Chromosome involved in Myotonic Dystrophy is
Correct Answer: Chromosome 19
Description: (A) Chromosome 19[?]Myotonic Dystrophy:oGenetics: Myotonic Dystrophy is caused by a triple nucleotide (triplet) expansion (CTG) in the non-coding region of the myotonin gene at chromosome 19q13.3.o3 Genetic loci:-DM1: 98% of families 1 Myotonin protein kinase (DMPK); chromosome 19q 13.3; Dominant-DM 2: 1 Zinc finger protein 9; Chromosome 3q21; Dominant-DM3: 1 Chromosome 15q21-q24; Dominant.-The condition is characterized by extreme variability, anticipation & differential expansion in the maternal & paternal germline.-4-37 repeats Normal->50 repeats affected[?]Inheritance Pattern:oTypical pattern is a heterozygous affected a parent with a homozygous unaffected parent.oEvery child has 1 chance in 2 of having the diseaseoBoth sexes are affected equally.[?]Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DMI):oCommonest form of adult muscular dystrophy (incidence 1:6000)oAge at onset late teensoInheritance autosomal dominant with anticipation[?]Myotonic Dystrophy (MD) is a trinucleotide repeat disease with multi-systemic involvement: muscle (myotonia & weakness), nerve, CNS (MR), heart (conduction problems), eyes (cataract), Hypersomnolence, Apathy, Cognitive impairments, Endocrine dysfunction etc.,oMyotonia refers to the slow/impaired relaxation of the muscles after voluntary contraction or electrical stimulation.GENETIC DISEASES & ASSOCIATED CHROMOSOMES*.
