Pregunta 7
Pregunta
Next generation sequencing of genes has an advantage over sanger (conventional) sequencing because ...
Respuesta
-
It allows sequencing of a much larger number of genes
-
It is able to pick up mutations while discarding polymorphisms
-
It samples a smaller number of genes, however is up to 4 times more accurate
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
Array comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH) is preferable to karyotyping as a first test for chromosomal analysis because it has a higher resolution
Respuesta
- True
- False
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
A 64 year old man has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy due to an IIe345X (stop) mutation in the MYBPC3 gene. His 32 y/o son is healthy and has a normal heart scan but is shown to carry the same mutation. What is the most likely genetic explanation for the normal scan in his son?
Respuesta
-
The mutation has variable penetrance
-
The mutation has absolute penetrance
-
The mutation has relative penetrance

Respuesta
-
The mutation is present in the child but not the parents
-
The mutation is present in both the child and the parents
-
The mutation is present on both X chromosomes
-
Mother's sister has a daughter with severe learning difficulties
