Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 25P
The following figure shows a partial microarray analysis for members of a nuclear family. The eight SNP loci examined are evenly spaced at about 10 Mb intervals on chromosome 4, and they are shown on the microarray in their actual order on this chromosome. For the time being, focus your attention only on the two parents and ignore whether they are affected or unaffected.
| a. | Write out the complete genotype for all the DNA markers in both parents. |
| b. | The microarray data indicate that one SNP locus has three alleles in this family. Which one? |
| c. | How would you know that these loci are in fact on chromosome 4 and are about 10 Mb apart? |
| d. | About what percentage of the total length of chromosome 4 is present in the region between DNA markers 1 and 8? (Chromosome 4 is 191 Mb long; it is the fourth largest in the human genome.) |

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth.
Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
