Hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC) is a condition characterized by an increase in the levels of phosphate in the blood (hyperphosphatemia) and abnormal deposits of phosphate and calcium (calcinosis) in the body's tissues. Research has described many causes for the condition that results in different patterns of inheritance. Here is what we know of the family members: (no other information is provided) II II IV V VI A) Based on the information presented, what is the most likely mode of inheritance? In own words, explain your reasoning. your B) What are the chances that V-6 and V-7 have an afflicted child? C) What are the chances that VI-9 and VI-10 have a HFTC afflicted child?
