Responda
  • Human families are small
  • Humans cannot be bred just to investigate phenotypes
  • Human genes are highly conserved
  • Human gene markers are rare

Questão 8

Responda
  • 15%
  • 30%
  • 85%

Questão 9

Questão

Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 10

Questão
Name the two steps required for functional mapping
Responda
  • 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

Questão 11

Questão
What is the 'Critical Region'
Responda
  • There area containing the mutated gene
  • The area containing the related marker

Questão 12

Questão
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?
Responda
  • Between B & C
  • Between A & D
  • Between B & D
  • Between A & C

Questão 13

Questão
Assuming a person is heterozygous, what do we need to know once markers for the alleles have been identified?
Responda
  • 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

Questão 14

Questão
What is the difference between phase known and phase unknown?
Responda
  • 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

Questão 15

Questão
Fewer recombinants mean the hypothesis is more likely
Responda

Responda
  • 24cM

Responda
  • Crossover hotspots
  • Crossovers are common near centromeres
  • Crossovers are rarer near centromeres
  • Oocytes crossover more frequently than sperm
  • Sperm crossover more frequently than oocytes

Questão 18

Questão
LOD - Log of the Odds Ratio
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 19

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

Questão 20

Questão

Responda
  • [(1-θ)^6] x θ
  • [(1+θ)/6] x θ
  • [6 x θ] x θ

Questão 21

Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 22

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

Questão 23

Questão
-2 is considered significant, 3 is considered no linkage
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 24

Questão

Responda
  • Yes
  • No

Questão
LOD scores are not additive
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 26

Questão
Linkage analysis in complex disorders is much more difficult
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 27

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

Questão 28

Questão
How do you gain estimates of heritability in complex disorders?
Responda
  • Look at mono/dizygotic twins
  • Look at siblings
