Summary Introduction
To determine: The information related to the location of the gene.
Introduction: Ichthyosis vulgaris is also known as hereditary ichthyosis vulgaris, which is a type of genetic disorder. The disorder is characterized by the presence of dry, scaly skin on the arms and legs. Also, it is a separate disease entity from the non-heritable situation known as acquired ichthyosis vulgaris comprising of different aetiology.

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 patient's mother exhibits none of these symptoms. What is the inheritance pattern of this patient's most likely disease?arrow_forward
- Daichi Yamada, 65 years old, immigrated to California to live with his son after the Fukushima tsunami and nuclear power plant disaster destroyed his community in 2011. Recently he began complaining of fatigue, left-side pain, abdominal fullness, and night sweats. His son scheduled a check-up for him, and a routine blood screening test showed elevated basophils and eosinophils. Bone marrow tests showed the Philadelphia chromosome by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), confirming rearrangement between chromosomes 9 and 22, which occurs in 95% of cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). He also had an enlarged spleen and liver. A diagnosis of CML was made and treatment with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib mesylate (Gleevec) began. Over the next 4–8 weeks Daichi’s bone marrow showed regrowth of normal stem-cell populations, and stable white blood cell proportions were restored. Which of the following genes are associated with the chromosomal translocation in CML? a.…arrow_forwardWhat is the best way to explain progeria on a DNA/chromosome level?arrow_forwarda) What is the chromosomal abnormality associated with Fragile-X Syndrome? b) What is the phenotype associated with this disorder? c) How is this trait inherited?arrow_forward
