Question
Answer
The presence of an extra copy of a genomic segment usually could result in a___   partial trisomy  
🗑
The following regarding tandem duplications is true   direct duplication means the duplicate segment is in opposite direction as the original  
🗑
Partial monosomy typically causes more severe phenotype than partial trisomy of the same chromosomal region True or False   True  
🗑
Complementary microdeletion/microduplication syndromes does not include   Klinefelter syndrome  
🗑
Molecular studies could be used to detect ______ which is not detectable by FISH tests   the origin of duplication  
🗑
If a segment at the same position of both homologus chromosomes is drived from a single parent, it could also be called uniparental disomy for that segment True or False   True  
🗑
The following is NOT a mechanism of uniparental disomy?   DNA methylation  
🗑
Uniparental disomy (UPD) for 11p15 observed in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is an example of:   segmental paternal UPD.  
🗑
UPD could unmask a recessive gene and cause phenotypic changes that are not seen in heterozygous individuals True/False   True  
🗑
The cytogenetic abnormality seen in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is   paternal duplication of 11p15.5.  
🗑
The following is NOT a feature of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome   Only paternal H19 tumor suppressor gene is expressed in normal individual  
🗑
Most of the chromosome 22 addition cases are due to unblanced gamete formation in balanced translocation carriers. True / False   False  
🗑
Uniparental disomy could exist in the form of   segmental/partial disomy, heterodisomy, isodisomy  
🗑
Uniparental disomy could be detected by G-band analysis. True / False   False  
🗑
The chance that trisomic rescue could result in a normal genotype is   66%  
🗑
A big size of deletion occurs in heterochromatic region is usually unlikely to cause clinical changes True/False   True  
🗑
the following is NOT a function of telomerase?   Remove TTAGGG repeative sequence  
🗑
the following are functions of telomerase   Identify sites close to terminal chromosome deletion for binding, synthesize TTAGGG repeative sequence.  
🗑
About 5% of terminal deletions observed by karyotyping are actually interstitial by molecular methods. True / False   False  
🗑
Tiny interstitial deletions that might not be able to see under a light microscope include   microdeletion syndromes, contiguous gene syndromes, segmental aneusomy syndromes.  
🗑
Contiguous gene syndrome means the presence of clinical manifestation due to several genes in close proximity True/False   True  
🗑
Williams syndrome is an example of segmental aneusomy syndromes True/False   True  
🗑
The term "segmental aneusomy syndrome" is used to emphasize that the phenotype is the result of critical gene dosage imbalance within a genomic segment. True/False   True  
🗑
Most of the trisomilic syndroms are of _______ origin   maternal  
🗑
True or False? The risk of autosomal aneuploidy increases when maternal age increases   True  
🗑
Meiosis II non-disjunction could happen when   sister chromatids malsegregated  
🗑
True or False? Unbalanced structural rearrangements contain net loss or gain of genetic materials that is more likely to result in a clinically affected individual   True  
🗑
the following statement regarding the associated risk of a structural chromosome rearrangement is true   Risk for having another child with the same structural abnormality will be low if the abnormality found in first child is de novo  
🗑
A chilid had an apparently balanced de novo translocation demostrated severe mental retardation and developmental delay. Which of the following could be the possible mechanisms?   the translocation is not truely balanced, translocation invloved in the regulatory region of a critical gene, a position effect.  
🗑
True or False? Autosomal monosomies are usually non-survivable   True  
🗑
True or False? Autosomal aneuploidy occurs more frequent in sperms than oocytes.   False  
🗑
True or False? Polyploidy are usually rare but survivable   False  
🗑
Tetrasomy 12p is known as ________ syndrome   Pallister-Killian  
🗑
True or False? All cases of tetrasomy 12p reported were mosaics with a mixture of genetically normall cells and i(12p)-positive cells   True  
🗑
The cytogenetic origins of supernumerary marker chromosomes are not always known at the beginning and may represent autosomal aneuploidy in a form of:   tetrasomy, biosatellited dicentric chromosome, ring chromosome  
🗑
Which of the following could be an indication of balanced structural chromosome rearrangement   infertility, mulitple miscarriages, child with congenital anomalies  
🗑
True or False? Structurally abnormal chromosomes could cause problem when pairing up with their homologous chromosomes which will result in unbalanced conceptions and eventually lead to miscarriage or spontaneous abortion.   True  
🗑
How does the imbalance rearrangement affect the severity of phenotype?   Imbalanced rearrangements involved chromosome 13, 18, 21, sex chromosomes could end up with live birth  
🗑
True or False? Unbalanced conception could be lethal and lost without notice for an infertile woman   True  
🗑
