3. Why is carrier status for Duchenne muscular
dystrophy (DMD) usually not transmitted from affected fathers to
daughters, even though this disorder has an X-linked transmission
pattern
4. Why is there such a high rate of spontaneous
mutation among

1. All of the following are correct about Staphylococcus aureus, EXCEPT:
most strains are resistant to penicillin and ampicillin
it causes furuncles, carbuncles, and abscesses.
it is the coagulase-positive species
it is a common cause of strep throat
2. Acanthamoeba is NOT
a cause of keratitis
entering typically through broken skin or the conjunctiva
acquired by swimming in contaminated water
a heleminth
3. Fifth disease is normally
treated intensively with intravenous antibiotics
treated with topical antibiotic ointments
prevented through vaccination
allowed to resolve without treatment
4. The skin is an effective barrier against many pathogens. All the following describe ways that pathogens penetrate the skin EXCEPT for which one?
Helminths may burrow into the skin, creating their own paths to deeper tissues
Microbes may enter the body through skin that has been damaged, allowing them to reach deeper tissues
The loa loa worm enters the bloodstream through the bite of the deerflies that carry it
Bacteria on the surface of the skin often gradually consume the epidermis and dermis, creating a pathway to deeper parts of the body
5. All of the following are correct about Streptococcus pyogenes, EXCEPT
it causes scalded skin syndrome
humans are the only significant reservoir
some of the streptococcal toxins act as superantigens
infection is generally through direct contact

4. John is a 16-year-old who loves to play soccer.
His 18-year-old brother, Andre, passed out while playing basketball
and has now been diagnosed with long QT syndrome (LQT1). The
cardiologist involved suggests that all Andre’s siblings should
have a cardiac examination, including an electrocardiogram (ECG),
before they play sports. John’s ECG shows a borderline QT
prolongation during activity, so the cardiologist recommends
genetic testing. John tests positive for the same mutation in the
gene KCNQ1 (LQT1) that Andre has, and he is told that he must stop
playing soccer. He is counseled to take up a less intense sport,
like golf. John is clearly upset and wants to know why this is
happening to him. He feels just fine and does not understand why he
cannot play his favorite sport.
A. What is the connection between sports restrictions
and Long QT syndrome
B. How can understanding the genetics help to predict
who might be affected by Long QT syndrome if someone in the family
is already affected.
C. How and in what terms will you explain to John why
these modifications in exercise are necessary
