1. You are a scientist studying a rare heritable disease, Pitt-Hopkins syndrome. This disease is caused by mutations in the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, TCF4. You sequence the TCF4 gene in your patients and identify several sequence variants. a) The TCF4 coding region and sites of mutations for several patients are shown here (lines between codons indicate the open reading frame). For each patient, identify the impact of the mutation on the coding sequence (1 mark each) and the likely...

6. A researcher studying a Parkinson-like disease in an isolated
population discovered that several individuals who developed
symptoms at an average age of 52.3 years have a D2S44 allele (R)
that is common in this population but not found outside of the
population. A study of members of the population and members of a
similar population that does have the allele (+) was done and the
numbers of individuals with Parkinson-like symptoms were recorded
(Table).
a. Is there an association...
You are studying a disease that is known to be caused by a single nucleotide change...
You are studying a disease that is known to be caused by a single nucleotide change in a single gene, although the effect this change ultimately has on the protein's structure and function is unknown. You have DNA samples from multiple patients that you suspect of having this disease. What is the most efficient way to test the samples for the relevant mutation? Select one: a. PCR amplification followed by Sanger DNA sequencing b. PCR amplification followed by gel electrophoresis...

2. A rare disease affects 1% of the population. A test has a sensitivity of 98%, i.e., it will give a positive result 98% of the time that a person actually has the disease. The same test also has a specificity of 95%, i.e., it will give a negative result 95% of the time when a person does not have the disease. Denote the event that a randomly person has a disease by D, and the event that a randomly...

You are an epidemiologist who hypothesizes that the rare exposure of a living close to power lines by expectant mothers during pregnancy is a potential cause of premature birth, a relatively common pregnancy outcome. (Exposure = “close to power lines”; Outcome = “premature birth”). A _____ design would be best suited for this scenario, because _____. Question 8 options: A) A cohort study; it is suited to rare exposures, short periods of follow-up and common outcomes B) A case-control study;...
