During development, germ cells first appear in the extraembryonic tissues and subsequently migrate to the developing fetal gonad. Shortly after arrival in the gonad, the PGCs end a period of rapid division and differentiate along sex specific pathways. XY germ cells enter a mitotic arrest, while XX germ cells enter meiotic prophase. Recent evidence suggests that primordial germ cells are also responsible for the erasure of epigenetic marks in the germline, and that erasure coincides with gonad colonization. We are interested in understanding the mechanisms which regulate these diverse programs in early gonadal germ cells.

University of Oulu Reviewed by Professor Emeritus Pertti Aula Docent Harriet von Koskull UNIVERSITY OF OULU, OULU FINLAND 2003 ISBN 951-42-7027-4 URN:ISBN:9514270274 Abstract The Prader-Willi (PWS) and Angelman (AS) syndromes are clinically distinct developmental disorders which are caused by genetic defects in the imprinted domain at chromosome 15q11-q13, resulting in the loss of paternal (PWS) or maternal (AS) gene function. In this study, the genetic changes of 15q11-q13 and their possible inheritance in Finnish PWS (n=76) and AS (n=47) patients are described. The diagnosis could be confirmed by laboratory methods in all PWS and in 43 (91%) AS patients. A deletion of 15q11-q13 accounted for 76% of the PWS and 67% of the AS patients in whom a specific genetic defect had been established. The origin of deletion was always paternal in PWS and maternal in AS. In PWS, deletions of four different sizes were detected, while in AS only type I or II deletions were found. The smallest overlap of deletions/critical region detected was from locus D15S13 to locus D15S10 in PWS and from locus D15S128 to locus D15S12 in AS. A rare recurrence of del(15)(q11q13) due to maternal germ line mosaicism is described.

MARK TERRY NON-MENDELIAN GENETICS: A TALE OF TWO SYNDROMES by Mark Terry In the two previous columns I’ve discussed some of the characteristics and mechanisms that cause two genetic syndromes: Prader-Willi Syndrome and Angelman Syndrome. Traditional Mendelian genetics involves the transmission of traits from parents to children. Each trait, gene or genetic loci is located on a single chromosome. One chromosome is inherited from the mother and the other is inherited from the father. Prader-Willi and Angelman Syndromes are both usually caused by deletions in the q11 to q13 band region of chromosome 15. However, a complicated Non-Mendelian molecular action referred to as methylation can cause genes to be turned on or off. So when the maternally inherited chromosome 15 is deleted, the child has Angelman Syndrome; when the paternally inherited chromosome 15 is deleted, the child has Prader-Willi Syndrome. That’s what happens when one chromosome is inherited from the mother and one chromosome is inherited from the father. But what happens when both chromosomes of a pair are inherited from one of the parents and none are inherited from the other?

MARK TERRY NON-MENDELIAN GENETICS: A TALE OF TWO SYNDROMES Part 1: Prader-Willi and Angelman Syndromes by Mark Terry Today’s column and the next two will address the complex genetics of imprinting and uniparental disomy by examining two syndromes: Prader-Willi Syndrome and Angelman Syndrome. First I want to remind you of a few basic factskeep them in mind because we’ll be discussing their exceptions. First, as Gregor Mendel explained in the mid-1800s, traits are inherited and may have two loci, one of which may be dominant (expressed) and one of which may be recessive (not expressed). Second, in human beings, DNA comes packaged in 23 pairs of chromosomes. Under ordinary circumstances we receive one copy of each pair from our mom and one copy from our dad. Third, at the basic level, a gene will be on both inherited chromosome pairs and will be dominant and/or recessive. Keeping those basic facts of genetics in mind, let’s take a look at two complex syndromes. Prader-Willi Syndrome Prader-Willi Syndrome, or PWS, is typically associated with a deletion of chromosome 15 in the q11 to q13 banding region. It occurs in about 1 in 12,000 to 15,000 people and does not differentiate between sex or race. Neonates and infants display hypotonia, which improves with age. They generally exhibit feeding problems and poor weight gain as infants, which is replaced between age one and six with excessive and/or rapid weight gain leading to obesity, unless there is intervention. This weight gain is the result of one of the more eccentric traits of PWS, which is an obsession with food, and "foraging" behavior. Families with older PWS patients have been forced to padlock their pantries and refrigerators to keep the children from compulsive eating. Some older PWS patients report eating out of Dumpsters because of their compulsion.

