Trisomy=/=inbreeding

[–]Kowzorz 292 points293 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

For those wondering, trisomy is the category of chromosomal errors that encompasses diseases like Downs Syndrome. While inbreeding can often lead to a higher occurrence of recessive (and often bad-for-the-organism) traits, trisomy is not included in the list of things inbreeding affects.

So to summarize, the title is completely misleading.

[–]ajkkjjk52 18 points19 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's possible that inbreeding could lead to homzygosity for a mutant form of one of the enzymes involved in chromosomal segregation. But that's a pretty small possibility.

It is more likely that, indeed, this "down syndrome," if it really is such, is not related to the inbreeding. Or it is related, but isn't a trisomy.

trisomy is not included in the list of things inbreeding affects.

This part needs clarification. Are you saying inbreeding does not cause trisomy? The Wikipedia page suggests trisomies are caused by chance (no fault of the parents).

[–]Kowzorz 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nothing I could find suggests that inbreeding has anything to do with forming trisomy, since it's just a chance malfunction in copying dna. So I guess, conceivably, if there was an inbred trait that affected how dna gets copied, it could be linked, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist, or is rare enough to be considered negligible.

I don't think OP means this tiger has downsyndrome. It has something that looks like downsyndrome, which was caused by inbreeding.

[–]scottNOT 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The "OP" said "essentially", not literally. You are probably smart enough to draw the parallels. His use of the term down's syndrome may have been too specific, in which case you should have written "OP is essentially retarded". You are now a hypocrite for ignoring a rule for ridicule, because the OP is obviously not retarded.

[–]m0laria 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Is this actually the result of a trisomy though? Could be inbreeding increases the frequency of "Down's syndrome" appearing disorders, but the OP didn't know what they actually were.

[–]GeneralFalcon[S] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't really know what causes this deformation. I know trisomy is the cause of Down's in humans, and that it isn't related to inbreeding, but I don't know what this is. It looks like Down's, so I said essentially Down's. I do know that white tigers have a lot of genetic issues related to inbreeding, and I was told this is pretty typical.

[–]GeneralFalcon[S] 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ligers have their own genetic issues. They do have a lot of mental issues, but one of the biggest problems is that they generally don't ever stop growing. One of their main causes of death is when they get too big for their organ systems to provide nutrients. It's not unheard of for them to reach 900 pounds.

For comparison, the biggest tiger I've ever been around was about 750 pounds, and most tigers range from about 300-500 pounds.

[–]buterbetterbater 19 points20 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

this is not correct :It is erroneously believed that ligers continue to grow throughout their lives due to hormonal issues. It may be that they simply grow far more during their growing years and take longer to reach their full adult size. Further growth in shoulder height and body length is not seen in ligers over 6 years old, same as both lions and tigers. Male ligers also have the same levels of testosterone on average as an adult male lion, yet are azoospermic in accordance with Haldane's rule. In addition, female ligers may also attain great size, weighing approximately 320 kg (705 lb) and reaching 3.05 m (10 ft) long on average, and are often fertile. In contrast, pumapards (hybrids between pumas and leopards) tend to exhibit dwarfism. Ligers are the same size as the prehistoric American lion.[citation needed] -wikipedia

Dogs are essentially wolves with downs syndrome.

Not at all. They're much more akin to people with William's Syndrome. They're not smart, but really they're friendly. I think I've also read that the same gene that's switched on in domesticated dogs is the one that causes William's Syndrome in humans, but I don't have a citation for that.

Just got sucked into a Wiki/Youtube hole reading and watching videos about Williams Syndrome. Thanks for that.

Dogs' brains are nothing like humans. I don't want to spend another 6 hours of my life going over the differences but dogs are most likely more intelligent than wolves when compared to their environment. A sample set of wolves is more likely to harbor individuals with species-peeked intelligence because their environment causes the stupider ones to die early. This does not happen to domestic dogs as much. However, the stimulation that domestic dogs are subjected to causes an average domestic dog of a wolf-like breed to be much smarter in time than a wild wolf would be. If we domesticated wolves, I think the intelligence curve would probably even off.

My uncle has a wolf/shepherd the dog is crazy smart but only has loyalty to him. It seems to understand whats going on very well but anything you ask it to do is a suggestion at best. Its like a dog that is looking for a better job.

It looks like a shepherd with an abnormally furry ruff and has very developed chest muscles. Its claws are also way bigger than they should be. It look 5 years to learn how to bark like a dog.

The fact that the stupid wolves die is precisely why wolves are smarter. That's how evolution works. The differentiation seen in dogs from wolves was accomplished through inbreeding. The less a dog looks like a wolf, the more inbreeding in its lineage.

I know this is anecdotal, but a friend of mine had a half-wolf half-german shepherd, and that thing was just in a completely different league than any dog I've ever heard of. It walked the kids to school in the morning, and picked them up in the afternoon. It would unlock the doors and let itself out at night, relocking them when it came back in. The kicker is that they never really trained it, it just did this stuff because it was that smart.

I had a girlfriend when I was younger with a do like that. Freaky smart, and with a weird habit of watching television. But you had to be introduced to it, and it would slowly get comfortable with people. It did not like strangers, at all.

[–]djaeveloplyse 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, my friends dog was pretty friendly to people generally, but if it didn't like someone it would not allow them in the house no matter what. It had it's own decision making process, and it felt it had better judgment than my friend as to who was a good or bad person, haha.

Just need to point out that evolution doesn't necessarily select for "smarter" individuals. If you missed that you missed a key chapter in your evolution studies. =/

Oh, I know, but in the case of humans it certainly did, as our survival depended primarily on our intelligence. Wolves may not be as dependent on intellect as humans, but they are still moreso than most animals, I would say.

Down's syndrome? Or Down Syndrome? Potayto, potahto. But either way, are you saying that this IS trisomy 21, or that Down Syndrome is a stand-in for any genetic disability (minority opinion)?
