- Of the following choices a loss of function mutation would most lukely contribute to cancer onset if the mutant gene codes for a : telomerase tumor suppressor protein ATP synthesis enzyme RNS binding proteinarrow_forwardRG, a 6-year-old child, has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). The standard treatment is 6-mercaptopurine (Purinethol), an inexpensive drug that inhibits proliferation and is effective against rapidly proliferating cells like cancer cells. The compound is an antimetabolite that interferes with DNA synthesis. However, about 10% of patients experience life-threatening toxicities. 6-mercaptopurine is metabolized and detoxified by the enzyme thiopurine-S-methyltransferase (TPMT). The most common SNPS correlated with low enzymatic activity are TPMT*3A, *3B, *3C and *2. They cause enhanced degradation of the enzyme. Genotyping reveals that RG has the following genotype: TPMT*3A/*2. Questions: A patient with TPMT*l/*1 should receive what kind of dose? Reduced dose Standard dose Increased dosearrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are correct about the ability of cancer cells to form a secondary tumor at a site distant from the primary tumor (select all that apply)? A. Is possessed by majority of cells in a tumor B. Most micrometasases fail to become secondary tumor C. Usually occurs prior to establishment of micrometatstases D. Ability is acquired along with ability to move through circulation E. Is often acquired after micrometastases have been estabilishedarrow_forward