Matthew's Sister Rachel M. Williams ANGELMAN SYNDROME As presented by Rachel M. Williams October 13, 2000 At Brevard Community College, Cocoa, Florida My family received a most unique gift one Christmas Day. After three years of trying to find out why my brother, Matthew, was not developing mentally and physically, we met my uncle, Dr. Charles Williams , at a family Christmas gathering. He immediately took us, on Christmas Day, to the University of Florida's genetics research department and diagnosed my brother on the spot. Matthew had Angelman Syndrome. As it turned out, Uncle Charlie specialized in the genetics of Angelman Syndrome. Today I would like to inform you a little about Angelman Syndrome. In the twelve years my brother was alive, I learned a great deal about the scientific nature of this condition as well as how to care for an individual with Angelman. I would like to share some of this information with you by first explaining the history of Angelman Syndrome, as well as a brief description of the characteristics, and finally the role Angelman Syndrome played in my life. English physician, Dr. Harry Angelman, diagnosed Angelman Syndrome in 1965. According to an article by Dr. Angelman entitled, "Puppet Children: A Report on Three Cases," he described three children admitted to his children's ward in England. At first, they seemed to be suffering from different conditions, but he felt there was a common cause for their illness. He described all three as having stiff, jerky movements, no speech, excessive laughter, and seizures. His diagnoses were purely clinical because in spite of technical investigations, which today are more refined, he was unable to establish scientific proof that all three children had the same condition.

HUMAN GENETICS for 1st YEAR STUDENTS MENDELIAN INHERITANCE SEX LIMITED INHERITANCE n some X-linked recessive diseases, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, expression of the disease phenotype is limited exclusively to males. In some X-linked dominant traits, such as incontinentia pigmenti or orofaciodigital syndrome (OFD 1), expression is limited to females, males do not survive to term. However, the expression of a disease in only one gender does not necessarily imply that the disease is X-linked. There are autosomal diseases that are limited to expression in only one sex. Precocious puberty and beard growth are factors expressed only in males. The hereditary form of prolapsed uterus is expressed only in females. These are called sex limited traits. MITOCHONDRIAL INHERITANCE The DNA of mitochondria contains about ten genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, as well as a few other genes. This DNA is capable of mutation, so it is not surprising that a few human diseases have been found to be associated with mitochondrial inheritance. Leber optic atrophy is a classic example of a disease of mitochondrial DNA. The ovum, originating in the female, has about 100,000 copies of mitochondrial DNA; the sperm, originating in the male, has fewer than 100 copies, and these are probably lost at fertilization. Virtually all of ones mitochondria come from his, or her, mother. Affected fathers produce no affected offspring, while the offspring of affected mothers are all affected. Figure 3 below shows the typical mitochondrial inheritance pattern.

Genetics Lecture 4 Sex determination Surprisingly, it is only in the last 50 years that we have begun to understand the nature of the biological events which determine our sex, (and for that matter, why we bother with sex at all and why two sexes are better than three or more). It is not so long ago that women were blamed if they failed to produce a son for their husband and clearly it was thought that the power of sex determination lay within the body of the woman. During this century the chromosomal basis of human sex determination has been demonstrated and in the last few years some of the genes responsible have been identified. The sexual identity of an individual is determined at several levels, chromosomal sex, gonadal sex, somatic sex and sexual orientation. sex chromosomes The chromosomal basis of sex determination in humans was recognized when metaphase chromosomes from dividing male and female cells could be studied and counted. The normal karyotype contains 46 chromosomes including either two X chromosomes (46XX, females) or one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (46XY, males).

Normally, we inherit one copy of each chromosome pair from our biological mother, and the other copy of the chromosome pair from our biological father. Uniparental disomy refers to the situation in which two copies of a chromosome come from the same parent, instead of one copy coming from the mother and one copy coming from the father. Angelman syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome are examples of disorders caused by uniparental disomy. What is Angelman syndrome (AS)? People with Angelman syndrome (AS) have mental retardation, severe speech problems, stiff arm movements, and a stiff, uncoordinated walk. They may have seizures and often have inappropriate outbursts of laughter. Angelman syndrome results when a baby inherits both copies of chromosome #15 from the father (rather than one from the mother and one from the father). What is Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS)?

printer friendly ANGELMAN SYNDROME home more about us in your area conditions information ... how you can help search this site Did you find this page helpful? yes no Inheritance patterns Angelman syndrome may arise from a variety of genetic abnormalities, all of which involve the same part of chromosome 15. The majority of children have a small deletion of the 15q11-13 region. Diagnostic testing for Angelman syndrome is complex. In the majority of families only one child is affected by Angelman syndrome but in some cases brothers, sisters and extended family members may be affected. It is recommended that parents of an affected child should approach their local clinical genetics centre for genetic counselling and testing on an individual basis. Prenatal diagnosis Prenatal tests are available in those families where a definite genetic abnormality has been identified. Medical text last updated August 2002 by Jill Clayton-Smith, Consultant Clinical Geneticist, St Mary's Hospital, Manchester, UK. Psychological and Behavioural Characteristics All individuals with Angelman syndrome have severe or profound learning disabilities. Furthermore, they have marked difficulties in their speech and language development. Early prelinguistic babbling and vocal play is often absent. Children typically acquire no more than a few words, and approximately one-third do not talk at all. Their understanding of language may be meaningfully better than their speech, and most use some nonverbal means of communication, including gestures, signs and picture boards.
