21:14:00 [Step_1] hi rahat

21:14:10 [acestep1]

21:14:18 [Step_1] which weeks to start amniocentesis and chorionic villous sampling?

21:14:27 [acestep1] oops i meant for step1

21:14:31 [Rahat3256] hiiii

21:14:37 [Lorena] yes step 1, both are right

21:14:45 [neurodoctor_75] hi rahat

21:14:49 [svaious] amniocentesis btw 16-20 weeks

21:14:53 [acestep1] ld guess

21:14:54 [Rahat3256] hi guys how r you all there

21:14:55 [svaious] CVS...9-12 weeks

21:15:03 [Rahat3256] i just got up

21:15:11 [Rahat3256] just be with you in 10 mins

21:15:34 [acestep1] we r all gd

21:15:54 [Lorena] answer

21:16:15 [Step_1] yes correct amnio is 16-20 weeks and CVS is 9-12 wks

21:16:25 [Lorena]

21:16:40 [neurodoctor_75] brb

21:16:44 [acestep1] k

21:16:58 [Step_1] alpha fetal protein......high or low in open neural tube defect? what about down syndrome?

21:17:30 [acestep1] high in open neural tube defects

21:17:33 [svaious] high in NTDs

21:17:38 [svaious] low in Downs

21:17:40 [acestep1] but low in downs i guess

21:18:08 juli enters this room

21:18:16 Valentina1 enters this room

21:18:20 [Step_1] correct. down tells you its low (down). and high in NTD. very good

21:18:31 squibble_fish enters this room

21:18:39 [acestep1]

21:18:41 [Lorena] great info

21:19:02 [Step_1] hi juli, valentina and squibble fish

21:19:35 [Lorena] i meant welcome

21:19:39 [squibble_fish] hello

21:19:43 [acestep1] hi squibble

21:19:54 [squibble_fish] i enjoy studying about genetics

21:20:02 [Step_1] the other labs for downs are hCG and estiol.....which is high and which is low in downs?

21:20:22 [squibble_fish] i don't know

21:20:52 [acestep1] estiol - high ?

21:20:56 [Lorena] unconjugated estriol

21:20:58 [squibble_fish] i know how to play baseball

21:21:18 [svaious] hcg increased..estiol decreses

21:21:19 [juli] what is the topic now?

21:21:28 nimta49 enters this room

21:21:29 [Rahat3256] yah i am back

21:21:32 [juli] genetics?

21:21:35 [Step_1] hCG is high in downs and the unconjugated estriol is low

21:21:40 [squibble_fish] i have to go now. gooodbye everyone. i want to get home to my beautiful wife.

21:21:41 [Lorena] in what chapter is all that step 1?

21:21:49 [squibble_fish] study hard

21:21:50 [Step_1] yes juli...genetics

21:21:51 [acestep1] k

21:22:07 [Lorena] by squibble

21:22:14 [Step_1] i'm looking at genetics chapter from goljan

21:22:22 [acestep1] oh

21:22:33 [acestep1] but downs is v hy

21:22:43 [acestep1] good inf step1

21:22:51 [acestep1]

21:23:04 [Lorena] i see

21:23:07 [Step_1] i'll move to more tradition stuff if you want from kap lan genetics

21:23:36 [neurodoctor_75] thats right step 1

21:23:48 [Lorena] for my second reading i will get goljan then

21:24:06 [acestep1] ya me 2

21:24:16 [Lorena] no, it is good to know , thats the purpose of this discussion

21:24:22 [acestep1]

21:24:24 [Step_1] goljan has a pretty good chapter on genetics....highly recommended

21:24:31 [neurodoctor_75] r u talkin about the gol patho

21:24:52 [acestep1] oh ic . thnx step1

21:24:52 [Lorena] thank you step 1

21:25:04 [acestep1]

21:25:15 [neurodoctor_75] how about high yield

21:25:27 [Step_1] yes, goljan path covers almost every subject....very high yield

21:25:51 [Step_1] goljan also has high yield notes, but that is separate

21:25:55 [acestep1] k

21:26:02 schoolboy enters this room

21:26:02 [Lorena] difference of mutation in Duchenne and Becker?

