Characters (phenotype) are distinct 2. Genetic characteristic (alleles) have alternate forms 3. Phenotype reflects ‘dominant’ allele 4. Random segregation of alleles 7 Human Chromosomes Key facts: ü 23 pairs of chromosomes ü Each half is inherited from both parents ü Each chromosomes have multiple genes ü Each gene is sequenced by DNA – AT, GC 8  Purpose of Gene? Image Source: Glick (2015) in Burket’s Oral Medicine 9 Purpose of a gene? Blueprint codes to create proteins (DNA) Effect on development Ø Determines structure of protein Ø Controls where, when and quantity of protein needed and function of the body/cell Cell function of body -repair tissues -enzymes which causes chemical reaction (e.g. starch digestion) -stimulate / suppress multiplication of cells 10 Protein Synthesis Watch animated video - Click on link below to access ‘The animated genome’ by Sanan Media: https://www.unlockinglifescod e.org/media- gallery/animated-genome (Accessed: May 2024) Image source: BBC Bitesize 11 Proteins acting on stem cells leading to other cell formation, differentiation and function 12  Human Genetics Impact of Variant or Mutation 13 "TAGTAT" by francisco.j.gonzalez is licensed under CC BY 2.0 Why gene variant or mutation occurs? Non-Inherited Inherited Occurs in somatic cells (somatic variants) Passed from parent to child Occurs at some point in an individual’s life Variant gene was present from birth Variants cannot be passed to child Phenotype not expressed if recessive gene Caused by environmental factors (e.g. X- Individual may be a carrier radiation in medical examination, UV from sun) Error in DNA replication during cell division 14 Image Source: Glick (2015) in Burket’s Oral Medicine 5 types of Mutation ß No change to encoded amino acid sequence ß Single change to encoded amino acid sequence ß Translate ‘STOP’ codon, leading to truncation of amino acid sequence ß Change in encoded amino acid sequences at point of mutation leading to formation of different codons 15 Medical Condition Single Gene Change Image source: BBC News ne.info Cystic Fibrosis - mutation of both rce: dxli ou copies of CF Image s Transmembrane Conduction Regulator n’s D isease– [CFTR] o Huntingt Huntington Image source: HBO in mutation Achondroplasia -mutation of Fibroblast T] Gene [HT Growth Factor Receptor 3 [FGFR3] 16 Medical Condition Genetic variant (or defect) "Sickle cell blood smears" by scooterdmu is licensed Image source: Wellcome Collection C rce: BB under CC BY 2.0 ou Image s ilia – X - linked Sickle Cell Anaemia – Down Syndrome –Trisomy 21 h Haemop n- f u n c t ioning no autosomal recessive recessive Beta-globin gene gene 17 Dental Condition Some examples resulting from genetic condition ØHypodontia ØHyperdontia (Supernumery) ØMicrodontia ØMacrodontia ØMacroglossia ØAmelogenesis Imperfecta ØDentinogenesis Imperfecta 18 Explore further impact of human genetics: https://podcasts.apple.com/g b/podcast/episode-4-the- genetic-revolution- implications/id1539658870?i= 1000654905473 (Accessed: May 2024) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000sthc Click on link to watch: BBC documentary on DNA Family Secrets Hosted by Stacey Dooley (Accessed: May 2024) 19  Human Genetics Relevance in Dentistry 20 "A Unique Routine for Preparing for the Dentist Office" by idaknight316 is licensed under CC BY 2.0 Relevance of Genetics in Dentistry 1.
