AMNH Genetics, Genomics, Genethics for Nursing Questions and Answers for AMNH Quiz (A GUARANTEED) <100% C0RRECT> GRADED A+ | LATEST SOLUTIONS | Question 1 A patient is 34 years old and concerned a... bout possibly being a carrier for HNPCC because his father died of colon cancer at 39, his father’s sister died of colon cancer at age 41, and his brother (aged 37) now has colon cancer. The brother’s testing is negative for all the known mutations associated with inherited forms of colon cancer. How should this patient be counseled about his risk for colon cancer? Select one: a. Explain that testing for him would be of no benefit because of the current test limitations but that his family history does place him a high risk. b. Explain that his risk is not related to his brother’s diagnosis because he did not inherit any genesfrom him but that since hisfather is a first-degree relative, testing should be considered. c. Explain that because the brother with cancer is negative for these gene mutations, this cancer is most likely sporadic and his risk is the same as general population risk. d. Explain that he could benefit from testing even though his brother is negative for these mutations because reduced penetrance might account for his negative status. Question 2 Which type of genetic testing is the most sensitive method for detecting any mutation in a specific gene? Select one: a. Direct DNA sequencing b. Immunohistochemistry c. Fluorescence in situ hybridization d. Banded chromosomal analysis Question 3 Which tissue is most likely to provide an adequate DNA sample for genetic testing? Select one: a. A mummy’s tooth b.
