A Genetic disease is known as of dominant transmission related to X when
- the abnormal Gène is on the sexual Chromosome X.
- the presence of only one abnormal Gène is sufficient so that the Maladie is expressed at a boy
- the presence of only one abnormal Gène is sufficient so that the Maladie is expressed at a fille.
The abnormal Gène is transmitted either by the father or by the mère.
- If the gene is transmitted by the father, this one is obligatorily sick
- If the gene is transmitted by the mother, this one is obligatorily sick also because the abnormal gene is dominant
During the gamétogenèse, the male or female cells pass from 2n
Chromosome S (cell
Diploïde) to N
Chromosome (cell Haploïde). The abnormal gene is thus present in half of the
Gamète s.
The characteristics of a genetic disease with dominant transmission related to X are the following ones:
- It reaches the men as much as the women.
- the father does not transmit his disease to its boy (except if his wife is carrying gene).
- the mother transmits her disease to her daughters.
But to be carrying gene inevitably does not mean to be sick, the demonstrations of a genetic disease depend on its Pénétrance and the Variabilité of its expression
General outline of the dominant transmission related to X
In the diagrams, the gamètes carrying normal gene are in blue, the gamètes carrying abnormal gene are in red. The sick people are in red, the nonsick people but carrying gene are purple, the people noncarrying gene are in blue.
Union of a sick man and a noncarrying healthy woman
Like this diagram shows it:
- No boy will be reached since Y is obligatorily transmitted to them.
- All the girls will be malades
Union of a healthy man and a sick woman
Like this diagram shows it, this couple has, with each pregnancy, a risk:
- 1/2 to have a boy carrying abnormal gene thus sick
- 1/2 to have a boy noncarrying abnormal gene thus healthy
- 1/2 to have a girl carrying abnormal gene thus sick
- 1/2 to have a girl noncarrying abnormal gene thus healthy
Union of a sick man and a sick woman
Like this diagram shows it, this couple has, with each pregnancy, a risk:
- 1/2 to have a boy carrying abnormal gene thus sick
- 1/2 to have a boy noncarrying abnormal gene thus healthy
- 1/2 to have a carrying girl homozygote thus sick
- 1/2 to have a carrying girl hétérozygote thus sick
General base of the the genetic Council in the dominant diseases related to X
In genetics, the
proposer nominates the person reached of the genetic disease from which one makes the genetic Conseil.
