(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the individual sequencing that identifies mutation associated with Alzheimer’s is a prognostic test or diagnostic test.

Introduction: Gene tests are utilized for adult, childhood, and prenatal prognosis and diagnosis of genetic diseases.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the ASO testing that identifies the carrier of mutant β-globin allele is a prognostic test or diagnostic test.

Introduction: ASO (allele-specific oligonucleotide) is single-stranded DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) designed to hybridize to the complementary specific allele in genome.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the DNA sequencing of tumor that reveals BRCA1 gene mutation is a prognostic test or diagnostic.

Introduction: Genomics applies DNA sequencing methods, recombinant DNA, and bioinformatics to assemble, sequence, and analyze genomes.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether genetic testing in a healthy teenager that identifies SNP associated with autism is a prognostic test or diagnostic.

Introduction: Most genetic differences between human beings result from SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms and CNVs (copy number variations).

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether a genetic test in an adult with Asperger syndrome that reveals an SNP in GABRB3 gene is a prognostic test or a diagnostic.

Introduction: SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) refers to a variation in single nucleotide pair, as detected during genomic analysis.
