Frage 1

Frage
Hereditary Haemachromatosis involves excessive iron absorption
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 2

Frage
Why is HH dangerous?
Antworten
  • Iron builds up in tissues
  • Iron damages blood vessels
  • Iron is poisonous

Frage 3

Frage
How is HH inherited?
Antworten
  • Autosomal dominant
  • X linked recessive
  • Autosomal recessive

Frage 4

Frage
HH is an example of a founder mutation
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 5

Frage
pC282Y and pH36D can cause HH in what forms?
Antworten
  • As heterozygotes
  • As homozygotes
  • As compound heterozygotes

Frage 6

Frage
What is the test for HH?
Antworten
  • Ferratin levels in the blood
  • Iron absorption by gut
  • Free blood iron level

Frage 7

Frage
Which exon contains the p.C282Y mutation?
Antworten
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5

Frage 8

Frage
How can we amplify the area around the suspected mutation?
Antworten
  • PCR
  • Using specific primers

Frage 9

Frage
Fluorescent based DNA sequencing is used to ascertain the exact sequence
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 10

Frage
Dideoxysequencing relies on what?
Antworten
  • Chain terminating nucleotides
  • Chain bending nucleotides
  • Chain mutating nucleotides

Frage 11

Frage
Fluorophores of different wavelengths are used to differentiate the four chain terminating bases
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 12

Frage
After the amplification, how do we separate the product?
Antworten
  • By size on a gel
  • By size on a not gel

Frage 13

Frage
A laser scanner reads the different flurophores as the produces come in, from which it can form a sequence
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 14

Frage
How are chromosomal level variations tested?
Antworten
  • Karyotyping
  • Using SNP's

Frage 15

Frage
The 'Standard FISH' is the 'hybridisation of multiple chromosome specific probes
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 16

Frage
FISHing can be used to detect DiGeorge syndrome
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 17

Frage
What do the probes in FISHing usually look for
Antworten
  • Smallest area of overlap between possible deletions
  • Largest area of overlap between possible deletions
  • The ends of telomeres

Frage 18

Frage
Why is the end of the telomere looked for in Dual Probe FISHing?
Antworten
  • To ensure there's a correct no of each chromosome
  • So if there's no binding to smallest area of overlap, it's not because the chromosome itself is missing
  • To ensure the chromosome is the correct shape

Frage 19

Frage
FISHing can be used for testing chromosome rearrangement
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 20

Frage
In a BCR-ABL related cancer, (assuming you were using a Red probe for the BCR gene and a green probe for the Abl gene) what would you see if you performed a FISH test?
Antworten
  • Two red, two green
  • One red, one green, two yellow
  • Four red

Frage 21

Frage
In the case of novel clinical pathologies, you scan the entire genome for CNV's
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 22

Frage
How does Array Comparitive Genomic Hybridisation work?
Antworten
  • Create an array (slide/multiple tubes of liquid samples) of probes
  • Probes designed to overlap all along the genome (as many base pairs apart as necessary depending on specificity)
  • These probes should hybrdise to tested DNA
  • The level of hybridisation of each probe can be used to determine deviations from norm

Frage 23

Frage
Assuming the highest band shows the wild type signal, what type of mutation has occurred here?
Antworten
  • Deletion
  • Insertion
  • Duplication

Frage 24

Frage
Testing for CNV's will occur before testing for mutations
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 25

Frage
When exon sequencing, first amplify your exons
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 26

Frage
What is the problem with Next generation sequencing?
Antworten
  • It generates masses of information
  • It generates sequences at random
  • It's difficult to tell which mutations are pathogenic

Frage 27

Frage
Assuming a person has a wide number of mutations (most people do) what do you discount?
Antworten
  • SNP's common in the population
  • Synonymous variants
  • Heterozygous variants
