Introduction/Genetics Flashcards
3 categories of review groups that inspect the blood bank
- Peer review
- State review
- Federal review
Give 3 examples of a peer review group
- American Association of Blood Banks (AABB)
- College of American Pathologists (CAP)
- Joint Commission of Healthcare Operations (JCAHO)
Give an example of a state review group
- Indiana State Department of Health
Give an example of a federal review group
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Discuss, in general terms, the manner in which an individual acquires their blodo group genes according to Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance
- Each parent contributes half of the inheritance
- Individual traits are inherited independently of each other
Pattern of inheritance most blood group systems follow
Codominance
Hardy-Weinberg formula
p2 + 2pq + q2
4 inheritance patterns
- Autosomal dominant/codominant
- Autosomal recessive
- X-linked dominant
- X-linked recessive
Offspring possesses a trait that neither the mom or alleged dad possess
Direct exclusion
Offspring does not possess a gene that should have been inherited
Indirect exclusion
Pair of identical alleles
Homozygous
Different alleles at a given gene locus
Heterzygous
Observation of detectable traits; outward expression of genes
Phenotype
Individual’s genetic makeup
Genotype
Ag characteristic of RBC membrane found commonly among individuals, usually more than 98% of the population
Public Ag
