Frage 1

Frage
Linkage mapping- determining the distance between & order of genes
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 2

Frage
Genetic maps are measured in bp, physical maps in cM
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 3

Frage
Linkage _ reflects gene proximity
Antworten
  • Directly
  • Indirectly
  • Loosely

Frage 4

Frage
Genes on different chromosomes link dependently
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 5

Frage
What are the two definitions of haplotype?
Antworten
  • A set of genes on the same chromosome
  • The genes contained in two homologous chromosomes
  • A set of genetic determinants

Frage 6

Frage
What does this symbolise?
Antworten
  • The recombination frequency
  • The location of the SNP marker
  • The first infected generation

Frage 7

Frage
Name two resons why large families are required for linkage studies in humans (for an accurate result)
Antworten
  • Human families are small
  • Humans cannot be bred just to investigate phenotypes
  • Human genes are highly conserved
  • Human gene markers are rare

Frage 8

Frage
If 15% of meioses in a study show crossover, what is the recombination frequency?
Antworten
  • 15%
  • 30%
  • 85%

Frage 9

Frage
Loci with a recombination factor of 50% have the same chance of being separated as loci on different chromosomes
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 10

Frage
Name the two steps required for functional mapping
Antworten
  • Find what haplotype those with the mutations share
  • Find what markers those with the mutations share
  • Look for markers close to it
  • Look for genes close to it

Frage 11

Frage
What is the 'Critical Region'
Antworten
  • There area containing the mutated gene
  • The area containing the related marker

Frage 12

Frage
A, B, C & D are all markers. B and C are found in homozygous form in people with autosomal recessive deafness. Where is the critical regions for genes causing this deafness?
Antworten
  • Between B & C
  • Between A & D
  • Between B & D
  • Between A & C

Frage 13

Frage
Assuming a person is heterozygous, what do we need to know once markers for the alleles have been identified?
Antworten
  • Which marker is segregated with which allele i.e A1D A2d, or A1d A2D
  • Which allele is diseased i.e. D or d
  • Which marker has bonded correctly

Frage 14

Frage
What is the difference between phase known and phase unknown?
Antworten
  • In phase known, we know which allele contains the diease
  • In phase known, we have the genotype of the grandparents
  • In phase known, we don't know how many recombinants there are

Frage 15

Frage
Fewer recombinants mean the hypothesis is more likely
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 16

Frage
Assume 12% of people are recombinants - how many cM are the genes?
Antworten
  • 24cM
  • 12cM
  • 88cM

Frage 17

Frage
Name 3 things that can affect the recombination process
Antworten
  • Crossover hotspots
  • Crossovers are common near centromeres
  • Crossovers are rarer near centromeres
  • Oocytes crossover more frequently than sperm
  • Sperm crossover more frequently than oocytes

Frage 18

Frage
LOD - Log of the Odds Ratio
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 19

Frage
When using LOD, what are the two hypothesis?
Antworten
  • There is a given (previously calculated) linkage frequency
  • There is null (50% or more) linkage frequency

Frage 20

Frage
Assuming 6 recombinants out of 10 children what is the equation for the statistical likelihood of 6 recombinents?
Antworten
  • [(1-θ)^6] x θ
  • [(1+θ)/6] x θ
  • [6 x θ] x θ

Frage 21

Frage
The equation for NO linkage = [(1-θ)^no of children in study]
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 22

Frage
A = Liklihood of linkage B = Liklihood of no linkage What is the LOD full equation?
Antworten
  • Log10 (A/B)
  • Log10 (B/A)
  • Log10 (A-B)
  • Log10 (A x B)

Frage 23

Frage
-2 is considered significant, 3 is considered no linkage
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 24

Frage
It is thought that 4 of 13 children are recombinants- calculate the LOD and see if this is significant
Antworten
  • Yes
  • No

Frage 25

Frage
LOD scores are not additive
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 26

Frage
Linkage analysis in complex disorders is much more difficult
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 27

Frage
The first step of mapping complex disease genes is demonstrating how important the genes are on heritability
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 28

Frage
How do you gain estimates of heritability in complex disorders?
Antworten
  • Look at mono/dizygotic twins
  • Look at siblings
  • Look at familial generations

Frage 29

Frage
Why is linkage analysis so much more difficult with complex disorders?
Antworten
  • We don't know penetrance
  • We don't know how many genes are involved
  • We don't know the relative effect of each gene

Frage 30

Frage
Non-parametric linkage analysis typically uses what?
Antworten
  • Affected twins
  • Affected sibling pairs
  • Affected spouses

Frage 31

Frage
What is true of NPL?
Antworten
  • No assumptions of no of loci/environmental role
  • Not concerned about penetrence
  • Assumed diseased individuals have alleles in common

Frage 32

Frage
This image shows two siblings that are...?
Antworten
  • Identical by state
  • Identical by descent

Frage 33

Frage
The two siblings possess alleles that are...
Antworten
  • Identical by state
  • Identical by descent

Frage 34

Frage
What is used in Non-Parametric Linkage Analysis to indicate linkage?
Antworten
  • Deviation from normal ratios of sibling inheritence
  • Deviation for normal ratio's of phenotype expression
  • Deviation from normal allelic ratios

Antworten
  • True
  • False
