Question
Hemophilia is an X linked recessive condition. A
woman has a brother who is hemophiliac and
while she does not have the condition she has a
brother who has the condition. Hemophilia is due
to a mutation in a clotting factor. The exon intron
structure of a clotting factor gene is shown below.
Exons are blue rectangles.
You analyze the DNA of the woman and her
brother by PCR using primers which bind to the
left and right of exon 4. The results of the gel of
the PCR products are shown below. The negative
end of the gel is at the top, the positive is at the
bottom. Based on these results, what kind of
mutation does the brother have?
Exon 1
Woman
The brother is missing part or all of exon 4
The brother has a single nucleotide change in exon 4
The brother has an additional exon
