5. Mitochondrial inheritance Both genders are equally affected with
females being the only carriers. The expres­sion of the disease occurs in every generation. E.g., Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy [10,
12, 14, 21] (Fig.7.8)
7.2.5 Mutations inSingle Gene
Disorders
As we are already aware that the genes are responsible for the coding of proteins necessary for determining the structure and function of each cell in the body, their disruption due to vari­ous factors manifests signicantly. Mutations are the essential element in single gene disorders. The form and the place in which they occur are diverse. The consequences of such a mutation results in a protein product that may be unable to perform its function or may perform its function but in a reduced capacity or even a new protein may be synthesized with damaging function or ultimately a protein may be entirely disabled due to mutation.
The above brieng strengthens that the prime etiology of the single gene disorders is mutations. Owing to the DNA chemical instability of the bases and replication errors are the factors responsible for the emergence of mutations. These mutations can either involve change in a single base pair or deletions of a few base pairs resulting in the disturbance in the function of the affected single gene. Molecular studies on abnor­mal hemoglobin and different forms of thalas­semia were crucial in amassing our knowledge on different types of mutations.
Fig. 7.9 Schematic representation of point mutation.
Upper schematics represent normal sequence of base pairs, while the below represents mutated sequence of base pairs. Highlighted represents point mutation of the base pair
Point mutations are changes involving a single base pair of a gene (Fig.7.9). They result in either of the following mutations. If an amino acid is replaced for another in a protein, it is termed as missense mutation. If an amino acid codon is replaced with a stop codon resulting in premature termination of the translation, it is termed as non­sense mutation. The specic sequence of codons that run from the start codon to the stop codon in mRNA is called a reading frame. Changes in the reading frame resulting in unrelated amino acid introduction into the protein are termed as frame shift mutations. Structural variation due to point mutations can be seen in alpha 1 antitrypsin de­ciency, while nonsense and frame shift mutations are evident in factor VIII and IX deciency.
Deletions of genes either partial or complete will subsequently lead to change in the gene number which is manifested in thalassemia and Lesch Nyhan syndrome. Inversions seen in δβ

thalassemia, initiation and termination codon mutations in α thalassemia, and RNA processing mutations are some examples of mutations that take part in the etiopathogenesis of single gene disorders [10, 12, 13, 15].
Accumulation of information on the molecu­lar level of these disorders is essential to under­stand the variation in the penetrance and clinical phenotypic expression of them. Also, the reec­tion of the expression of these disorders may or may not be constricted to a particular organ/sys­tem of the body but may involve a group of organs or affect different systems of our body. Hence, we have tried to list some of the single gene disorders affecting the various systems of our body though their expression may be evident in other systems too (Table7.1). The register of single gene disorders http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
gov/omim continues given the number of genes
and the sequences recorded [22]. However, some of the disorders with signicant oral manifesta­tions are listed in Table7.2.
7.3 Chromosomal Disorders
Chromosomal disorders are those disorders where the chromosomes exhibit signicant and evident changes in them. Each of the 46 chromosomes houses thousands of genes accommodating infor­mation required for the overall growth and develop­ment of our body. Any disturbance during the developmental stages of either the egg or the sperm formation or even during the fetus formation and development may lead to chromosomal abnormali­ties. However, the presentation of the different effects is dependent on the type of abnormalities. Therefore, any changes either affecting the number or structure of the chromosomes may hamper the normal functioning of the individual [37].
7.3.1 Numerical Abnormalities
inChromosomal Disorders
In humans, the somatic nucleated cells are dip­loid or 2N signifying the presence of 46 chromo­somes, in contrast to the haploid/1N nature of the
germ cells with 23 chromosomes. Therefore, any changes in the number either addition or deletion manifest as numerical abnormalities in chromo­somal disorders. They are listed below:
1. Aneuploidy When the total number of chromosomes
present is not an exact multiple of the haploid number, then it is termed as aneuploidy. E.g., 2N-1(45 chromosomes), 2N+1 (47 chromo­somes). Nondisjunction, i.e., failure of normal separation of the chromosomes during cell division either during meiosis or mitosis, is considered as the most common mechanism responsible for aneuploidy. During mitosis, nondisjunction leads to two or more cell lines derived from the same zygote, termed as mosaicism, commonly observed in cancers. Anaphase lag is another form of nondisjunc­tion resulting in one normal daughter cell, while the other is monosomic due to the miss­ing chromosome (Table
2. Polyploidy When the total number of chromosomes
present is a multiple of the haploid number, then it is termed as polyploidy. E.g., 3N (69 chromosomes), 4N (92 chromosomes). It is commonly manifested in dividing cells and therefore may be the reason for spontaneous abortions [23].
7.3).
7.3.2 Structural Abnormalities
inChromosomal Disorders
Structural abnormalities are those abnormalities within the structure of the chromosome as a result of breakage and incorrect rejoining of its seg­ments. These abnormalities can be either bal­anced or unbalanced in nature. The presence of complete chromosomal set despite of rearrange­ment is termed as balanced while any additions or missing information is termed as unbalanced structural rearrangements. These abnormalities occur during gametogenesis and get transmitted to all the somatic cells leading to hereditary transmissible disorders or mutation of somatic cells (Fig.7.10).

