Incomplete Dominance01:43

Incomplete Dominance

22.2K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling01:31

Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling

2.9K
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during...

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

34.2K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

3.5K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Cohesins02:20

Cohesins

4.4K
Cohesin protein complexes are a molecular glue that holds two sister chromatids together. They play an important role both in mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, all cohesin complexes present on the chromosomes are removed before the start of the anaphase stage.
Cohesin complexes in Meiotic Division
Meiosis involves two distinct rounds of chromosomal segregation and cell divisions— Meiosis I followed by Meiosis II – producing four daughter cells. Meiosis I includes the separation of...

Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue01:27

Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue

3.1K
Chondrocytes form a temporary cartilaginous model by dividing and secreting a thick gel-like extracellular matrix. Once the chondrocytes undergo programmed cell death, osteoblasts enter the site of the cartilaginous model. The process of replacing the temporary cartilaginous model with bone in an ordered manner is called endochondral ossification. In endochondral ossification, not all of the cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. Some cartilage that performs a protective and supportive function...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Bone Biology

Background:

  • Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable skeletal dysplasia causing bone fragility and deformity.
  • OI is a collagen-related disorder stemming from genetic defects affecting collagen processing and bone mineralization.
  • Existing knowledge highlights various genetic causes and cellular mechanisms in OI pathophysiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide the latest updates on the genetics of Osteogenesis imperfecta.
  • To review new developments in both dominant and rare forms of OI.
  • To explore signaling pathways involved in OI and connect known OI types.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent advancements in OI genetics.
  • Analysis of newly identified recessive mutations and their associated OI types.
  • Examination of signaling pathways, including LRP5/6 and MAPK/ERK, implicated in OI.

Main Results:

  • Established causality of recessive mutations in TENT5A, MESD, KDELR2, and CCDC134 for OI types XIX, XX, and XXI.
  • Demonstrated overlap between newly identified OI mechanisms and established pathways like LRP5/6 and MAPK/ERK.
  • Highlighted connections between different known OI types, suggesting shared cellular and bone biology.

Conclusions:

  • Recent genetic discoveries have significantly expanded the known molecular basis of Osteogenesis imperfecta.
  • The identified overlapping pathways suggest a potential final common pathway in OI cellular and bone biology.
  • Further research into these connections may lead to a more unified understanding of OI pathogenesis.
