Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: Whether the individual sequencing that identifies mutation associated with Alzheimer’s is a prognostic test or diagnostic test.
Introduction: Gene tests are utilized for adult, childhood, and prenatal prognosis and diagnosis of genetic diseases.
(b)
To determine: Whether the ASO testing that identifies the carrier of mutant β-globin allele is a prognostic test or diagnostic test.
Introduction: ASO (allele-specific oligonucleotide) is single-stranded DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) designed to hybridize to the complementary specific allele in genome.
(c)
To determine: Whether the DNA sequencing of tumor that reveals BRCA1 gene mutation is a prognostic test or diagnostic.
Introduction: Genomics applies DNA sequencing methods, recombinant DNA, and bioinformatics to assemble, sequence, and analyze genomes.
(d)
To determine: Whether genetic testing in a healthy teenager that identifies SNP associated with autism is a prognostic test or diagnostic.
Introduction: Most genetic differences between human beings result from SNPs (single
(e)
To determine: Whether a genetic test in an adult with Asperger syndrome that reveals an SNP in GABRB3 gene is a prognostic test or a diagnostic.
Introduction: SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) refers to a variation in single nucleotide pair, as detected during genomic analysis.

- Which of the following best describes why it is difficult to develop antiviral drugs? Explain why. A. antiviral drugs are very difficult to develop andhave no side effects B. viruses are difficult to target because they usethe host cell’s enzymes and ribosomes tometabolize and replicate C. viruses are too small to be targeted by drugs D. viral infections usually clear up on their ownwith no problemsarrow_forwardThis question has 3 parts (A, B, & C), and is under the subject of Nutrition.
