Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) can be autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, or x-linked. Apparently the dominant forms are often less severe. Eric's form of RP is Usher's Syndrome, which is an autosomal recessive inheritance (i.e., you must get a copy of the defective gene from your Mom and one from your Dad). Autosomal means it is not carried on one of the chromosomes that determines sex. Usher's Type II is recessive, so for Eric this means that both his Mom and Dad are carriers of this condition. His brother, Dirk, does not have any symptoms of RP. Question below - short answer approach image you are the genetics counselor, should Eric have children? Imagine he has a daughter (he has two, but both are adopted). What advice would you give Eric if his wife was a carrier from a genetics counseling viewpoint? Describe all the possibilities, including the percent chances.

His brother, Dirk, does not have any symptoms of RP. Question below - short answer approach Imagine you are a genetics counselor, and Dirk, Erik's brother, comes in to see you.

- Mike was referred for genetic counseling because he was concerned about his extensive family history of colon cancer. That family history was highly suggestive of hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). This predisposition is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, and those who carry the mutant allele have a 75% chance of developing colon cancer by age 65. Mike was counseled about the inheritance of this condition, the associated cancers, and the possibility of genetic testing (on an affected family member). Mikes aunt elected to be tested for one of the genes that may be altered in this condition and discovered that she did have an altered MSH2 gene. Other family members are in the process of being tested for this mutation. Once a family member is tested for the mutant allele, is it hard for other family members to remain unaware of their own fate, even if they did not want this information?

- 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.

Apparently the dominant forms are often less severe. Eric's form of RP is Usher's Syndrome, which is an autosomal recessive inheritance (i.e., you must get a copy of the defective gene from your Mom and one from your Dad). Autosomal means it is not carried on one of the chromosomes that determines sex. Usher's Type II is recessive, so for Eric this means that both his Mom and Dad are carriers of this condition.