21:26:20 [acestep1] ok what type of chromosomal abn is downs synd

21:26:27 [neurodoctor_75] i meant yh mol biol????

21:26:41 [acestep1] hmm dont remb lorena

21:26:58 [Lorena] down is a trisomy (chrom 21)in 95% of the cases

21:27:19 [acestep1] yes v gd lorena

21:27:23 [Lorena] in 4% is a robertsonian translocation

21:27:30 [Step_1] and translocation 4%

21:27:47 [acestep1] yes v gd step1

21:27:54 [Lorena] what about that 1% left?

21:28:05 [Step_1] duchenne's is x linked recessive

21:28:15 [acestep1] i think reciprocal in 95 % n 5 % robertsonian

21:28:34 [acestep1] tht was downs synd

21:28:40 [Step_1] i think that beckers is also x linked, but milder....not sure

21:28:47 [Lorena] it says so in the genetics part of the k nnotes

21:29:01 [acestep1] k

21:29:17 [acestep1] yes duchennes more common n severe

21:29:25 [Lorena] but in pathology says 1% due to mosaicism due to mtotic non disjunction in embrionesys

21:29:52 [svaious] in Duchenes there is no dystrophin

21:30:03 [acestep1] yes

21:30:08 [svaious] ib Beckers..it is either reduced or abnormal?

21:30:13 [acestep1] ur right lorena

21:30:30 [acestep1] k. thnx savious

21:30:31 [Step_1] i have that too....downs...95% trisomy, 4% translocation and 1% mosaicism

21:30:41 [Lorena] you are all right, Duchenne is more severe

21:30:57 usmilez enters this room

21:31:19 [Lorena] the type of mutation induchenne is a framepooh pooh mutati

21:31:39 [Lorena] in becker is in frame mutation

21:32:19 [Rahat3256] which one is severe

21:32:23 [Lorena] thats why Becker is milder

21:32:25 [Step_1] good point lorena....missed that one

21:32:42 [Step_1] looking at a pedigree where father passes dz to no children, mother passes to all children (boys and girls). from those affected, still only girls pass to all children and dad to none. which inheritance?

21:32:43 [svaious] DMD is the severe one

21:33:03 [Lorena] mitochondrial

21:33:05 saima1 enters this room

21:33:40 [acestep1] x linked

21:33:40 [saima1] hi room

21:33:49 [acestep1] hi

21:34:00 [acestep1] x linked- dominant

21:34:02 [Step_1] yes, its mitochondrial inheritance because sperm do not have mitochondria

21:34:12 [Step_1] hi saima

21:34:22 [acestep1] oops

21:34:22 [svaious] good one

21:34:31 nimta49 enters this room

21:34:33 [Lorena] yes, good one step 1

21:34:35 [acestep1] so sorry step1

21:34:48 [acestep1] yes v gd q

21:35:00 [Step_1] thats ok ace....now you know it

21:35:05 [Step_1] thx

21:35:27 [acestep1] yes

21:35:36 [acestep1] thnx

21:35:47 [Lorena] what is a clastogen?

21:37:00 [Step_1] cause breaks in chromosomes

21:37:02 [acestep1] thinngs tht cause breakage of chromosomes- radiation , viruses n chemicals

21:37:15 [Lorena] yeeesss

21:37:29 [Rahat3256] A clastogen is any substance which causes chromosomal breaks.

21:37:46 [neurodoctor_75] clastosis means break in to parts

21:37:55 [Lorena] good job guys

21:38:10 [Rahat3256] thank you lorena

21:38:23 [acestep1]

21:38:48 [Step_1] newborn with trisomy 21 hs cardiovasc defects involving ASD and VSD. where is the defect? hint: neural crest origin.

21:38:48 [Lorena] function of gene XIST?

