Which of the following does not result from accumulation of partially degraded gangliosides?
| Phenylketourea |
| Tay-Sachs disease |
| Niemann-Pick disease |
| Gaucher's disease |
Solutions
Expert Solution
Correct option: Phenylketourea
The membranes of the human nervous system contain at least 15 different gangliosides for which no function is yet known. However, it is clearly important that the synthesis and breakdown of these compounds be tightly regulated; derangements in the metabolism of cerebrosides and gangliosides underlie the devastating effects of several human genetic diseases, including Tay-Sachs, Gaucher's disease and Niemann-Pick diseases.

All of the following characteristics of Tay-Sachs Disease
indicates that the disorder has a genetic basis
except?
Group of answer choices
Prior to its discovery in humans, no known animal models of
Tay-Sachs (or similar genetic disorders in animals) were known to
exist
The frequency of the disorder is approximately 1/3,600 in the
Ashkenazi Jewish population, but is much less common in other
Caucasian populations
Individuals with Tay-Sachs have a common mutation in the hexA
gene
Tay-Sachs has a characteristic...

Tay-Sachs disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait
and is lethal in the homozygous recessive condition at the age of
2years. A heterozygote marries a genotypically normal individual.

Many human diseases are genetically transmitted (for example,
hemophilia or Tay-Sachs disease). Here is a simple model for such a
disease. The genotype aa is diseased and dies before it mates. The
genotype Aa is a carrier but is not diseased. The genotype AA is
not a carrier and is not diseased.
a. If two carriers mate, what are the probabilities that their
offspring are of each of the three genotypes?
b. If the male offspring of two carriers is...

A diagnostic test either provides a + result (has the disease)
or - result (does not have the disease). 5% of the population has
the disease. For a patient with the disease, 75% will test (+)/ 25%
will test (-). For a patient that does not have the disease, 15 %
will test (+)/ 85% will test (-).
Part A) If everyone in the population is tested, what proportion
of the test results will be positive?
Part B) For a...
