  1. Polymorphisms

  2. Definitions Monomorphism: Section of DNA where thenucleotide sequence is the same for everyonein thepopulation. Polymorphism: Section of DNA with at leasttwo common nucleotide sequences (alleles)in the population. “Common” is arbitrarily defined as a frequency of 1% or more. Mutant: Allele with a frequency of less than 1%.

  3. Types of Polymorphisms: I. Protein/enzyme polymorphisms (assay is for the geneproduct, e.g., blood groups) II. DNA polymorphisms (assay the DNA directly) SNP: Single nucleotide polymorphisms Tandem repeat polymorphisms Structural polymorphisms (insertions, deletions,inversions, etc.) CNV = Copy Number Variant Sequencing polymorphisms

  4. Allele 1: C TGATCTTG...........TGCCAGTT . . . . . . . . .CCGTAGCGAA TGATCTTG...........TGCTAGTT . . . . . . . . .CCGTAGCGAA Allele 2: T SNP: Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Section of DNA that difference in one and only one nucleotide.

  5. ..TTATGAACGAACGAACGAACGAACGAACGAACGAACTTACGT... tandem repeat (8 repeat allele) ..TTATGAACGAACGAACGAACTTACGT... tandem repeat (4 repeat allele) Tandem Repeat Polymorphisms: A nucleotide sequence is repeated over and over again and the polymorphism is in the number of times it is repeated. Repeated sequence = GAAC

  11. Copy Number Variant (CNV) Long (> 1 kb or > 10 kb) structural variant (insertion, deletion, duplication, inversion, etc). NOTE: Defined by the technology used to detect them, not by any conceptual difference between themand a structural variant.

  17. PCR: Polymerase Chain Reaction Purpose = Make a lot of copies of a desiredpiece of DNA (i.e., “amplify” the DNA)

  18. GATCCAG GATCCAG GATCCAG GATCCAG GATCCAG PCR: Polymerase Chain Reaction • Start with a soup containing: • the DNA that you want to amplify • enzymes to replicate DNA (polymerase) • lottsa free nucleotides • primers = short initial section of the gene that you wantto amplify (e.g., ) G G G A A C A T C G A A T C T T G C C T C C T T G G

  19. PCR: Polymerase Chain Reaction Procedure: • Heat the mixture. Just before the boiling point of water, the DNA will become single-stranded. • Cool the mixture. As the mixture cools, the primer will bind to the DNA and the polymerase will synthesize a new strand for each strand of DNA. • Repeat steps 1 and 2 until a sufficient amount of the desired gene is available for analysis

The first (black letters) are ordinary nucleotides. The second (colored letters) are special nucleotides (dideoxy nucleotides) that have two important properties: (1) they will halt the synthesis of the DNA strand whenever they are incorporated into it, and (2) they will fluoresce when viewed under the appropriate lighting.

The polymerase will “grab” free nucleotides and add the appropriate one to the extend the strand.

Use electrophoresis to separate the strands according to size.

  29. 7. Viewing the gel under a special light allows the colored nucleotides to fluoresce. This lights up the band. The color-coding permits the DNA sequence to be read.
