Gonadal Moasaicism
What is the most common feature of turners syndrome?
Short stature
What is a premutation of fragile X (how many repeats)?
Between 55-200 (premutation)
What is anticipation? Give an example?
Genetic condition passed on to next generation where symptoms worsen and come on early in the next generation, trinucleotide repeats (Huntingtons, Fragile X)
What genetic principle explains a mom with tuberous sclerosus who has a child with heart problems, neurological lesion?
Variable Expressivity
In patients with Aortic Stenosis, what changes after epidural can be problematic? How do you avoid this?
Decreased SVR -> Decreased Coronary Artery Perfusion –> MI. Avoid via slow epidural, narcotics only
Chorioangioma – most likely complication?
Polyhydramnios in 60% vs FGR in 20%
Uncorrected ASD, increases the risk of?
Stroke (increased risk of emboli from arrhythmias)

4-8 days
Most common mutation in Osteogenesis Imperfecta?
ColA1,2

Immediately after delivery (autotransfusion of blood = 50% increase in CO)
Benefit of a SNP Array over CGH Array?
SNP Array can detect Triploidy
What is Alpha Error?
Type 1 error (False Positive, failing to reject the null hypothesis when you should have)
Which ethical concept is informed consent most closely tied to?
Autonomy

- Correct Coagulopathies (likely DIC),
- For surgical management Pack and drain
- Improve surival with Hepatic Artery Embolization

Interrupted Aorta (They said is Correct- not sure bout that), Tetralogy of Fallot (26%), Interrupted Aortic Arch (10%), Pulmonary Atresia wit VSD (24%), VSD (19%) - I think what they meant was if you have Interrupted Aortic Arch you are at 50-89% likely to have DiGeorge, but overall it is rare

Interrupted Aortic Arch
