About This Presentation

Slide 1 - Achondroplasia Disease most associated with human dwarfism Occurs in 1 / 15,000 – 17,000 people Caused by a missense mutation
Slide 2 - History Obvious phenotype – documented throughout history - Ancient Egyptian artwork - Diego Velazquez – series of dwarf paintings in the 1600s
Slide 3 - History Cont. Exhibited in circus shows, especially in the late 1800s – mid 1900s Came to be known as “circus freaks”
Slide 4 - The Cause – Missense Mutation Achondroplasia (ACH) is caused by a missense mutation in FGFR3 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 3) on chromosome 4p in humans This nucleotide, # 1138 in exon 10 on chromosome 4, has the highest mutation rate known In 97% of patients, an adenine replaces the normal guanine at this position (observed in cDNA) 3% have a cytosine instead
Slide 5 - Consequence Both mutations result in the production of the amino acid arginine instead of glycine This production of arginine enhances gene function and # of FGFR3 signals released Mitosis is promoted, but cell differentiation is depressed due to enhancement of gene function Inhibits proliferation and terminal differentiation, resulting in reduced bone growth
Slide 6 - Cause of Mutation Studies show correlation with paternal age Appears that the vast majority of FGFR3 mutations arise as new mutations during spermatogenesis before Meiosis I All mutations studied so far occur on the paternal chromosome
Slide 7 - More Genetics ACH is an autosomal dominant trait, meaning that a diseased parent has a 50% chance of passing it on (pedigree next slide) Despite these odds, almost 90% of patients have de novo, or spontaneous, ACH Probably due to either of two missense muta-tions or difficulty of the diseased to reproduce
Slide 8 - Pedigree Analysis Used to classify the disease as autosomal dominant Does not skip a generation, prevalent in females and males Lethal gene – homozygous dominant individuals usually die before birth
Slide 9 - Phenotype & Symptoms ACH has 100% penetrance and consistent expressivity Height of ~ 4 ft., short extremities, slight to moderate obesity, and large head Children have delayed motor milestones, bowing of lower legs, frequent ear infections (due to short Eustachian tube), and trouble breathing (due to airway restriction) 2 – 5% of infants die due to symptoms
Slide 10 - Phenotype & Symptoms Cont. Statistics show mortality rate more than doubles the general population Does not effect intelligence Biggest challenge is overcoming social ineptitude and low self-esteem (Television show – “Little People, Big World” on TLC) - Depression is common
Slide 11 - Reproduction Restrictions Difficulty in reproduction due to: - Restriction of ovarian stimulation and puncture - Small pelvic size - Anesthesia risks - Assortive mating - Gene lethality
Slide 12 - Similar Dwarfing Diseases ACH is the most common of ~200 kinds Thanatophoric dysplasia (TD) Hypochondroplasia FGFR3 regulation is linked to all kinds
Slide 13 - Other Species ACH and other dwarfism diseases occur in other mammals, as well Same characteristics as in humans
Slide 14 - Diagnosis in Humans Easier since the phenotype is apparent at birth Expected if a parent is diseased At least X-ray analysis, at most RFLP – restriction enzyme SfcI May diagnose prenatal embryos
Slide 15 - Treatment New method of adding height, called distraction osteogenesis, is being researched - Lengthen tibia bone with very few risks - Increase of 4.0 +/- 1.98 centimeters Growth hormone therapy is still under study Gene Therapy possibility Altered clothing, car-pedal extensions, respect from average-sized individuals, and even a support group (see next slide) all help the low self-esteem and depression that is common
Slide 16 - Support Group Therapy Research shows 5,000 – 10,000 achondroplasts in the U.S.A. and 65,000 on Earth Support groups allow for sharing of experiences and more social interaction Little People of America, founded by actor Billy Barty, has more than 5,000 members Help to lead a normal life…