21:39:22 [acestep1] endocardial cushions

21:39:49 [acestep1] n xist- x chromo inactivation

21:39:55 [Rahat3256] a 30 yrs old man .....phenotipically normal...has 2 siblings died frominfentile taysachs by the age 5,what is the risk thatthis man is a heterozygous carrier of the disease causing mutation

21:39:59 [Lorena] endocarl cushion is thye most frequent cardiovascular anomaly in downs

21:40:09 [acestep1] hey step1 its a wild guess

21:40:15 [acestep1] ya

21:40:18 saima1 enters this room

21:40:27 [Rahat3256] hi saima

21:40:37 [Lorena] yes ace!!!

21:40:40 [Step_1] yes, endocardial cusions. good job! and a bit of embryo with the NC cells

21:40:41 mash enters this room

21:40:57 [acestep1] 25 % . i think _ rahat

21:41:00 [Rahat3256] hi mash

21:41:10 [Step_1] hi mash

21:41:13 [mash] hi guys

21:41:18 [acestep1] yes

21:41:19 [Lorena] welcome mash!

21:41:27 [acestep1] hi mash

21:41:35 [mash] thanx

21:41:48 [nimta49] unable to convert testosterone to DHT? Ambiguous genetalia

21:42:20 [mash] def of 5 alpha reductase

21:42:31 [nimta49] correct

21:42:38 [Lorena] what is the answer rahat?

21:42:39 [Step_1] hi nimta. 5 alpha red def

21:43:00 [Lorena] agrre with you guys

21:43:24 [Step_1] 50%?

21:43:28 Hamidi enters this room

21:43:29 [acestep1] n for tht we give finasteride in

21:43:37 [acestep1] ?

21:43:40 [Rahat3256] 2/3

21:43:55 [neurodoctor_75] 10%

21:44:00 [mash] BPH

21:44:19 [Step_1] finesteride is a 5 alpha red inhibitor, right?

21:44:21 [nimta49] congenital def of short arm of chr 5. microcephaly,mental retardation, cardiac abnormality

21:44:36 [Step_1] BPH

21:44:37 [acestep1] hey rahat how did u calculate it ?

21:44:38 [Rahat3256] because as it is a auto...rese disease

21:44:41 [mash] cri du chat syndrome

21:44:51 [nimta49] right

21:44:52 [Lorena] cri du chat

21:45:13 [acestep1] ya agree

21:45:14 [Rahat3256] & tha man is 3o yrs old, so no chance to be affected as he is not affected yet

21:45:15 [Step_1] cri-du-chat

21:45:18 [mash] how many genes do we share with 1st cousins?

21:45:34 [Lorena] 1/8

21:45:36 [Step_1] trick question rahat...good one

21:45:38 [Rahat3256] so he has 3 chances left

21:45:50 [Rahat3256] among them 2 heterozygous

21:45:58 [nimta49] 1/8

21:45:59 [mash] n wat abt second cousins

21:45:59 [Rahat3256] homozygous normal

21:46:02 [Lorena] good question rahat

21:46:06 [Rahat3256] so answer is 2/3

21:46:22 [Lorena] 1/16

21:46:30 [acestep1] thnx rahat

21:47:01 [Step_1] mash and nimta....you might want to select a brighter color so we can see it better by using the rainbow to the right -->

21:47:07 [Rahat3256] de nada

21:47:31 [mash] yeah sure

21:47:58 [mash] wat is mosaicism?

21:48:01 [Lorena] is that it? 1/16 for second cousins?

21:48:25 [mash] yean it is 1/16

21:48:46 [Lorena] mosaicism is when different cells in the same person has different number of chromosomes

21:49:19 [nimta49] testicular atrophy,long ext,femalke hair distribution,gynocomastia

21:49:43 [Lorena] klinefelter

21:49:53 [neurodoctor_75] presence of 2 or more celllines that r distinct but derived from single zygote

21:49:57 [mash] klinefelter

21:50:01 [acestep1] yes agree

21:50:05 [Step_1] klinefelters

21:50:09 [nimta49] correct,xxy

21:50:09 [Rahat3256] me tooo

21:50:26 [svaious] 47xxy

21:50:27 [acestep1] its aa aneuploidy

21:50:37 [acestep1] yup

21:50:37 [mash] cloning?

21:50:40 [Step_1] mosaicism

21:50:56 [Lorena] cellines???

