Zellweger Syndrome
29
What type of mutation arises from mitotic errors after fertilization and propagates through multiple tissues or organs? P.S. Relatives and Parents do not have it
Somatic Mosaicism
30
What does Wegner Disease have that Microscopic polyangiitis doesnt have?
granulomas and nasopharyngeal involvement
31
Immunoglobulin A has abdominal pain, arthralgais, and palpable purpura on buttocks/legs: What GI condition is it associated with?
Intussusception
32
Cilia have 9 doublet + 2 singlet arrangement no what in the middle?
No central Microtubules
33
What do microtubules help with?
Clilia, flagella, mitotic spindle, axonal trafficking, centrioles
34
Second trimesters quad screen shows what things are elevated for trisomy 21?
low alpha fetoprotein, high B-HCG, low Estriol, and High inhibin A
35
Vasculitus: when we are a small vessel vasculitis, and come back positive for HLA-51, what two diseases could they be?
HSV or Parvovirus Behcet Syndrome
36
A Collagen Type 3 problem is what? A Collagen Type 4 problem is what?
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Alport syndrome --\> targeted by auto-antibodies in GoodPasture's syndrome
37
What gene modification system can manipulate genes at specific development points?
Cre-lox System
38
In the world of antibiotics: What blocks peptidyltransferase at 50S ribosomal subunit? Am I bacteriostatic or bactericidal?
Chloramphenicol Bacteriostatic Look out for Gray baby
39
(Heterodisomy) Heterozygous indicates what kind of error? Isodisomy (homozygous) indicates what kind of error?
Both of these topics are uniparental disomy, genetic material came from only one parent Meiosis I --\> error Meiosis II --\> post zygotic chromosomal duplication
40
What vasculitus shows up with heavy smokers?
Buerger Disease (Thromboangiitis)
41
Uniparental disomy can be seen or is a cause for concern when what happens?
A child gets an autosomal recessive disease and only one parent is the carrier
42
What do integrins bind too?
bind to fibronectin and laminin
43
If a patient inherits or develops a mutation in a tumor suppressor gene, the complementary allele must be deleted/mutated before cancer develops. This is not true with oncogenes. What genetic principle is this?
Loss of Heterozygosity
44
Collagen Type 3 is what? Collagen Type 4 is what?
Reticulin --\> skin and blood vessels Basement membrane --\> basal lamina, lens
45
N-oligosaccharides on what are modified via Golgi? O-oligosaccharides on what are modified via in the Golgi?
Asparagine Serine and Threonine
46
Variable Expressivity is what?
Patients with the same genotype have varying phenotypes
47
Dominant negative mutation is what?
exerts a dominant effect, a heterozygote produces a nonfunctional altered protein that also prevents the normal gene product from functioning
48
In the world of antibiotics: What inhibits binding of the 50S subunit, prevents formation of the initiation complex? Am I bacteriostatic or bactericidal?
Linezolid Variable (first aid)
49
What disease is mixed cryoglobulinemia associated with? Palpable purpura, weakness, arthralgias
Hep C
50
In the world of antibiotics: What inhibits protein synthesis by blocking translocation; binds to the 23S rRNA of the 50S ribosomal subunit? Am I bacteriostatic of bactericidal?
Macrolides Bacteriostatic
51
Histones are rich in what two amino acids?
Lysine and Argine
52
When collagen becomes Gly-X-Y? what is X and Y
Proline or Lysine
53
Locus Heterogeneity is what?
Mutations at different loci can produce a similar phenotype Example is albinism
54
Tendency for certain alleles at 2 linked loci to occur together more or less often that expected by chance. Measured in a population, no in a family, and often varies in different populations. What is this?
Linkage disequilibrium
55
DDX Duchenne and Becker?
Duchenne: onset at 5 years old, frameshift mutation, severe Becker: onset at 15 years old, no frameshift mutation, not as severe
56
What is different mutations in the same locus produce the same phenotype?
Allelic Heterogeneity Beta Thalassemia
57
SMA has an issue on what chromosome?
Chromosome 5
58
What is the immediate drug for iron?
Deferoxamine
59
What is the immediate drug for lead/ mercury? What is a glaring symptom for mercury poisoning?
Dimercaprol Painful swallowing and Gingival inflammation
