Genetic DisorderGenetic DisorderIs an abnormal condition that a person Is an abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes and inherits through genes and chromosomeschromosomes
Two causes:Two causes:Mutations in DNAMutations in DNA
Changes in overall structure or numbers of Changes in overall structure or numbers of chromosomeschromosomes
Prenatal Prenatal DiagnosisDiagnosis
AmniocentesisAmniocentesisA small sample of the amniotic fluid A small sample of the amniotic fluid surrounding the baby is removed using surrounding the baby is removed using a syringe. a syringe.
The fluid contains skin cells from the The fluid contains skin cells from the baby.baby.
The skin cells are grown in the lab.The skin cells are grown in the lab.
The chromosomes from the cells are The chromosomes from the cells are magnified under a microscope and a magnified under a microscope and a picture is taken.picture is taken.
The chromosomes are cut out and The chromosomes are cut out and arranged in homologous pairs in arranged in homologous pairs in decreasing size order.decreasing size order.
This is called a karyotype.This is called a karyotype.

How to Manage How to Manage Genetic DisordersGenetic Disorders
Karyotypes – used to detect Karyotypes – used to detect chromosomal disorders such as down chromosomal disorders such as down syndromesyndrome
Genetic counseling -Assess the risk of a Genetic counseling -Assess the risk of a genetic disorder by researching a genetic disorder by researching a family's history and evaluating medical family's history and evaluating medical records. records.
Blood TypingBlood Typingcontrolled by multiple allelescontrolled by multiple alleles
Human trait controlled by more than Human trait controlled by more than one allele is said to have one allele is said to have multiple multiple allelesalleles
Even though a gene may have multiple Even though a gene may have multiple alleles, a person can only carry 2 of alleles, a person can only carry 2 of those alleles because we have only 2 those alleles because we have only 2 chromosomeschromosomes
