"nephrotic syndrome is a genetic disorder that requires two alleles to inherit. In germany 1 in 7000 people to have it. How many people are expected to have the heterozygous genotype in germany described?"

How would I first analyze this question to get to the answer? please leave a detailed explanation. Greatly appreciated

Expert Solution

in these types of question, you should first extract the calculative part of data. then you applying hardy weinberg equation.

see what we can deduce from the question.

nephrotic syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder which occur in 1 out of 7000 people.

so if we suppose p as a dominant allele and q as a recessive

then applying the appropriate hardy Weinberg equation

always start with homozygous data that will be easy

i trid to explain it at your level. if still you have any confusion then you can ask.

1. Gillespie syndrome (GS) is a rare genetic disorder. The disorder is characterized by having part of the iris missing, ataxia, and, in most cases, intellectual disability. It is termed as a heterogenous disorder because it can be inherited either through an autosomal dominant pattern or through an autosomal recessive pattern. Two parents are heterozygous for GS. A. Assuming that the condition is following an autosomal dominant pattern, what are the ratios or percentages of the genotypes AND phenotypes for...

The frequency of a genetic syndrome is 1 in 2000. Assuming that the syndrome is determined by a homozygous recessive allele and that there are only 2 alleles in the population, what is the percentage of carriers for this syndrome assuming the gene is in HWE? What is the probability that a person, who discovers that they are a carrier, has a child with the syndrome?

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder where mutated alleles (point or gene mutations) produce a defective transport protein that results in organs producing a sticky mucus. Discuss how an individual with cystic fibrosis would make the abnormal protein. Your answer should include all the molecules and all the processes involved in going from genotype to phenotype.

7. A genetic disorder occurs with probability 1/2000 . There is a test for this genetic disorder. If you have the disorder, then you test positive 90% of the time. If you don’t have the disorder, then you test negative 90% of the time. If you test positive, what is the probability that you have the disorder?
