Q

What is cytokine pleiotropy and redundancy?

A

Pleitropy - multiple biological actions
Redundancy - shared biological actions by different cytokines
Short lived, short range molecules, effective at low conc

17
Q

First order horners vs second order vs third order

A

First order - ipsilateral body anhidrosis

Second order - ipstilateral face anhidrosis

Third order - ipsilateral brow anhidrosis

18
Q

What are tibosome bidning sites for tRNA?

A

Peptidyl tRNA binding site (P site) holds the tRNA and polypeptide chain

Aminoacyl-tRNA binding site (A site) holds incoming tRNA molecule

Stop codon on the messenger RNA causes binding of release factor to aminoacyle-tRNA binding site (A site) which causes hydrolysation of the petidyle tRNA molecule on the P site and release of the polypeptide chain

19
Q

Constant vs variable expressivity AD/AR>

A

AD - variable expressivity

AR - constant expressivity

20
Q

Stickler syndrome genet

A

COL2A1

21
Q

What is continuous vs discontinuosu multifactorial inhertiance

A

Continuous - range of disease expression

Discontinuous - increased incidence in affected family compared to general population
Unequal sex distribution

22
Q

What is roman numerals and arabic numerals in HVF

A

Roman - target size in mm2

Arabic - light intensity in apostlibs

23
Q

Fluorescein excitation and emission peak

A

Excitation 490nm
Emission 530nm

24
Q

What causes window defect in FFA? Leakage at macula? Leakage at disc? LEakage elsewhere?

A

Window defect - RPE atrophy, macular hope

Leakage macula - CMO, macular oedema

Leakage at disc - papilloedema, inflammation, ischaemic optic neuropathy

Leakage elseqhere - vasculitis, new vessels, choroidal neovascularisation

25
Q

Axial resolution of stectral OCT

A

3-8 micrometers

26
Q

What is the light peak:dark trough ratio in EOG and light peak time?

A

LP:DT 1.7-4.3
Light peak time 7-12 minutes

27
Q

What happens in preclinical phase of clinical trial

A

Drug tested in non-human subjects to explore efficacy, toxicity, pharmacokinetics, with no dose trestriction
