22 Questions
Which method is commonly used for CF carrier screening?
Massively parallel sequencing
What is the purpose of diagnostic testing for CF?
To confirm clinical diagnosis
What is the range of CGG repeats for premutation alleles in Fragile X testing?
55-200
Why is Southern blotting necessary for detecting the full mutation range in Fragile X testing?
To detect very large full mutation repeats
Which of the following accurately describes the role of genetic testing in medicine?
Genetic testing is primarily used for diagnostic purposes in evaluating patients.
What is the main difference between a screening genetic test and a diagnostic genetic test?
A screening test is used for carrier purposes, while a diagnostic test is used for diagnostic purposes.
What is a limitation of genetic testing?
A negative test result does not necessarily rule out a clinically diagnosed condition.
Which additional testing method would be most appropriate to detect large deletions in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes?
Southern blot analysis to look for large deletions
A woman comes for counseling about her risk for breast cancer. Both her mother and her sister were diagnosed with breast and ovarian cancers at an early age. Her sister had sequencing of her BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and no mutations were detected. You suggest that additional testing of these genes may be needed to detect what type of aberration?
Southern blot analysis to look for large deletions
What type of analysis was performed on the sister's BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes to detect mutations?
RFLP analysis for creation of a new restriction cut site
Which genetic tests are commonly used in genomic medicine?
Cystic Fibrosis, Fragile X syndrome, Factor V and Factor II
What factors determine the counseling needs in genetic testing?
Context and indications for testing
What is the purpose of genetic testing for cystic fibrosis in the given clinical scenario?
To determine the risk of having a child with CF
Which of the following is the best diagnostic method for Prader-Willi syndrome?
Methylation-sensitive PCR
What is the risk of being a carrier for Fragile X syndrome for a female with a family history of intellectual disability?
High
What is the purpose of bisulfite treatment in molecular testing?
To distinguish methylation of cytosines
What is the recommended testing algorithm for Fragile X-related disorders?
Diagnostic testing indicated in any individual with intellectual disability; Carrier testing indicated in any female with family history of intellectual disability
