The father of three sons and two daughters begins to show symptoms of Huntington disease. What is the probability that Sam, the man’s second oldest son (II-2), will suffer from the disease if he lives a normal life span? Sam’s mother and her ancestors do not have the disease. Sam's father was adopted, so we do not know his biological family history for Huntington disease. Explore all possible outcomes for Sam and explain your reasoning. What about the risk to Sam's sisters? Would that be the same or not?

What symptoms could Ben be displaying that would make his parents believe that he may be suffering from Autism? -Ben often sits for hours in extremely rigid positions; during these times, he seems to lose contact with the external world and does not respond to people who try to speak to him. At other times, he becomes extremely hyperactive and rambles on incoherently. -None of these scenarios indicate that Ben is suffering from Autism. -Ben started doing worse and worse in school. He stopped taking interest in the subjects he loved and stopped playing with the other kids in the neighborhood. He hardly spoke, but when he did talk to his parents he would tell them stories of people with funny names whom they had never met. Ben claimed that he played with them all the time, but they never saw Ben play with anyone. -Ben was a very loving and cuddly boy. He had a high-pitched laugh when he would play. Sometimes though, Ben would become agitated. He would speak in a low voice and try…
A woman who is eight (8) weeks pregnant requests a direct test for Huntington’s disease on her fetus. She tells her geneticist that she wants the test because she recently discovered that there is a family history of the disease in her husband’s family. One of his parents is affected so he is at 50% risk of developing the condition. She is adamant that she does not want to give birth to a baby who is at risk of developing Huntington’s and says that the test will help her to ensure that this is not the case. In counseling, she reveals that she has discussed this issue several times with her husband but he has always said he is not willing to take a test. He does not want to know his status and is extremely anxious about the possibility that he might develop the condition. The woman and her husband are currently separated but are seeing a relationship counselor and trying to work things out. Despite this, the woman says they tend to fight a lot. When it is explained to her in counseling…
Huntington chorea is an inherited disorder, with children of a parent with the disorder having a 50% chance of developing the disease. An individual with the disease usually does not manifest symptoms until he or she is between 30 and 45 years of age. The disease then progresses to death over the next 10 to 15 years. If a child of an affected parent has not developed symptoms by the age of 45, it is not likely that the symptoms will ever develop. Discuss your thinking process when deciding whether you would or would not choose to have the testing to know if you will develop Huntington chorea.

Over a period of years, Joe pays little attention to his diet. He eats mainly fried foods. He also smokes cigarettes. What outcome would you predict for Joe?
Grandpa A and Grandpa B are both turning 80 this year. Both were former heavy smokers earlier in life but have now quit. The grandpas both see their primary care providers around their 80th birthdays. Grandpa A is told that his general health status for his age is very poor, while Grandpa B is told his general health status for his age is very good. Using the lifespan perspective, what are two other factors that could possibly explain the different health statuses of the grandpas who shared the same major health risk factor (chronic heavy smoking)?
