A rare mutation on the X chromosome is associated with T- and natural killer-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. To what extent would the two-hit theory apply to this disease?
Homework Answers
Question
The two hit hypothesis of the lymphoproliferative disorder state that a combination of the T cell non-functioning along with natural killer cells non-functioning lead to the weakened immune system in an individual which further lead to the lymphoproliferative disorder. It means two causes summation lead to the formation of this disorder.

2. Tay-Sachs disease is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation on chromosome 15 that is believed to occur in roughly 1 in 320000 babies in the U.S. As part of a cutting-edge genomics company, you've designed a new test for Tay-Sachs that is 99.2% accurate (ie, gives a positive result) in those babies that have the disorder, and 97% accurate (i.e. gives a negative result) in babies that don't have the disorder. Suppose...

You are mapping a rare autosomal recessive disorder and linkage points towards a location on chromosome 7. To refine the location of the disease gene, you determine the genotype for 11 additional markers that map to an approximately 65 Mb region on the long arm of chromosome 7. Alleles for each of these markers are shown for one family. What type of markers are most likely shown? Why do you know this?

Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder of recessive X chromosome mutation of the Factor VIII gene that causes a blood clotting protein Factor VIII missing or deficient. If a person with XY chromosomes is affected by Hemophilia A and a person with XX chromosomes is an unaffected person, what is the probability that their male offspring might be hemophilic and what is the probability that their female offspring might be carriers of the mutated gene?

Assume no natural selection, equal mutation rates across sexes and different chromosome types (X,Y, autosomes). Would you expect X chromosomes and autosomes to have different levels of per site neutral variations within species? What about between species?

Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a rare X-linked recessive disorder that results in the absence of teeth, hair, and sweat glands. If the only recent case of this disease in a womans family is an affected brother, what is the probability that her two year old boy will also display symptoms of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia?
