The following:
(a) Neutral Polymorphism.
(b) The significance of the table in the context of examining a family or population for BRCA1 that predispose an individual to cancer.
(c) PM2 polymorphism results in a neutral missense mutation or a silent mutation.
(d) PM3 polymorphism results in a neutral missense mutation or a silent mutation.
Introduction:
Polymorphism occurs when locus of a gene is occupied by two or more alleles within a population. Types of polymorphisms are protein/enzyme polymorphisms and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) polymorphisms. DNA polymorphism is further segregated into neutral polymorphisms like Single

She recently returned from a trip to sub-Saharan Africa, where she did not take malaria prophylaxis. On examination, she is febrile (39.8°C/103.6°F) and hypotensive. Laboratory studies reveal hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL, platelet count of 50,000/μL, and evidence of hemoglobinuria. A peripheral blood smear shows ring forms and banana-shaped gametocytes.
