Human genetics encompasses a variety of overlapping fields including: classical genetics cytogenetics molecular genetics biochemical genetics ... clinical genetics , and genetic counseling . Genes can be the common factor of the qualities of most human-inherited traits. Study of human genetics can be useful as it can answer questions about human nature, understand the diseases and development of effective disease treatment, and understand genetics of human life. This article describes only basic features of human genetics; for the genetics of disorders please see: Medical genetics Inheritance of traits for humans are based upon Gregor Mendel 's model of inheritance. Mendel deduced that inheritance depends upon discrete units of inheritance, called factors or genes.

   Extractions: This is a draft article , under development and not meant to be cited; you can help to improve it. These unapproved articles are subject to edit intro Human genetics became a predominant field of late 20th-century science once techniques in molecular biology were applied to pedigree studies in families with recurring cases of inherited diseases. With the sequencing of the human genome in the 21st century, genomics is predicted to have a place in routine aspects of medical care. As a sub-specialty within medicine , the clinical practice of human genetics had already been established in many countries of the world before molecular genetic tests were available to confirm diagnoses of genetic diseases, and even before DNA had been discovered. The first human geneticists were physicians who specialized in treating patients with inherited abnormalities of metabolism , the so-called metabolic diseases . Diagnosed in the early 20th century as inborn biochemical abnormalities in human metabolism that followed a Mendalian pattern of inheritance, the very first of these (alkaptonuria) was identified in 1902 by the physician, Archibald E Garrod. Clinical geneticists practiced with a focus on these rare diseases that are the result of single gene alleles that interfere with normal biochemical pathways in cells, but, starting primarily in the post WW II era, also treated chromosomal abnormalities, and genetic patterns for infertilty or repeated miscarriages in families. The specialty of human genetics therefore significantly predates the discovery of DNA in 1953. By the 1970's when cytogenetic examination of cells from the fetus and placenta collected during pregnancy by

There are 44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes in the human genome , for a total of 46. Karyotypes are pictures of homologous chromosomes lined up together during Metaphase I of meiosis. The chromosome micrographs are then arranged by size and pasted onto a sheet. Click here for a larger picture This picture is from The Primate Cytogenetics Network at ( http://www.selu.com/~bio/cyto/karyotypes/Hominidae/Hominidae.html A common abnormality is caused by nondisjunction , the failure of replicated chromosomes to segregate during Anaphase II. A gamete lacking a chromosome cannot produce a viable embryo. Occasionally a gamete with n+1 chromosomes can produce a viable embryo. In humans, nondisjunction is most often associated with the 21st chromosome, producing a disease known as Down's syndrome (also referred to as trisomy 21). Sufferers of Down's syndrome suffer mild to severe mental retardation, short stocky body type, large tongue leading to speech difficulties, and (in those who survive into middle-age), a propensity to develop Alzheimer's Disease. Ninety-five percent of Down's cases result from nondisjunction of chromosome 21. Occasional cases result from a translocation in the chromosomes of one parent. Remember that a translocation occurs when one chromosome (or a fragment) is transferred to a non-homologous chromosome. The incidence of Down's Syndrome increases with age of the mother, although 25% of the cases result from an extra chromosome from the father. Click

   Extractions: mtime: 2010-08-31 13:32:49 The Department of Human Genetics is the youngest basic science department in the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. When the Department was launched just prior to the sequencing of the human genome, it was clear that the practice of genetics research would be forever changed by the infusion of massive amounts of new data. Organizing and making sense of this genomic data is one of the greatest scientific challenges ever faced by mankind. The knowledge generated will ultimately transform medicine through patient-specific treatments and prevention strategies. The Department is dedicated to turning the mountains of raw genetic data into a detailed understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of human disease. The key to such understanding is the realization that genes not only code for specific proteins, but they also control the temporal development and maturation of every living organism through a complex web of interactions. Housed in the new Gonda Research Center, the Department serves as a focal point for genetics research on the UCLA campus, with state of the art facilities for gene expression, sequencing, genotyping, and bioinformatics. In addition to its research mission, the Department offers many exciting training opportunities for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and medical residents. Our faculty and staff welcome inquiries from prospective students. We also hope that a quick look at our web pages will give you a better idea of the Department's research and educational activities.

   Extractions: var isReferenceAnswers = true; BodyLoad('s'); On this page Library Sci-Tech Encyclopedia: Home Library Science Sci-Tech Encyclopedia A discipline concerned with genetically determined resemblances and differences among human beings. Technological advances in the visualization of human chromosomes have shown that abnormalities of chromosome number or structure are surprisingly common and of many different kinds, and that they account for birth defects or mental impairment in many individuals as well as for numerous early spontaneous abortions. Progress in molecular biology has clarified the molecular structure of chromosomes and their constituent genes and the ways in which change in the molecular structure of a gene can lead to a disease. Concern about possible genetic damage through environmental agents and the possible harmful effects of hazardous substances in the environment on prenatal development has also stimulated research in human genetics. The medical aspects of human genetics have become prominent as nonhereditary causes of ill health or early death, such as infectious disease or nutritional deficiency , have declined, at least in developed countries.

    Extractions: The Institute of Human Genetics is dedicated to promoting research and education focused on the medical and scientific significance of variation in human genome sequences. This includes inherited and acquired variation in genome sequences as well as methods to change or add DNA sequences to human cells for therapeutic purposes (i.e., "gene therapy"). The Institute of Human Genetics also serves as a university-wide resource for outreach about issues related to understanding the extent and meaning of human DNA sequence variation. The Institute of Human Genetics contributes to these goals by sponsoring pilot grants, symposia and workshops, teaching classes, and advising staff that run core facilities or control resources that are valuable for human genetics research.
