Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
Hereditary Haemachromatosis involves excessive iron absorption
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
Why is HH dangerous?
Respuesta
  • Iron builds up in tissues
  • Iron damages blood vessels
  • Iron is poisonous

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
How is HH inherited?
Respuesta
  • Autosomal dominant
  • X linked recessive
  • Autosomal recessive

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
HH is an example of a founder mutation
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
pC282Y and pH36D can cause HH in what forms?
Respuesta
  • As heterozygotes
  • As homozygotes
  • As compound heterozygotes

Pregunta 6

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

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
Which exon contains the p.C282Y mutation?
Respuesta
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
How can we amplify the area around the suspected mutation?
Respuesta
  • PCR
  • Using specific primers

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
Fluorescent based DNA sequencing is used to ascertain the exact sequence
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
Dideoxysequencing relies on what?
Respuesta
  • Chain terminating nucleotides
  • Chain bending nucleotides
  • Chain mutating nucleotides

Pregunta 11

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

Pregunta 12

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

Pregunta 13

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

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
How are chromosomal level variations tested?
Respuesta
  • Karyotyping
  • Using SNP's

Pregunta 15

Pregunta
The 'Standard FISH' is the 'hybridisation of multiple chromosome specific probes
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 16

Pregunta
FISHing can be used to detect DiGeorge syndrome
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 17

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

Pregunta 18

Pregunta
Why is the end of the telomere looked for in Dual Probe FISHing?
Respuesta
  • 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

Pregunta 19

Pregunta
FISHing can be used for testing chromosome rearrangement
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 20

Pregunta
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?
Respuesta
  • Two red, two green
  • One red, one green, two yellow
  • Four red

Pregunta 21

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

Pregunta 22

Pregunta
How does Array Comparitive Genomic Hybridisation work?
Respuesta
  • 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

Pregunta 23

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

Pregunta 24

Pregunta
Testing for CNV's will occur before testing for mutations
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 25

Pregunta
When exon sequencing, first amplify your exons
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 26

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

Pregunta 27

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