Chromosome 9 This is the correct answer
Chromosome 11
Chromosome 12
This boy has tuberous sclerosis, which is inherited in autosomal dominant fashion, with responsible defectshaving been identified on both chromosome 9 and chromosome 16. These chromosomes carry codes forhamartin and tuberin, protein gene products which are responsible for regulation of cell growth.
Most of the tumours which are produced in tuberous sclerosis are hamartomas, and various phenotypes of thedisease occur, with some parents of patients having much more subtle features than those seen in theirchildren.

Intention to treat This is the correct answer
One month completer
Per protocol
Trial completer
The intention to treat (ITT) analysis contains all the patients randomised to a particular therapy regardless ofwhether they received it or not. ITT is considered to be the analysis which is least subject to bias.
Completer analyses, whether they took one dose of medication, one month of medication or completed thestudy, are subject to degrees of bias.
A per protocol analysis may exclude patients who suffered an event but then did not follow the protocolaccurately, for example, a patient treated with the diabetes agent who was admitted to hospital, but missed oneto two doses of medication.

27%
10%
Out of every 100 patients screened with CML, you would expect 10 of them to have the particular subtype (truepositives). False positives will be 3/100.
The positive predictive value is the percentage of true positives out of total positives, which is10 / 13 = 77%.
The negative predictive value is the percentage of true negatives out of total negatives.

Which of the following genetic phenomena is associated with this genetic condition?
(Please select 1 option)
Chromosome instability
Deletion
Epistasis
Microdeletion
Trinucleotide repeats Correct
The suggestion here is that the patient has myotonic dystrophy.
Myotonic dystrophy is autosomal dominant and exhibits anticipation as the number of trinucleotide repeatsundergo triplet expansion, resulting in the disease presenting at a younger age, or with greater disease severityalong the generations.
Examples of chromosome instability syndromes are:
Fanconi anaemiaAtaxia telangiectasiaBloom syndrome.

Mutation in which of the following is associated with Marfan's syndrome?
(Please select 1 option)
Collagen type 1 gene
Collagen type 5 gene
Fibrillin-1 gene Correct
FMR-1 gene
Type II procollagen gene
Mutation in the fibrillin-1 gene is thought to be responsible for Marfan's syndrome.
In Marfan's syndrome the lack of normal fibrillin-1 leads to overactivity of transforming growth factor type beta(TGF-b) in the wall of the aorta and the heart valves, leading to damage and destruction to the connectivetissue which weakens that aortic wall and heart valves causing them to stretch.
Type 1 collagen gene defects are found in osteogenesis imperfecta and type 3 in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
Type II procollagen defect is found in hereditary spodyloarthropathy.

Which of the following is characteristic of cystinuria?
(Please select 1 option)
Autosomal dominant inheritance
Cataracts
Cystine deposition within the liver
Premature coronary artery disease
Radio-opaque renal calculi Correct
Cystinuria is an autosomal recessive condition associated with the inadequate reabsorption of cystine (as wellas ornithine, arginine, and lysine; useful mnemonic COAL) in the nephron causing nephrolithiasis. The stonesare at least partially radio-opaque.
It accounts for less than 3% of renal calculi and has an incidence of 1 in 2,500.
The foundation of cystine stone prevention is adequate hydration and urinary alkalinisation.

Work Smart Session - MRCP Part 1
A 17-year-old female is affected by an inherited disorder. She has two brothers who are unaffected. She hastwo sisters both are affected. Her father is affected but not her mother.
Which of the following modes of inheritance is the best explanation?
(Please select 1 option)
Autosomal dominant
Autosomal recessive
Mitochondrial
X linked dominant Correct
X linked recessive
This is a tricky question and the crucial part is recognising that X linked dominant conditions are transmitted bya father to all his daughters and that, on balance, this is a better explanation of the genetics than the tenuousassertion that an autosomal dominant condition has by chance affected three daughters but neither of twosons.
X linked dominant disorders are rare (for example, vitamin D-resistant rickets). They affect both sexes butfemales more than males.
All children of a homozygous mother are affected.
Half the sons and half the daughters inherit the disorder from an affected mother with the trait.
An affected father passes the disease to all his daughters but none of his sons - as in this example.

Polycystic kidney disease (PCKD) carries an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. As such, with oneaffected parent, each child has a 50% chance of inheriting the PCKD gene.
Whilst ultrasound is very sensitive in detection of PCKD in patients over 20, in those under 20 it is not 100%accurate.
It may not seem immediately obvious to consider a family member as a potential donor, but they may be avaluable source for a kidney in this situation.

