Study Notes
Genetic Assessment and Counseling
Genetic Disorders
- These involve alterations in an individual's genetic material leading to various health problems.
Nature of Inheritance
- Determines how a genetic trait or disorder is passed from parents to offspring.
Mendelian Inheritance
- Describes patterns of inheritance based on the work of Gregor Mendel, involving dominant and recessive alleles.
- This can be further divided into dominant and recessive patterns.
Dominant Pattern
- Only one copy of a dominant allele is needed for the trait or disorder to be expressed.
Recessive Patterns
- Two copies of a recessive allele are necessary for the trait or disorder to be expressed.
Inheritance of Disease
- Understanding how diseases are inherited is crucial for genetic counseling and risk assessment.
Autosomal Inheritance
Autosomal Dominant Disorders
- Only one parent needs to carry the affected gene for a child to inherit the disorder.
- Affects both sexes equally, with no sex-related differences in inheritance.
- Usually a history of the disorder can be traced through family members.
Autosomal Recessive Inheritance
- Both parents must carry the affected gene, though they may not express the disorder themselves.
- Sex of the affected individual is not a factor.
- Often, family history doesn't reveal previous cases, indicating a horizontal transmission pattern.
X-Linked Dominant Inheritance
- All individuals carrying the dominant gene will be affected.
- Affects all female children of affected men, while male children remain largely unaffected.
- Present in every generation, demonstrating a vertical inheritance pattern.
X-Linked Recessive Inheritance
- Disorder mostly manifests in males.
- A history of infant girls dying at birth for unknown reasons often exists.
- Sons of an affected man are unaffected, with carrier mothers passing on the gene.
Multifactorial (Polygenic) Inheritance
- Traits are influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors.
- Inheritance patterns lack predictability and do not follow Mendelian laws.
- No clear inheritance pattern in family history.
Imprinting
- Genetic material expression relies on the specific parent the chromosomal material is inherited from.
- Helpful in tracking the origin of chromosomal anomalies.
Chromosomal Abnormalities (Cytogenetic Disorder)
Nondisjunction Abnormalities
- Result from uneven chromosome division during reproductive cell formation.
- Leading to zygotes with abnormal chromosome numbers, such as 47 or 45.
Deletion Abnormalities
- Occur when part of a chromosome breaks during division, leading to a missing piece.
Translocation Abnormalities
- Additional chromosomal material is acquired through another route.
Isochromosomes
- Chromosome divides horizontally instead of vertically, creating chromosomes with mismatched arm lengths.
Mosaicism
- Results from nondisjunction that takes place after fertilization has occurred
- Giving rise to cells with variations in chromosome counts within the body.
Genetic Counseling
Purpose
- Furnish people with detailed information covering the nature of inheritance process of inherited disorders.
- Reassure that the disorder will or will not occur.
- Enable educated decisions concerning future reproduction choices for those affected by the disorder.
- Furnish help for those people facing affection from genetic disorders.
Who Should Seek Counsel
- Couples with a history of congenital issues/metabolic issues for them/their children are encouraged to seek counsel.
- Balanced translocation carriers are encouraged to seek council.
- Couples of family history of child developing a genetic issue.
Nursing Responsibilities involved
- Clear explanations for available diagnostic screenings/procedures to patients.
- Help/Encourage patients to openly discuss their values, and make educated plans.
- Support for couple while experiencing the waiting period for test results.
Genetic Disorders Assessment
Components
- Family Past
- Tests and Screenings (including karyotyping, and chorionic villi sampling.)
- Physical Examination
