1. What determines whether a gene allele is a risk-increasing versus a risk-decreasing allele?
2. What does it mean when we say that genetic factors influence what dose of a drug will be safest and most effective for you?
3. Imagine someone who has asthma has a direct-to-consumer test that tells him that he has risk- decreasing alleles for asthma in two of his relevant genes. How do you explain the fact that he has asthma, despite having two risk-decreasing alleles in relevant genes?
4. What does it mean to say you have a risk-increasing allele for cancer that has been reported to have 20% penetrance?
5. Why does the test that is used to determine whether a woman who has breast cancer should be prescribed Herceptin or not focus on analyzing the mRNA of the HER2 gene? What does that tell you that a DNA-level analysis would not tell you?

1. At the Integris hospital, a 5-year old Caucasian male child in good general health and physical condition was presented at the Saturday walk-in clinic by his mother. He was brought in because he had a fever, was cranky and had complained of a sore throat for about 24 hours. On physical examination by the attending resident, the patient had a fever of 39.3C, and he had considerable swelling and drainage of the pharynx and in the conjunctivae. His tonsils were enlarged and coated with a white patchy exudate. He had a red throat and swollen anterior cervical lymph nodes. His ears were clear. His chest sounded clear and he had no additional remarkable findings on routine examination.
a) What would be your presumptive diagnosis for this child? Why?
b) What diagnostic testing would be indicated to follow this exam?
c) What is the most likely treatment for this illness? Why is it important?
d) What factors of this case allowed you to make a presumptive diagnosis?
e) Lastly, are there any preventative advice that you would give to the mother?