7.3.2.1 Balanced Rearrangements
Balanced rearrangements may go undetected as full complement of DNA is still retained and fails to manifest as a disease. Complete absence or synthesis of nonfunctional protein due to break­age of chromosome or formation of a hybrid due to chromosomal segment fusion of two genes resulting in a new detrimental protein is the pos­sible consequences required for the manifestation of the disease. Inversion and translocation of chromosomal regions are the two types of bal­anced rearrangements. Inversion involves the breakage of a single chromosome at two points and usually does not manifest as an abnormality. On the other hand, translocation literally means cross-over or exchange of chromosome frag­ments and is of two types, reciprocal and Robertsonian translocation. Exchange of genetic material due to single chromosomal breakage
without the involvement of the centromere is termed as reciprocal translocation which can either be balanced or unbalanced in nature. Philadelphia chromosome, commonly seen in chronic myeloid leukemia, is a typical example for balanced type of reciprocal translocation. Robertsonian translocation occurs due to fusion manifesting as one large chromosome and other small one. They express normal phenotype but are usually accompanied with infertility.
7.3.2.2 Unbalanced Rearrangements
These include deletions, inversions, ring, and iso chromosome. Loss of genetic material either from the middle or terminal part of a chromo­some is termed as deletion which is commonly seen in cri du chat syndrome. Rearrangement of a single chromosome due to breakage at two points is termed as inversion. Breakage of the terminal

7.4 Cancer: AGenetic Disease
Cancer, as we all are aware, is a pernicious epi­demic and a leading cause of death worldwide. Irrespective of the vast research in this eld, sur­vival rates remain stunted and unaltered. We can speculate its complex behavior to be a reason for the same. Cancer is considered to be a multifacto­rial disease with combined genetic, metabolic, and environmental inuences.
7.4.1 Genetic Factors inCancer
Cancer may be due to inherited, somatic, or even a combination of these mutations. Mankind has strived to analyze the genetic basis of cancer as it forms the core for its emergence. To date, nearly 1000 known cancer-associated genes are identi­ed composing of both oncogenes and tumor

suppressor genes. Carcinogenesis is thought to be attained with two or more mutations in the above genes, which makes us realize that there may be

more than a million cancer genotypes. Deciphering the cancer genetics, researchers have identied nearly more than million coding point mutations and non-coding mutations, more than ten thousand gene fusions and genome rear­rangements, lakhs and millions of abnormal copy number segments, and varied expressions.
What’s further more interesting is that in a study by Lee etal., they revealed that nearly 10–50 thousand of different single nucleotide variants in cancer cells were observed when compared to nor­mal counterparts on whole genome sequencing [26, 27]. We have tried to list some of the cancers and their mode of inheritance in Table7.4.
Apart from inheritance of mutated genes, sev­eral other factors inuence the microenviron­ment for the development of cancer. Our environment and lifestyle contribute tremen­dously in our well- being. Inuence of habits such as tobacco, both smokeless and smoking forms, and alcohol is the major culprits in can­cer. Tobacco is known to be associated with car­cinoma of lung, mouth, esophagus, and larynx. It is observed that cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene polymorphism either alone or in combination of certain deciencies may predispose a smoker to cancer [28]. It is an established fact that most of

the HPV-associated oral cancer patients with a habit of chewing tobacco present with p53 alter­ations such as point mutations, overexpression,
or even degradation [27]. Thence, exposure to tobacco leads to DNA single-strand breaks, polymorphisms, genetic mutations, chromo­some aberrations, micronuclei, reactive oxygen species-induced oxidative stress, etc. Further, literature supports the role of alcohol consump­tion combined with polymorphism of ADH1B (alcohol dehydrogenase) and ALDH2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase) in cancer. Therefore, cancer is an amalgamation of genetic changes either inherited or acquired due to the environmental inuences or a combination of both [2933].
7.5 Conclusion
The repertoire of chromosomal and single gene disorders strives upon the importance of assimi­lation of the biological basis as it is the core for the recognition and diagnosis and forms the basis for counselling in these disorders. Having a thor­ough knowledge of the facts and gures at the molecular level aids in correlation of the clinical presentation with that of identication of the dis­orders; otherwise we might end up looking for a needle in a haystack.

Some studies may also differentiate between CL/P and cleft lip with cleft palate (CLP). Others describe submucous cleft palate (SMCP), a con­dition where the palatal cleft is obscured by an intact mucous membrane [4]. Oro-orbital cleft has been described in the context of parasitic infection [5]. At present, it is generally accepted that OFCs can be etiologically stratied into one of two major subtypes: CL/P or CPO.However, there is increasing evidence that CLO may have etiologies that are distinct from CL/P [6].
Orofacial morphogenesis involves tightly reg­ulated cellular processes including cell migra­tion, proliferation, differentiation, transition, and apoptosis. These processes are reviewed in

greater by Ji etal. [7]. Craniofacial development begins with the epithelial-mesenchymal transi­tion (EMT) of cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) that stream from the cephalic end of the neural tube into the frontonasal process (FNP) and rst branchial arch (BA1) [810]. CNCCs differenti­ate into structural craniofacial tissues including the bone, cartilage, and connective tissues [7,
11]. While the mandibular structures are derived
from the posterior portion of BA1, the maxillary structures develop from the anterior portion of BA1. The two major developmental processes implicated in OFCs include midfacial morpho­genesis, involving upper lip and primary palate development, and palatogenesis, which involves development of the secondary palate [7].
Despite some differences between species, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these processes are generally conserved between
