Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether an individual would disclose WGS results to the parents and reason for the disclosure.

Introduction: WGS (whole genome sequencing) provides sequencing results for entire genome, including noncoding regions. WGS can identify mutations in regulatory regions that lead to disease.

Forward Genetics Analysis uses a variety of beneficial approaches to identify never before described genes. For each of the following approaches or outcomes, briefly (maximum 2 sentences) discuss in your own words, their purpose in Forward Genetics Analysis. c) Mendelian ratios d) Genetic screen
Describe the methodology that you would use to determine the association between specific sequence variations or epigenetic modifications and observed diseases in humans. Given your newfound knowledge of this association how would you then design a genetic test that could be used to identify individuals within a given population who have developed the disease or at risk of developing the disease. “The disease” here refers to any heritable genetic disease..
In your attempts to identify a genetic basis for rheumatoid arthritis in humans, you have DNA samples from three large unrelated families in which individuals with varying severity of rheumatoid arthritis are found. From your analysis of various SNPs, you find that the same four unlinked loci consistently show a correlation with the most severe cases from all three families. Based on your observations, which of the following hypotheses best describes the genetic control of rheumatoid arthritis? ос Rheumatoid arthritis is the result of phenocopy by the environment Different genes regulate the disease in different families Rheumatoid arthritis is controlled by a single X-linked recessive trait Rheumatoid arthritis is controlled by polygenic (or quantitative) traits Rheumatoid arthritis is controlled by a single autosomal dominant trait
