Biological Sciences Division University of Chicago University of Chicago Hospitals Contact Us The Department of Human Genetics is the home within the Division of Biological Sciences for the study of basic principles of genetics and genomics as applied to human disease. We provide broad training in experimental genetics and genomics, statistical and population genetics, bioinformatics, and clinical genetics.  A common theme throughout our research is the application of basic genetic principles and strategies to the study of disease mechanism, disease susceptibility, and the genetic architecture of complex traits. Our faculty bridge between basic and clinical research and train students for careers in academia, industry, and medicine. T.

Home World News Latest Articles Escape Hatch ... Endless Buzz Human Genetics Human genetics is the branch that studies the aspect of 'inheritance' in formation of human beings. Its study makes it easier to understand the cause of certain disorders, behavioral issues and development. What Makes up DNA DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is known as the building block of life. Through this article let us discuss what makes up DNA and its role in life. Chromosomes in Humans The correct diploid number of chromosomes in humans is 46, out of which 44 are somatic ones and remaining 2 are sex determining chromosomes. Any abnormalities in the chromosomal number or structure are expressed as genetic disorders. Read on to know more... DNA Replication Enzymes DNA replication, the basis of biological inheritance, is made possible by certain enzymes present in cells. In this article, I talk about the prime DNA replication enzymes and their functions. Genetic Predisposition Genetic predisposition is an interesting aspect used to determine the risk of developing disease in an individual, particularly if he or she has a medical history for a chronic health problem. For information on genetic predisposition to obesity, depression, addiction and disease, read on... Genotype and Phenotype Difference This article dwells on genotype and phenotype difference. Genotype refers to the genetic constitution of an individual or organism, while phenotype is the observable traits of an individual such as height, weight, color, behavioral patterns, etc. Read more on phenotype vs genotype...

Public release date: 10-Jan-2001 E-mail Article Contact: Kate Beauregard kbeaure@emory.edu The American Journal of Human Genetics Scientists identify the gene for familial dysautonomia, a degenerative neurological disorder In the March issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics, two groups report that mutations in the IKBKAP gene, encoding the protein IKAP, cause Familial Dysautonomia (FD). Two single base pair mutations in this gene account for nearly 100% of FD cases, and this finding will revolutionize genetic testing for this devastating disorder. FD is almost exclusively found in people of Ashkenazi Jewish origin, and it is estimated that 1 out of every 32 people in this population carry an FD mutation. People with two mutant copies of the IKBKAP gene show poor development of and degeneration of the sensory and autonomic nervous systems. The symptoms in these affected individuals include: abnormal sweating, hypertension, difficulty feeding and sucking, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and insensitivity to pain. FD is fatal; only 50% of patients reach age 30 years. The major FD mutation, which accounts for 99.5% of disease chromosomes, results in aberrant splicing of the IKBKAP RNA and thus the loss of one of the coding regions for the IKAP protein. A second, much less common mutation was found to cause a single amino acid change in a putative regulatory region of the protein. Together, these mutations are believed to account for all of the Ashkenazi Jewish cases of FD. With this finding, genetic testing for FD will become very effective and much less expensive.
