illustrate the phenotype? Why or why not?
