When she was old enough to attend school, she beganhaving fainting spells, especially when she became excited. Her parents took herto a neurologist, who checked Connie's heart and diagnosed long-QT syndromewith deafness also called Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome. This is a severeform of inherited heartbeat irregularity that can be fatal. Seven different genes cancause long-QT syndrome. The Winslows visited a medical geneticist, whodiscovered that each had a mild heartbeat irregularity that did not producesymptoms. Connie's parents had normal hearing. Connie's younger brother Jimwas also hearing-impaired and suffered night terrors, but had so far not faintedduring the day. Like Connie, he had the full syndrome. Tina, still a baby, was alsotested, She did not have either form of the family's illness; her heartbeat wasnormal.

4. Marfan syndrome is a genetic trait caused by in a dominant allele. The trait causes a weakening of the aorta that can be fatal. A teenager whose mother has the syndrome (but whose maternal grandfather was not affected), and whose father was unaffected, is concerend that she may have the trait. a. What is the phenotype of each of her parents? Genotype? b. What is the chance that the teenager has Marfan syndrome?
Discuss Concepts Many human diseases are caused by recessive alleles that are not expressed in heterozygotes. Some people think that eugenicsthe selective breeding of humans to eliminate undesirable genetic traitsprovides a way for us to rid our populations of such harmful alleles. Explain why eugenics cannot eliminate such genetic traits from human populations.
1. Why doesn't having a gene variant associated with a particular illness or disorder guarantee a person will develop the condition?
1. Suppose you identify a new gene in mice. One of its alleles specifies white fur, another specifies brown. You want to see if these alleles are inherited in a Mendelian pattern, or with incomplete dominance. What crosses would give you the answer? Explain. 2. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an example of a complex genetic disorder caused by a single mutation. Read section 13.1 Menacing Mucus in your text, and explain the cause and symptoms of CF and justify it as an example of pleiotropy.
2. A husband and wife both have normal skin pigmentation. Their first child is albino. Give the genotypes of the parents and of the albino child. Give the genotypes of the parents and of the albino child.

2. Imagine that you are in your late 30s or early 40s and decide that you want a child. You realize that you’re at greater risk of having a child with Down’s Syndrome. What sorts of genetic screening are available today? If you find out that this child has this condition, do you think it’s appropriate to have an abortion? Why or why not? Question: Does elective abortion of fetuses with physical or other developmental disabilities have an effect on the perception of personhood, dignity, and rights in society? Explain.
1. The first genetic test used a short DNA sequence that was closely linked to the Huntington’s locus. People taking the test were classified as to whether they had the DNA sequence that was linked to the Huntington’s disease. This method was 95% accurate. This means that 95% of the people who had the Huntington’s-linked DNA sequence actually inherited the Huntington allele. It also meant that 95% of the people who did not have the DNA sequence linked to the Huntington allele did not inherited the wild-type allele (not the Huntington allele).Why might this preliminary test not be as accurate as a gene test for the actual Huntington’s allele? Explain.
2) On the soap opera “The Young and the Restless”, several individuals suffer from a rapid aging syndrome in which a young child is sent off to boarding school and returns three months later an angry teenager. Victims have been known to age up to two decades in variations of the disorder. In the Newman family, siblings Nicholas and Victoria aged from ages six and eight to sixteen and eighteen within a few months. Their parents, Victor and Nikki, are not affected; in fact, they never seem to age at all. A. What is the mode of inheritance of the rapid aging disorder affecting Nicholas and Victoria? B. Explain your reasoning:
1) using at least one named example discuss the implication of allelic heterogeneity in single gene disorder for the presentation and progession of the disorder and its treatment 2) discuss the importance of understanding epigenetics in improving people health

(two to three sentences) (Think about why various mutations in different genes cause different illnesses.)2. What can family history teach you about a patient's muscular dystrophy inheritance and, hence, genetic basis? (two to three sentences)3. The X-chromosome contains the mutation that causes Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Explains how this impacts DMD inheritance and why DMD patients are disproportionately male. (two to three sentences)
8. Huntington’s disease is a degenerative disease of the nervous system that strikes in middle age. The allele that causes the disease (H) is dominant to the allele that results in the normal condition (h). Answer the following questions about the inheritance of this disease. A. What is the genotype of a man who is normal but whose father had Huntington’s disease? B. What is the genotype of a woman who has Huntington’s disease if both of her parents had Huntington’s disease? C. If a man who is heterozygous for Huntington’s disease marries a woman who is normal, what would you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children? D. If a normal man marries a woman who is homozygous for Huntington’s disease, what do you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children?
