Chapter E, Problem 13P

Look over the 10 diseases approved for genetic health risk assessment listed in Application Chapter B. Select one disease other than the three discussed in Application Chapter B or in this chapter ( alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, late onset Alzheimer disease, and celiac disease) or another of the diseases of your choice. Do a brief Internet search to find and download ( 1 ) one article for a nonscientific audience identifying the gene or genes whose alleles are associated with occurrence of the disease and ( 2 ) one scientific paper that provides data supporting the association of specific alleles of the gene or genes with the disease. Write a short summary combining the information contained in the two papers.

Manufacturers of self-contained test kits apply for and receive Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for their particular test to be on the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment (CLIA) waived list. To find out if your particular brand of self-contained test kit is on the CLIA waived list, access an up-to-date listing at the FDA website(https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfclia/analyteswaived.cfm (Links to an external site.)) and use the key search term “Currently Waived Analytes” (be forewarned, though, that the list is very long) (Cited from Chap. 37). Research the link to the FDA to find your kit name on the list. Discuss the following questions: Why would it be important to have this kit listed here? Can a POL use kits that are not listed?
