- Figure 1-15 shows the family tree, or pedigree, for LouiseBenge (Individual VI-1) who suffers from the diseaseACDC because she has two mutant copies of the CD73gene. She has four siblings (VI-2, VI-3, VI-4, and VI-5)who have this disease for the same reason. Do all of the10 children of Louise and her siblings have the samenumber of mutant copies of the CD73 gene, or mightthis number be different for some of the 10 children?The following pedigree represents the inheritance of an autosomal recessive disease in a certain family. 2 5 2 4 5 8 3 4. 6. 1 1- How many males are affected by the disease? 3- How many children did the couple Il-4 and Il-5 have? 4- How many sisters did III-8 have? 5- What is the genotype of III-8? 40A young lady requested pre-marital genetic counselling because her sister had died in infancy of gangliosidosis, an autosomal recessive disease. What is the risk that this young lady has similarly affected offspring? What advice should be given?
- In man, muscular dystrophy is a condition in which the muscles waste away during early life and may result in a shorter life expectancy. It is due to a sex-linked, recessive gene. A certain couple has five children – three boys (ages 1yr, 3yrs, and 10yrs old) and two girls (ages 5yrs and 7yrs old). The oldest boy shows the symptoms of this disease. You are their family physician and they come to you for advice. What would you tell them about the chances of their other children developing the disease?Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive condition. Therefore, heterozygous (Cc) carriers do not display symptoms. Two parents who are carriers plan to start a family and you are a genetic counselor helping to advise them about their chances of having children affected by CF. a) Suppose the couple has 4 children, each one year apart. What is the probability that all 4 children will inherit CF? b) What is the probability that any 3 of their 4 children will not inherit CF, but 1 will be affected? c) What is the probability that their first child will not inherit CF, but the younger 3 children will inherit CF?Niemann Pick Type C disease is a recessive disorder that causes the accumulation of cholesterol and other lipids in lysosomes, ultimately affecting both the liver and the nervous system. Below are the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring of a family with a history of Niemann Pick. 7 NN ( all normal phenotype) 3 Nn (all normal phenotype) 4 nn (1 early onset dementia, 1 mid-life onset dementia, 2 late-onset dementia). From this information, Niemann-Pick disease is an example of: A) variable expressivity B) incomplete dominance C) incomplete penetrance D) variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance E) multiple alleles
- An individual with 46, XX genotype is diagnosed with Duchenne-type Muscular Dystrophy, a recessive X-linked disorder. Genetic tests confirm that this individual is a heterozygote for this disorder. Briefly, but specifically, explain how it’s possible that they are showing symptoms of this disorder.You are discussing the genetic pedigree of a client with a history of autosomal dominant disease in his family. You explain that while a recessive mutation requires both copies of the gene to be mutated in order to cause clinical disease, an autosomal dominant mutation can cause disease when only one copy of the gene is affected. Describe the different mechanisms by which dominance occurs, giving examples of each.Neurofibromatosis-1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder where tumours form in the base layer of the skin or in nerve tissues. What is the probability that individuals II-1 and II-2 will have a genetic son with NF1? Find the image attached.
- Hemophilia A is caused by a recessive X-linked allele that encodes a defective form of a clotting protein. If a affected father and a mother who is known to not be a carrier have children, what percentage of female offspring will have hemophilia?A genetic counsellor is working with a couple who have just had a child who has a debilitating autosomal recessive form of a disease termed epidemolysis bullosa (which causes severe external and internal skin fragility resulting in blistering etc). Neither parent has epidemolysis bullosa, nor does anyone in their families. What should the counsellor say to this couple? OA. "Because no one in either of your families has epidemolysis bullosa, you are not likely to have another baby with epidemolysis bullosa. You can safely have another child." OB. "Because you have had one child with epidemolysis bullosa, you must each carry the allele. Any child you have has a 50% chance of having the disease." OC. "Because you have had one child with epidemolysis bullosa, you must each carry the allele. Any child you have has a 25% chance of having the disease." OD. "Because you have had one child with epidemolysis bullosa, you must both carry the allele. However, since the chance of having an affected…A couple is planning a family, but since each has a brother having the sickle-cell disorder, they are worried that their kids might develop the disorder too. Neither of them nor their respective parents have the disorder. Which of the following will be your smartest advice as a genetic counsellor? One of four of their children can be expected to have sickle cell. It is possible that none of their kids will have the disorder, but tests should be carried out on both of them to confirm. All of their children will have sickle-cell disorder. There is no chance of any of their kids having sickle cell.
