The world can be a scary place. There are many disease causing organisms and genetic disorders that can make life difficult. As you read the chapter, be thinking about your family history of genetic disorders, how these disorders are passed on through generations, and what types of testing can be done to look for these alleles. In this exercise you will reflect on the pros and cons of genetic testing and how it may affect you.

- Make a list of the benefits that may arise from genetic testing as wellas possible negative consequences. Discuss the items on your list.The Meeting Sarah stared blankly at the blue paisley wallpaper. Her husband Mike sat by her side, bending and unbending a small paper clip. “Sarah and Michael, it’s good to meet you,” welcomed the genetic counselor, as she entered the room. “I apologize for being late, but I was just meeting with another couple. Let’s see, you’d like to have a child, but you’re concerned because of your family history of cystic fibrosis.” “Yes,” Sarah replied softly. “Mike and I met at a CF support group meeting a few years ago. He had a younger brother who died of cystic fibrosis, and I had a younger sister. We saw the painful lives they had—difficulty breathing, the constant respiratory infections. Although the treatments for CF are better now, we just don’t know if we can…” she trailed off. “I can certainly understand your concern,” the genetic counselor responded sympathetically. “That’s where I hope to help, by providing as much information and advice as I can.

- Genetics in Practice case studies are critical-thinking exercises that allow you to apply your new knowledge of human genetics to real-life problems. Case study Michelle was a 42-year-old woman who had declined counselling and amniocentesis at 16 weeks of pregnancy but was referred for genetic counseling after an abnormal ultrasound at 20 weeks of gestation. After the ultrasound, a number of findings suggested a possible chromosome abnormality in the fetus. The ultrasound showed swelling under the skin at the back of the fetuss neck; shortness of the femur, humerus, and ear length; and underdevelopment of the middle section of the fifth finger. Michelles physician performed an amniocentesis and referred her to the genetics program. Michelle and her husband did not want genetic counseling before receiving the results of the cytogenetic analysis. This was Michelles third pregnancy; she and her husband, Mike, had a 6-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. At their next session, the counselor informed the couple that the results revealed trisomy 21, explored their understanding of Down syndrome, and elicited their experiences with people with disabilities. She also reviewed the clinical concerns revealed by the ultrasound and associated anomalies (mild to severe intellectual disability, cardiac defects, and kidney problems). The options available to the couple were outlined. They were provided with a booklet written for parents making choices after the prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. After a week of careful deliberation with their family, friends, and clergy, they elected to terminate the pregnancy. Should physicians discourage a 42-year-old woman from having children because of an increased chance of a chromosomal abnormality?You are a genetic counselor, and your patient has asked to be tested to determine if she carries a gene that predisposes her to early-onset cancer. If your patient has this gene, there is a 50/50 chance that all of her siblings inherited the gene as well; there is also a 50/50 chance that it will be passed on to their offspring. Your patient is concerned about confidentiality and does not want anyone in her family to know she is being tested, including her identical twin sister. Your patient is tested and found to carry a mutant allele that gives her an 85% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer and a 60% lifetime risk of developing ovarian cancer. At the result-disclosure session, she once again reiterates that she does not want anyone in her family to know her test results. a. Knowing that a familial mutation is occurring in this family, what would be your next course of action in this case? b. Is it your duty to contact members of this family despite the request of your patient? Where do your obligations lie: with your patient or with the patients family? Would it be inappropriate to try to persuade the patient to share her results with her family members?Please answer all questions if possible. What do loss of function alleles tell us about normal gene function? Why would a researcher be interested in over- or mis-expression phenotypes? Why are genetic screens useful? Why do biologists do screens? What are we trying to do? What is the Big Picture purpose?
