Study Notes
Academic Integrity and Rules
- Failure to cite sources, plagiarism, or improper use of information during exams can result in loss of continuous evaluation and sanctioning actions.
- Improper use of electronic devices during exams can lead to a grade of 0.0 and may require oral examination in future calls.
- Use of electronic devices during classes is not allowed.
- Documentation provided by the teacher is for personal preparation only and cannot be shared or used for other purposes.
Genetics and Polymorphisms
- An allele is a variant of a gene.
- Alleles are part of an individual's genetic diversity and may not have any consequences on the phenotype.
- A polymorphism is a variant with a frequency greater than 1% within a population.
- Polymorphisms can be adaptive, providing advantages or disadvantages in specific environments.
- Examples of polymorphisms include protein variants, alleles that confer sensitivity to drugs or predisposition to certain diseases.
- Adult lactose intolerance is an example of a polymorphism, where individuals with a specific variant can continue to metabolize lactose.
Association Studies and Clinical Applications
- Association studies can determine if certain allelic combinations predispose individuals to suffer from certain diseases.
- Polymorphisms can be used to determine susceptibility to infection or disease (e.g., blood groups and susceptibility to malaria, cholera, diabetes, or certain types of cancer).
- Ecogenetics involves studying genetic susceptibility to physical, chemical, or infectious agents.
- Pharmacogenetics involves predicting a patient's response to treatment based on their genetic information.
Genomic Studies
- Genomic studies of a population can provide all the genetic information of different individuals.
