To determine: The ways the clinicians can respect the brother’s desire not to know whether he is suffering from DKC or not and can not be a suitable donor for her sister.
Introduction: Dyskeratosiscongenita (DKC) is is a rare human genetic disorder that occurs due to the mutation in the telomerase gene. DKC disease may lead to bone marrow failure resulting in reducingthe production of blood cells and anemia.
To determine: The reason that clinicians tell the sister about her brother condition of DKC.
Introduction: A 27-year-old woman is diagnosed with a dominant form of DKC and needs a bone marrow transplant to treat the disorder. A 13-year-old brother was identified as the best immunologically matched donor for her sister

- Can you please check my answer and see if it is correct. Question: In addition to master mix, what else must be added to each PCR tube? Why? Answer: In addition to master mix, the primers must be added to the PCR tubes. Each tube is also reserved for one individual’s specific section of DNA. So not only do primers needed to be added that are made specifically for the person’s DNA, but the DNA itself from the suspect needs to be added to the PCR tubes (DNA template strand). We also must have a control which contains sterile water, and one PCR tube reserved for DNA from the crime scene.arrow_forwardPlease help me identify the 3' and 5' ends of the DNA segment AGTCAT.

The following mother wanted to confirm to her husband that the two children were actually his genetic children. She decided to have a paternity test done. The test was performed by first collecting cheek cell samples from each children, the mother and the father in question. The researcher isolated the DNA and performed RFLP with two different probes.

Thank you very much.arrow_forwarda) Sam wants to alter his interrupted mating experiment by placing a filter in between the donor and the recipient cells in order to separate the two. Is Sam’s suggestion for this modification to the procedure utilized in interrupted mating experiments valid? Explain. b) Much to the dismay of the researcher with whom Sam is working, Sam is not only forgetful, but he is also lazy! Rather than devoting the necessary hours to conducting his assigned interrupted mating experiments, Sam has decided that his time would be better spent modifying the F plasmid so that the experiments wouldn’t require quite so much time. The diagram below shows a map of the E. coli F plasmid, similar to that shown in lecture. Sam is determined to “get rid of some of the excess DNA” present in the plasmid. Please keep in mind that the PI in the lab in which Sam works utilizes these F plasmids for interrupted mating experiments between Hfr and F- cells as well as for interrupted mating experiments involving F+…arrow_forward
