Introduction History of science Mendelianinheritance 2019.
Gregor Johann Mendel (1822–1884) • Brno (Moravia) – 1856-1863 28.000 peaseedlings • Febr 8th 1865. – lecture - Natural History Society of Brno • 1866. Mendel, G., VersucheüberPflanzen-Hybriden. (Verh. Naturforsch. Ver. Brünn 4: 3–47) • 1900. Rediscovery of Mendelsworks (Hugo de Vries, Carl Corrensand Erich von Tschermak)
When Mendel described his „factors” … Chromosomes DNA Genes Were NOT described !!!
HYPOTHESIS of MENDEL Mendel assumedpresence of chromosomes 37 years beforewtheyweredescibedbySutton. Mendel usedstatistical analysis of datato descibeeffects of „factors”.

Homozygote Heterozygote X Y Hemyzygote
Mendelianinheritance - Principles Segregation During gamete formation, the alleles for each gene segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. Independent assortment Genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. Dominance Some alleles are dominant while others are recessive; an organism with at least one dominant allele will display the effect of the dominant allele.

Autosomal - Dominant ! • Minimum one of the parents is affected • Phenotype of homozygotes is more severe than heterozygotes • Male and female are affected equally • Male and female transmit evenly • Affected x Non affected results 50%<affetced (sick)phenotype • Vertical pedigree • Frequency of the mutations shows correlation to the age of father • AD mutations influence receptor, structural or carrier proteins • Variable expressivity and penetrance
Dominant autosomal • ~ 2200 known dominant trait • frequency 0.1-3/1000/birth • most frequently affected organs: skeleton central nerve system

Mary of Scotland Abraham Lincoln
Marfan syndrome – Symptomes • affected bones and joints • height • chest • long fingers • hyperflexibility
Eye and vision • myopia (short sight) • axis of the eye is longer • position of the lens is abnormál Heart and circulation • valve prolapse • aorta aneurysm • hypotension Marfan syndrome - Symptomes Frequency of mutations is increasing by age