21:51:13 [Step_1] how many barr bodies in klinefelters?

21:51:20 [acestep1] 1

21:51:25 [svaious] sex chromosome anuepolidy

21:51:27 [Step_1] cellines = cell lines

21:51:34 [mash] one

21:51:40 [svaious] one?

21:51:55 [Lorena] depending od the karyotype, if it is YX or the number of extra X chromosomes

21:52:00 [Step_1] yes one barr body because 47 xxy - one x is inactive

21:52:00 [mash] wats the ans neurodoc?

21:52:09 [Rahat3256] omm

21:52:21 [Step_1] how about in turners syndrome, how many barr bodies

21:52:38 [mash] none

21:52:41 [nimta49] no barrbody

21:52:43 [acestep1] none

21:52:47 [Lorena] but if the kayiotype is YXXX then 2 barr bodies

21:52:54 [svaious] zero

21:53:00 [mash] all but one X r inactivated

21:53:03 [Lorena] agree

21:53:22 [Rahat3256] yah i agree with lorena

21:53:24 [Step_1] good point, i should have mentioned the karyotype

21:53:44 [Rahat3256] & SAVIOUS

21:53:53 [Step_1] zero for turners because xo, so none are inactive

21:54:19 [mash] wat is pericentric inversion?

21:54:42 [Lorena] invsions that include the centromere

21:54:43 [Step_1] the answer to neuro's question should be mosaicism

21:55:05 neurodoctor_75 exits from this room

21:55:16 neurodoctor_75 enters this room

21:55:16 [Rahat3256] what is preder willi syndrome?? what is the defect??

21:55:20 [mash] i think its cloning

21:55:21 [Lorena] thank you step 1

21:55:40 [Rahat3256] thank you step 1

21:56:01 [mash] paternal inheritance of deletion of ch 15 q 11-13

21:56:06 [neurodoctor_75] sorry connection was lost

21:56:27 [Lorena] deletion n chromosome 15 given by the father

21:56:30 [mash] its an eg of imprinting

21:56:35 [svaious] mash is correct

21:56:36 [Step_1] prader willi syndrome

21:56:50 [Rahat3256] nice answer

21:56:57 [acestep1] yes

21:57:06 [acestep1]

21:57:11 [Step_1] oops, i thought mash was asking a question

21:57:24 [svaious] what is maternal disomy?

21:57:38 [nimta49] long ext,hyperextensive joint,subluxation of lens,flopt mitral valve

21:57:55 [mash] marfans

21:57:56 [Lorena] marfan

21:58:05 [Step_1] marfans

21:58:09 [nimta49] correct

21:58:12 [neurodoctor_75] marfans

21:58:13 [acestep1] hey svavious didnt egt ur q

21:58:15 [mash] ch 15 defect in fibrillin gene

21:58:23 [acestep1] yes marfans

21:58:53 [svaious] what is the concept of maternal disomy?anybody?

21:58:57 [Lorena] svaious

21:59:09 [Lorena] i dont remember

21:59:11 [neurodoctor_75] disomus is a double bodied monster??????????

21:59:12 [mash] no idea

21:59:35 [Lorena] anybody answer svaious?

21:59:37 [acestep1] dunno

21:59:38 [svaious] it is seen in syndromes like Prader wli

21:59:58 [svaious] the re is absecnce of paternal chromosome 15

22:00:27 [svaious] and presence of two maternal 15 chromosomes

22:00:42 [Rahat3256] what is the defect here? in preder willi

22:00:52 [acestep1] oh i didnt know tht

22:01:03 [Step_1] thanks svaious

22:01:18 [svaious] deletion of chromosme 15..long arm

22:01:27 [Rahat3256] ok i will say

22:01:27 [mash] mat inheritance of same deletion wud result in?

22:01:32 [Lorena] paternal del in chromosome 15

22:01:41 [Lorena] angelman syndrome

22:01:48 [Rahat3256] of 4 million bases from long arm of chromosome 15

22:01:53 [Step_1] angel man

22:01:55 [mash] right

22:01:58 [Lorena] thank you svaious for your explanation

22:01:58 [Rahat3256] yah lorena is right
