Questão 4
Questão
A 25 year old African-American man is given anti-malarial prophylaxis for a trip to West Africa. Over the next week he develops increasing fatigue. On Physical exam there are no abnormal findings. Lab studies show a hematocrit of 30% and peripheral blood smear shows red blood cells with numerous Heinz bodies. There is a family history of this disorder, with males but not females, affected. What is the most likely diagnosis

None of the above
Questão 5
Questão
A 30 year old woman has felt a mass in her right breast for 6 months. On physical exam there is a 5 cm mass in the right breast and it is firm, non tender with lymphadenopathy. A fine needle aspiration is performed and cytologic exam shows carcinoma cells. Right mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection is performed and microscopic exam shows a poorly differentiated carcinoma that is negative for estrogen and progesterone receptors and negative for HER2/neu. One axillary node shows micrometastases. Her 32 year old sister is found to have a similar lesion. Which is the following is the most likely risk factor for this woman's breast cancer?
Responda
-
BRCA 1 mutation
-
loss of p53
-
Both of the above
-
none of the above
Questão 6
Questão
All of the following about Hereditary hemochromatosis are correct except
Responda
-
Autosomal recessive with reduced penetrance
-
HFE mutation
-
90-95% of patients are homozygous for a Cys282Tyr mutaion
-
Mutant HFE interferes with hepcidin signaling resulting in stimulation of enterocytes and macrophages to release iron
-
Hepcidin is synthesized in liver and released to block further iron absorption when iron supplies are adequate
-
Males are protected against this condition

Cystic fibrosis
-
Hereditary hemochromatosis
-
None of the above
Questão 8

Responda
-
Both Hemophilia A and B are X-linked recessive
-
Factor 9 - Most common mutation is an inversion deleting the carboxyl terminus of factor 9
-
Factor 9 - severe hemophilia during childhood that spontaneously resolves at puberty as factor 9 levels nearly normalize
-
Therapy is replacement of the factor that is deficient
Questão 9
Questão
All of the following regarding HPNCC are true except

Mutation in MLH1, MSH2) DNA mismatch repair gene mutation
-
Microsatellite instability occurs in 15-20% of HNPCC tumors
-
Microsatellite instability induced frame shift mutations in the transforming growth factor receptor II gene (TGFBetaR2)
Questão 10
Questão
All of the following are true regarding NIDDM except?
Responda
-
Multifactorial inheritance
-
TCF7L2 significantly associated with NIDDM in Icelandic population and Pro12Ala mutation in PPARG in Finnish and Mexican Americans
-
More prone to develop ketoacidosis
-
HbA1c > 6.5% is more important that the actual glucose levels
Questão 11
Questão
A 57 year old man is found comatose. On exam he has decreased skin turgor. Lab studies show a blood glucose of 780 mg/dl. Urinalysis reveals no ketosis or proteinuria, but there is 4+ glucosuria. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Responda
-
IDDM
-
NIDDM
-
Combination of both because of hyperglycemia
