Deficiency of Phenylhydrox ylase y =No conversion to tyrosine y Mousy odor,Hypopig mentation In women who are preg. The baybays could have neural tube defects like Spina Bifida. Hb disease, Val gets buried into the cell forming a cleft. The RBC polymerizes and turns sickle. Cannot pass through capillaries=vasooculsi ve crisis. Accumulation of misfolded proteins forms insoluble fibrils -> cause cell death. Brittle bones,Scurvy Since they don t eat lots of No protein, no Albumin to mobilize water, so water leaks everywhere and stomach gets big. Ab40 and 42 form fibrils and amyloid plaques which turn into neurofibrillary tangles(nft) which y
Tyrosine is reqd in formation of neural tube. An indicator of Folic acid deficiency is Fi-GLU in urine. Non-conservative missense mutation coz nature of A.acid is changing. Autosomal Recessive.
Parkinson s Disease
Prion Diseases Mad cow disease Transmissible Spongyform Encephalopathy CJO croutchfeld Jacobs disease
kills neurons. Memory Impairment (Ma name is Lisa remem) Due to lack of Dopamine in the substantia nigra. Mutation of Asynuclein causes misfolding which increases B-sheets and they form BSandwichhh. Presence of Lewy bodies in brain. Prp misfolds to PrP scrappy and increase in B-sheets. Dementia 1. Due to prion protein 2. Leads to increase in beta sheets and forms fibrils 1) Easy Bruising 2) Subcutaneous extravasations of blood (BLEEDING GUMS)
Remember TRAP Tremors Rigidity Akinesa-movmenet Postural probs Alpha synuclein is a motif.
Misfolding disease
In humans is Kuru,
Scurvy
Vitamin C deficiency
Thalassemias
Thalassemias: 1) chain is decreased or absent. -Chain is normal. 2) -Globing gene on Chromosome 11. Thalassemias: 1) chain is decreased or absent. -chain is normal. 2) -Globin gene on Chromosome 16. Thalassemia is a problem of too few globins synthesized, whereas sickle-cell anemia is a problem of synthesis of an incorrectly functioning globin. Also beneficial for patient with Malaria like Sickle Cell Anemia.
Vitamin C is a reducing agent required in Hydroxylation of Proline and Lysine (hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine) in collagen fibers. Vit C deficiency results in greatly decreasing the tensile strength in the fiber. Thalassemias(common in Asians): 1. Only I gene functional: HbH (B tetramer, B4) 2. No gene functional: Hydrops Fetalis(gamma4) Thalassemias (common in Mediterraneans) 1. B minor one allele functional 2. B-major (cooly s anemia)no allele func. Treatment: 1) Transfusion 2) Iron Chelation
Glu6lys
These patients do not suffer from infarctive crises, and no specific therapy is required In this disease some B-globin chains have the sickle cell mutation whereas the other B-globin chain carry the mutation found in HbC disease. 1. Methemoglobin = oxidized heme(Fe 3+) 2. Oxidation due to oxidizing drugs (chlorate and nitrates) or methemoglobin reductase deficiency Symptoms: 1) Chocolate colored blood, hypoxia, anxiety, headache, dyspnew, in rare cases, coma and death can occur. 1. Has high affinity 4 Hb 2. Tissue experience Anoxia 3. Treatment: oxygen tank Lack of spectrin and ankyrin binding proteins. Trtment is splenectomy
HbM Methemoglobinemias
Patients remain well until they suffer an infarctive crisis, this crisis often follows childbirth or surgery and may be fetal. Treatment: Methylene blue Which is oxidized as (Fe3+) is reduced.
CO Poisoning
CO forms stable complex with Hb and therefore would not bind/release any O2. Common among Europeans.
Hereditary Spherocytosis
Ask an Asian.
Cooley s Anemia
Hereditary Hemochromotosis
Fe Overload, Aspartate amino transferase + Alanine amino transferase leaks outa hepatocytes. Also increase in bilirubin due to increased heme degradation = hyperbilirubinimia.
Incomplete penetrance=you could have it on your genotype and not phenotype. Autosomal Recessive. HFE gene is responsible for iron absorption.
