Types of polymorphism
Just to remind
Allele frequency ?
Your class of 100 people has been typed for a twoallele polymorphism (alleles labeled A and a), and the
following 3 genotype counts were obtained:
Genotype
Number of individuals
A,A
30
A,a
50
a,a
20
Total number of allele = 100 x 2 = 200
Number of allele A = (30 x 2)+ 50 = 110
Number of allele a= 50 + (20 x 2) = 90
Frequency of allele A = 110/200 = 0.55
0.434
0.292
0.035
0
0.05
0
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium/law:
I. Genotypes distribution
Frequency of allele A = p
Frequency of allele a = q
p+q = 1
1= p2 + 2pq + q2
p2 = frequency of homozygote AA
2pq = frequency of heterozygote Aa
q2 = frequency of homozygote aa
Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium:
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism
SNP A/C
p = 0.7 (frequency of allele A)
q = 0.3 (frequency of allele C)
1 = p2 + 2pq + q2
Q
Single nucleotide polymorphism SNP17361 G/T:
D. 48%
E. 58%
B. 28%
C. 38%
D. 48%
E. 58%
q = 0.4
p=1 - 0.4 = 0.6
2pq = 2 x 0.6 x 0.4 = 0.48 (48%)
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in
Mendelian diseases
Frequency of normal allele N = p
Frequency of mutant allele M = q
1 = p2 + 2pq + q2
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
Autosomal dominant disease
Frequency of normal allele N = p
Frequency of mutant allele M = q
1 = p2 + 2pq + q2
p2 = frequency of healthy (normal homozygote NN)
2pq = frequency of affected (heterozygote NM)
q2 = frequency of affected (mutant homozygote MM)
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
Autosomal recessive disease
Frequency of normal allele N = p
Frequency of mutant allele M = q
1 = p2 + 2pq + q2
p2 = frequency of healthy (normal homozygote NN)
2pq = frequency of healthy (heterozygote NM)
q2 = frequency of affected (mutant homozygote MM)
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
X-linked recessive disease
Frequency of normal allele N = p
Frequency of mutant allele M = q
Females: 1 = p2 + 2pq + q2
p2 = frequency of healthy (normal homozygote NN)
2pq = frequency of healthy (heterozygote NM)
q2 = frequency of affected (mutant homozygote MM)

PKU incidence

Carrier frequency ?
PKU incidence
optional
in China : 1 in 100,000
Frequency of MM = q2 = 1/100,000
q=1/100000 = 1/316
p= 1 1/316 = 0. 999 1
Carrier frequency = 2pq = 2 x1 x 1/316 = 1/158
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
X-linked diseases
X-linked diseases
Because males have only a single X chromosome, each
affected male has one copy of the disease-causing
X-linked recessive:
Males:
q affected
p - unaffected
Females:
q2 affected
2pq - carrier
p2 - unaffected
X-linked dominant:
Males:
q affected
p - unaffected
Females:
q2 affected
2pq - affected
p2 - unaffected
X-linked recessive
Color blindness
8% Caucasian males have color blindness
q= ?
p=?
Females
Normal non-carrier = ?
Normal carrier = ?
Color-blindness = ?
X-linked recessive
Color blindness
8% Caucasian males have color blindness
Males
q= 0.08
p = 0.92
Females
Normal non-carrier = p2 = 0.922 =0.846
Normal carrier = 2pq = 2 x 0.92 x 0.08 = 0.1472

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
Autosomal dominant disease
1 = p2 + 2pq + q2

Hardy-Weinberg Law:
II. The population genotype frequencies from
generation to generation will remain constant, if
allele frequency remain constant
If you want to know why it is true see the
following table
Random mating
No migration
Non-random mating
Assortative mating
Consanguinity/inbreeding
Stratification

Frequency of sickle cell (SC) mutation in AA = qAA=0.05
Frequency of SC mutation in US population qtotal= 0.05/10 = 0.005

Just to remind
you where we
are
Founder effect
The founder effect is the loss of genetic
variation that occurs when a new population is
established by a very small number of individuals
from a larger population
Mutation selection
Positive selection ( increased fertility
or survival because of mutation)
Negative selection ( decreased fertility
or survival because of mutation)
Genetic drift
Founder effect
Positive selection for heterozygotes
(Heterozygote advantage)
