- The following family has a history of inherited breast cancer. Betty (grandmother) does not carry the gene. Don, her husband, does. Dons mother and sister had breast cancer. One of Betty and Dons daughters (Sarah) has breast cancer; the other (Karen) does not. Sarahs daughters are in their 30s. Dawn, 33, has breast cancer; Debbie, 31, does not. Debbie is wondering if she will get the disease because she looks like her mother. Dawn is wondering if her 2-year-old daughter (Nicole) will get the disease. a. Draw a pedigree indicating affected individuals and identify all individuals. b. What is the most likely mode of inheritance of this trait? c. What are Dons genotype and phenotype? d. What is the genotype of the unaffected women (Betty and Karen)? e. A genetic marker has been found that maps very close to the gene. Given the following marker data for chromosomes 4 and 17, which chromosome does this gene map to? f. Using the same genetic marker, Debbie and Nicole were tested. The results are shown in the following figure. Based on their genotypes, is either of them at increased risk for breast cancer?Would ISCI be an option? Why or why not? Jan, a 32-year-old woman, and her husband, Darryl, have been married for 7 years. They have attempted to have a baby on several occasions. Five years ago, they had a first-trimester miscarriage, followed by an ectopic pregnancy later the same year. Jan continued to see her OB/GYN physician for infertility problems but was very dissatisfied with the response. After four miscarriages, she went to see a fertility specialist, who diagnosed her with severe endometriosis and polycystic ovarian disease (detected by hormone studies). The infertility physician explained that these two conditions were hampering her ability to become pregnant and thus making her infertile. She referred Jan to a genetic counselor. At the appointment, the counselor explained to Jan that one form of endometriosis (MIM 131200) can be a genetic disorder, and that polycystic ovarian disease can also be a genetic disorder (MIM 184700) and is one of the most common reproductive disorders among women. The counselor recommended that a detailed family history of both Jan and Darryl would help establish whether Jans problems have a genetic component and whether any of her potential daughters would be at risk for one or both of these disorders. In the meantime, Jan is taking hormones, and she and Darryl are considering alternative modes of reproduction. Using the information in Figure 16.4, explain the reproductive options that are open to Jan and Darryl.Each one of the different contraceptive methods has its pros and cons. Give an example of a method listed below and cite the pros and cons behind its use. Method of Contraception Example Pros Cons Natural Hormonal Barrier Permanent The debate on contraception is based on arguments emerging from the traditional and bioethical positions on contraception. Evaluate whether those positions are philosophically or ethically viable. Make a stand regarding the issue on the basis of your personal beliefs and convictions.
