Sometimes it is All in the Genes
Part 1 “The Genetic Test”

1. Nancy might want to know her results for cystic fibrosis because she is pregnant is second tri-mester so Nancy would need to know all her possibilities of health risks for her and what shed need to expect. But at the same time Nancy knowing causing un needed stress on her and her fetus, since there would be nothing she could do to stop or help her baby. 2. Dr. Kwin I don’t think was completely correct considering if she happened to carry the recessive trait and give her child CF, Nancy then would have a lot more on her plate shed need to deal with. 3. Yes, I think Dr. Kwin provided all the essential information he could have. He let Nancy know that she was correct that shoe couldn’t have caught or now get the disease but simply explain how it does happen if she was a carrier of a mutant CF carrier. And then if she was a carrier what the possibilities were for her child to catch CF would be. 4. Yes, Nancy should consent to the blood test. She needs to know and be able to prepare her self in case she is a carrier. So she can take the next steps to see if her unborn child is at risk, or has CF.

Part 2 “Sharing the Bad News”

1. Nancy’s genetic make up with the information given that she is a carrier she would have (Ff) or in terns that she is a female it’d be XF, Xf. 2. The chance Nancy will pass on her recessive allele to her baby would be 50%. 3. The chance that Jake would pass on his recessive allele would again be 50% 4. The baby ahs a 75% chance now of getting CF since both the parents are carriers. If parents decided on having more babies they would still have a 75% chance of getting CF. But if Nancy was only a carrier the baby would have a 50% chance of getting CF.

Part 3 “The Decisions Become Tougher”

1. The CFTR mutated genes will create defective or no protein with result of the not enough chloride will move out of the cells

    Cystic fibrosis is a chronic lung disorder caused by an autosomal recessive multiorgan disorder. The disorder is due to an exocrine gland dysfunction. The deficiency in chloride flow and increase sodium absorption results in thick sticky mucous that clogs the lungs and obstruct glands The pancreas obstruction leads to the failure of secretion of enzymes. The chronic lung disorder is prevalent amongst Caucasians. “Cystic fibrosis occurs in one of 2,5000Caucasians,approximately 30,000 individuals most are diagnosed by six months of age a are living in the United States”(DNA Testing In Prenatal Case, Cystic FIbrosishttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ pmc/articles/PMC1200714/). “12 million more Americans are carriers but not affected by it”(Plain patient…

    Cystic Fibrosis is caused by a fault in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene on chromosome 7 at q31.2. For CF to be expressed, a faulty copy of the gene must be present at both alleles; autosomal recessive. Therefore both parents must be carriers of, or affected by the cystic fibrosis gene (fig. 1) for the gene to be passed on. If a person has one copy of the faulty allele (are heterozygous) they are carriers of the gene and can pass this allele on; if they possess two copies of the faulty allele (are homozygous), they will have CF. People who have CF must consider that their children will definitely be carriers at the very least, and depending on the genotype of their partner, may also suffer from CF.…

According to the National Institute for Clinical Health and Excellence “Approximately over two million people in the UK carry the faulty gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis - That works out at around one in twenty five of the population” Each week it is estimated that within the UK two young lives are lost to this incurable illness and only half of those living with the disease are likely to live past…

    The CFTR protein is responsible for functioning as a channel for chloride ions (salt) in and out of cells. Changes in the CFTR gene can consequently change the quality and structure of the protein CFTR being created. The CFTR gene has 27 segments called exons which produce a complete mRNA message. The message is then translated into a chain amino acids which take the structure according to the message. Normally, the amino acids will produce a CFTR protein that will position in the cell membrane and function as a channel for ions. Any mutation in the gene or incorrect sequencing prohibits the channel from functioning and being positioned in the membrane adequately. Over 1,000 mutations of the CFTR gene is responsible for CF, however, the most common are due to the deletion of 3 nucleotides in the gene. The 3 nucleotides are responsible for the production of the amino acid (phenylalanine). This is denoted as ∆F508 and is found in 90% of CF…

    Children who inherit a faulty CFTR gene from each parent will have CF. Children who inherit one faulty CFTR gene and one normal CFTR gene are ‘CF carriers’. CF carriers usually have no symptoms of CF and live normal lives, however they can pass the faulty CFTR gene to their children.…
