Summary Introduction

To review:

The diet group having highest LDL (low-density lipoprotein) to HDL (high-density lipoprotein) ratio. The results of the study are shown in the table given below:

Effect of Diet on Lipoprotein levels (mg/dL or milligram per deciliter)
cis Fatty acids Trans Fatty acids Saturated Fats Optimal level
LDL 103 117 121 <100
HDL 55 48 55 >40
LDL-to-HDL ratio 1.87 2.43 2.2 <2

Introduction:

Lipoproteins are made up of proteins and lipids. These molecules help in the transportation of lipids (mainly cholesterol) in the blood or extracellular fluid. The phospholipids are present on the exterior while other lipids lie in the interior. Phospholipids are oriented in such a way that the hydrophilic part is on the outer side while the hydrophobic part is on the inner side.

On basis of density, lipoproteins are classified as Ultra Low-Density Lipoproteins (ULDL), Intermediate Density Lipoproteins (IDL), Very Low-Density Lipoproteins (VLDL), LDL, and HDL. The LDL and HDL are of clinical importance and are classified as bad cholesterol and good cholesterol, respectively.

Svp je voulais demander l aide pour mon exercice
Imagine that you are a clinical geneticist. Your colleague is an oncologist who wants your help explaining the basics of genetics to their patient, who will be undergoing genetic testing in the coming weeks for possible acute myeloid leukemia (AML) induced by the radiation she had several years ago for breast cancer. Write a 1,050- to 1,225-word memo to your colleague. Include the following in your memo: An explanation of the molecular structure of DNA and RNA, highlighting both similarities and differences  A description of the processes of transcription and translation An explanation of the differences between leading and lagging strands and how the DNA is replicated in each strand Reponses to the following common questions patients might ask about this type of genetic testing and genetic disorder: Does AML run in families? What genes are tested for?
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: What are some potential consequences that could result if the processes of replication, transcription, and translation don’t function correctly? Provide an example of how you might explain these consequences in terms that patients might understand.
