The Concept of Multiple Allelism
Epistasis01:39

Epistasis

In addition to multiple alleles at the same locus influencing traits, numerous genes or alleles at different locations may interact and influence phenotypes in a phenomenon called epistasis. For example, rabbit fur can be black or brown depending on whether the animal is homozygous dominant or heterozygous at a TYRP1 locus. However, if the rabbit is also homozygous recessive at a locus on the tyrosinase gene (TYR), it will have an unshaded coat that appears white, regardless of its TYRP1...
Pleiotropy01:33

Pleiotropy

Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...
Gene Families01:57

Gene Families

Gene families consist of groups of genes proposed to have originated from a common ancestor. Typically these arise through events in which a gene or genes are mistakenly duplicated during cell division. Unlike their parent genes (which are subject to selection pressure to maintain function), these gene copies do not need to preserve their sequences and may evolve at a relatively faster rate.
Occasionally these regions can be adapted to take on new roles within the organism, becoming novel genes...
Gene Duplication and Divergence02:37

Gene Duplication and Divergence

The seminal work of Ohno in 1970 popularized the idea of gene duplication and divergence. DNA sequence comparison studies reveal that a large portion of the genes in bacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes was  generated by gene duplication and divergence, indicating its critical role in evolution.
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are characterized.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics
  • Human Genome Research

Background:

  • Alpha-globin cluster gene analysis is crucial for understanding various genetic disorders.
  • Restriction enzyme digestion and PCR are key techniques in genetic polymorphism detection.
  • Previous studies utilized restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) for alpha-globin cluster analysis.

Observation:

  • An abnormal 26 kb band was observed in three patients using Bgl II restriction enzyme and a z probe.
  • PCR amplification of a specific region around the Bgl II site revealed an undigested fragment in one patient and partially digested in two others.
  • Sequencing identified a consistent G-to-A substitution within the Bgl II recognition site (AGATCT to AAATCT) in all affected individuals.

Findings:

  • A novel G-to-A polymorphism in the yz1 first exon Bgl II restriction site was discovered.
  • This polymorphism was found to be associated in cis with the -a3.7 haplotype.
  • The identified polymorphism affects the Bgl II recognition sequence, altering DNA fragment patterns.

Implications:

  • This new polymorphism provides an additional marker for genetic analysis of the alpha-globin cluster.
  • PCR-based detection offers a rapid and simplified method for identifying this polymorphism, avoiding complex sequencing.
  • Understanding such polymorphisms is vital for accurate genetic diagnosis and carrier screening.
