CELL CYCLE DISEASES AND DISORDERS

ACTIVITY 1: Complete the Table


Direction: Complete the table below by determining the genotype and phenotypic effects of the
different genetic disorders.
 
Genetic Disorder Genotype Phenotypic Effects
1. Down syndrome Genotype of Down's syndrome is 45+ Down syndrome (DS) is a major cause
XX where 21st chromosome undergoes of mental retardation and congenital
trisomy. heart disease. Besides a characteristic
set of facial and physical features, DS
is associated with congenital
anomalies of the gastrointestinal
tract, an increased risk of leukemia,
immune system defects, and an
Alzheimer-like dementia.

2. Turner’s syndrome Females usually have two X TS is associated with abnormalities of


chromosomes; however, patients with the X chromosome and characteristic
Turner syndrome have only a single X clinical features of short stature,
chromosome or one normal and one gonadal dysgenesis, sexual
defective X or Y chromosome. This developmental deficiencies, cardiac
abnormality can cause medical and/or renal defects, webbed neck,
problems such as short stature, low-set ears, skeletal deformities
premature ovarian failure and heart or including cubitus valgus, a propensity
kidney defects. to ear infections and hearing 

Turner syndrome (TS), also known as


45,X, or 45,X0, is a genetic condition in
which a female is partially or completely
missing an X chromosome. Signs and
symptoms vary among those affected.

3. Klinefelter’s The genotype of a person having Klinefelter syndrome may adversely


syndrome
Klinefelter syndrome is 44+XXY. It is affect testicular growth, resulting in
caused due to the presence of an smaller than normal testicles, which
additional copy of X-chromosomes can lead to lower production of
resulting in 44+XXY type chromosome testosterone. The syndrome may also
complement. The defect appears due to cause reduced muscle mass, reduced
an abnormal egg (22+XX) and a normal body and facial hair, and enlarged
(22+X) and abnormal sperm (22+XY). breast tissue.

4. Triple X syndrome Triple X syndrome, also called trisomy X The phenotype associated with this
or 47,XXX, is a genetic disorder that chromosomal disorder varies widely,
affects about 1 in 1,000 females. but most commonly includes
Females normally have two X language-based learning disabilities,
chromosomes in all cells — one X developmental dyspraxia, tall stature,
chromosome from each parent. In triple low muscle tone (hypotonia), and
X syndrome, a female has three X abnormal bending or curving of the
chromosomes. pinkies toward the ring fingers
(clinodactyly).

5. Cri-du-Chat Cri-du-chat syndrome is caused by a Differences in phenotype are


syndrome
deletion of the end of the short (p) arm attributable to differences in
of chromosome 5. This chromosomal genotype, which also plays a role in
change is written as 5p-. (46,5p-) the severity and prognosis. The most
characteristic finding is a high-
pitched, monotonous cry. Other
features include microcephaly, low
birth weight, hypotonia, psychomotor
retardation, and craniofacial
malformations.

ACTIVITY 2: Identify the disorder/s that may happen when the following errors in
mitosis/meiosis takes place:

Error During Cell Division Disorder/s


1. Incorrect DNA copy
Mutation

2. Chromosomes are attached to string-


like spindles and begin to move to the Chromosome Abnormalities
middle of the cell.
3. Gain or loss of whole chromosomes. aneuploidy

4. A deletion that removes 2 Mb or more Cri-du-Chat Syndrome


from the tip of the short arm of the
chromosome.

5. Having extra X chromosomes (XXX).


Triple X syndrome
