Which ONE of these is TRUE regarding the aetiology of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL)?
Select one:
A.There is an increased incidence of ALL in children who attend nursery care early in life
B.The first mutation is thought to occur in utero in most cases of ALL diagnosed before age 5 years
C.There is no increased familial incidence
D.Almost all children who develop the TEL‐AML1 translocation go on to develop clinical ALL
Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism in humans. It is caused by a mutant allele of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene ( FGFR3) that produces an overactive protein. Having one copy of the mutant allele results in dwarfism. Two copies of the mutant allele results in death before birth.
If a man with Achondroplasia marries a woman who is Sickle Cell Anemia carrier and they have a child together, what is the probability that their child will Achondroplasia AND be a Sickle Cell Anemia carrier?

- Match the following terms with their correct definitions. A change in a gene that causes it to produce no protein. A loss-of-funtion in one allele that is uominant because the wild type allele alone does not produce enough protein to serve its typical role. 1. Loss-of-function mutation 2. Null mutation 3. Gain-of-function mutation A change in a gene that causes it to produce less protein or protein that is not able to serve its typical role. 4. Haploinsufficiency A change in a gene that causes it to produce increased protein or protein that takes on a new role.arrow_forwardAngelica just learned that her paternal uncle, Aaron, passed away from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (autosomal dominant). Angelica’s father was killed in a duty as a young man, and therefore, his status is unknown.

- What is the frequency of sickle cell disease (anemia)? https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/sickle-cell-disease#inheritance https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/sicklecell/traits.htmlarrow_forwardHuntington disease (HD) is a genetic disorder that usually first appears in middle age and, over time, leads to involuntary movements, impaired speech, difficulty swallowing and speaking, and cognitive decline. There is no cure for HD, and affected individuals eventually die, usually after 10 to 15 years of progressively worsening symptoms. Huntington disease is inherited as an autosomal dominant disorder. Presymptomatic genetic testing for HD is available for people with a family history of the disease. Individuals who have a parent with HD have a 50% chance of inheriting the HD gene and eventually having HD. Some of these individuals want to know if they will eventually get the disease, and they undergo presymptomatic genetic testing. Others do not want to know, given that there is no cure or effective treatment for the disease. If you were at risk for HD, would you want to undergo genetic testing? What are some reasons for and against having a genetic test for HD?arrow_forwardHereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. This excess iron is stored in the body's tissues and organs, particularly the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, and joints. Because humans cannot increase the excretion of iron, excess iron can overload and eventually damage tissues and organs. Anthony and Melinda met at a support group for individuals who have hereditary hemochromatosis. They were advised by their genetic counselor that it would be risky to have children, since both of them are homozygous for the same recessive allele that causes this condition. Nevertheless, they decided to have a child together. During Melinda’s pregnancy, amniocentesis and genetic testing were performed, and it was confirmed the fetus was homozygous for the hereditary hemochromatosis allele. At birth, the baby appeared completely normal, and as the child continued to grow and mature, the couple were surprised that he seemed…arrow_forward
- In order to reduce the social and economic burden, therapeutic methods to ND, such as AD and PD, should be developed [1]. Since the presence and aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins, Aβ, tau, and α-Syn, could be major causes of the onset and progression of AD and PD [2], it is necessary to control the production, aggregation, and degrading process of the proteins to care the diseases. Based on the published reports we summarized above, regulating the activity/expression of ADE by short peptide and/or chemical agents could be a promising strategy to treat AD and PD; modulation of the expression and/or activity of NEP, IDE, AEP, and ADAM10 presented the clearance of amyloid deposits and improvement of cognitive deficits in vivo. The negative effect caused by inducing the activity of ADE could occur; however, the clearance of amyloidogenic proteins may result in a relatively good way to care AD and PD. In addition, it is essential to consider multiple risk factors due to the causes of…arrow_forwardIn order to reduce the social and economic burden, therapeutic methods to ND, such as AD and PD, should be developed [1].
