- GENETICS QUESTION!! Imagine that you are a geneticist at a hospital and you are given a file for a patient whose family has a history of cancer. The patient, John Doe, is 18 years old and has had a biopsy done on a tumorous growth in his adrenal gland. He has a sister, Jane, and a brother, Bob, who are younger than he is and who are both healthy. His mother, Betty, has a diagnosis of breast cancer. John’s father, Joe, and John’s paternal grandparents have no history of cancer. Betty is one of four children. Her brother, Tom, and sister, Lucy, have never had cancer or signs of cancer. Both Tom and Lucy are older than Betty. Betty had another brother, Jake, who died very young of leukaemia. Tom has monozygotic twin daughters who are healthy.
