Concept
Genetic mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to variations in the genetic code, potentially causing alterations in an organism's traits or functions. Mutations can occur naturally during DNA replication or be induced by environmental factors, and they play a crucial role in evolution, genetic diversity, and sometimes in genetic disorders.
Concept
Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a condition of genetic hypermutability that results from impaired DNA mismatch repair, commonly associated with certain types of cancer, such as colorectal cancer. MSI is used as a biomarker for identifying tumors that may respond well to immunotherapy, particularly in cases of Lynch syndrome.
Concept
DNA replication is a fundamental process by which a cell duplicates its DNA, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic material during cell division. This highly regulated process involves the unwinding of the double helix, synthesis of complementary strands, and proofreading to maintain genetic fidelity.
Concept
Huntington's disease is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive motor dysfunction, cognitive decline, and psychiatric symptoms, resulting from a mutation in the HTT gene on chromosome 4. It typically manifests in mid-adulthood and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning each child of an affected parent has a 50% chance of inheriting the mutation.
Concept
Fragile X syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome, leading to intellectual disability and developmental issues. It is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders, affecting both males and females, although males typically exhibit more severe symptoms.
Concept
Anticipation is the cognitive process of predicting and preparing for future events, which can influence emotions, decision-making, and behavior. It plays a crucial role in adaptive functioning, allowing individuals to plan and mitigate potential risks while capitalizing on opportunities.
Concept
Neurodegenerative disorders are a group of diseases characterized by the progressive degeneration of the structure and function of the nervous system, leading to symptoms such as memory loss, movement disorders, and cognitive decline. These disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease, are often linked to genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, and currently have no cure, making early diagnosis and management crucial to improving patient outcomes.
Concept
Genetic inheritance is the process by which genetic information is passed from parents to offspring, governed by the principles of Mendelian genetics and involving the transmission of alleles through gametes. It underlies the continuity of traits across generations and is fundamental to understanding evolution, genetic disorders, and the diversity of life.
Concept
Polyglutamine diseases are a group of neurodegenerative disorders caused by the abnormal expansion of CAG trinucleotide repeats in certain genes, leading to the production of proteins with elongated polyglutamine tracts. This expansion results in protein misfolding, aggregation, and subsequent neuronal dysfunction and death, manifesting in conditions like Huntington's disease and various spinocerebellar ataxias.
Concept
Genomic instability refers to the increased rate of mutations within the genome, which can lead to cancer development and progression. It encompasses a range of genetic alterations, including chromosomal rearrangements, point mutations, and aneuploidy, often resulting from defects in DNA repair mechanisms.
Concept
CAG repeat expansion is a genetic mutation characterized by the abnormal repetition of the cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) nucleotide sequence, often leading to neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's disease. This expansion results in the production of proteins with elongated polyglutamine tracts, which can aggregate and disrupt cellular functions.