(Please select 1 option)
Anticipation Correct
Complex traits
Epistasis

Microdeletion
A phenomenon whereby the symptoms of a condition appear at an earlier age when inherited in the nextgeneration is termed anticipation.
These conditions are almost exclusively associated with trinucleotide repeat sequences and examples areHuntington's disease, myotonic dystrophy, and Friedreich's ataxia, as is probably the case in this patient.

Ankylosing spondylitis Correct
Erythropoietic porphyria
Fragile X syndrome
Huntington's disease
Pendred's syndrome
Unlike the other conditions, no one specific genetic defect has been identified to account for ankylosingspondylitis.
Huntington's chorea is an autosomal dominant condition.
Fragile X syndrome is due to a trinucleotide repeat at the FMR 1 gene on the X chromosome.
Erythropoietic porphyria is an autosomal recessive condition, as is Pendred's syndrome.

Acute pancreatitis
Chronic renal failure
Hepatic infarction
Mesenteric artery occlusion Correct
Ruptured aortic aneurysm
Diabetes - especially type 2 diabetes - is associated with macrovascular disease.
Smoking is a further risk factor for macrovascular atherosclerosis.
After a meal splanchnic blood flow is increased. If the mesenteric artery is occluded the lack of blood flow tothe bowel will produce ischaemic type pain.
Chronic renal failure may be present but would not cause post prandial pain.
Ruptured aortic aneurysm would normally present acutely with hypotension, cold lower limbs with reducedpulses and a pulsatile, tender abdominal mass.
Pancreatitis is unlikely given the history and the lack of epigastric tenderness.
Hepatic infarction should lead to right upper quadrant pain.

(Please select 1 option)
Anaphase lag results in one of the two daughter cells receiving an extra part of one chromosome.
At the beginning of meiosis 2, each cell contains 23 single chromosomes.
DNA replication occurs during meiosis 1. Incorrect answer selected
Non-disjunction at mitosis (meisois 2) results in mosaicism. This is the correct answer
The incidence of Down's syndrome due to translocation increases with increasing maternal age.
Meiosis is the form of cell division that produces gametes. It is divided into two parts, meiosis 1 and meiosis 2.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication occurs before meiosis 1, and the cell begins division with twice thenormal cellular amount of DNA.
In meiosis 1, each daughter cell gets one of the duplicated chromosomes of each pair. At the beginning ofmeiosis 2, each cell contains 23 chromosomes each with a duplicated pair of chromatids.
In meiosis 2, the duplicated pair separate and each daughter cell ends up with one of each of the 23chromosomes (4 hapolid daughter cells).
Two common errors of cell division occurring during meiosis are non-disjunction (2 chromosomes fail toseparate, so both copies of the chromosome go to one of the daughter cells); and anaphase lag in which achromatid is lost because it fails to move quickly enough during anaphase to become incorporated into one ofthe new daughter cells.
In Down's syndrome, non-disjunction accounts for 94% of cases. The incidence of this increases withincreasing maternal age. Five per cent of cases are due to translocation, and 1% to mosaicism.

Work Smart Session - MRCP Part 1
Regarding benign essential tremor which of the following is true?
(Please select 1 option)
Alcohol improves the tremor Correct
Is autosomal recessive in inheritance
Is present characteristically at rest
Occurs in liver disease
Occurs with lesion in sub thalamus
There is no tremor at rest, but a rhythmic oscillation develops when the patient holds the arms outstretched.
A positive family history is obtained in over half of such patients and the pattern of inheritance in such familiesindicates an autosomal dominant trait.
Alcohol suppresses essential tremor, but the mechanism responsible is unknown.

Work Smart Session - MRCP Part 1Question: 1 of 6
Time taken: 00:50
Mutation in which of the following is associated with Alport syndrome?
(Please select 1 option)
Collagen type I gene
Collagen, type IV, alpha 5 gene Correct
Fibrillin- gene
FMR-1 gene
Type II procollagen gene
Mutations in the COL4A5 gene cause approximately 80% of Alport syndrome cases.
Several hundred different mutations have been identified, the majority of which cause a change in the sequence of aminoacids (the building blocks of proteins) in a region of the alpha5(IV) collagen chain that is critical for combining with othertype IV collagen chains.
Other mutations severely decrease or prevent the production of the alpha5(IV) chains.
As a result, there is a serious deficiency of the type IV collagen network in the basement membranes of the kidney, innerear, and eye.

Common variable immunodeficiency involves low levels of most or all of the immunoglobulin classes, a lack ofB lymphocytes or plasma cells that are capable of producing antibodies, and is associated with frequentbacterial infections.
The cause of CVID is unknown - a family member may be affected in approximately 20% but there is no clearpattern of inheritance.

In X linked recessive inheritance, which of the following is true?
(Please select 1 option)
Daughters of affected males will all be carriers Correct
Each daughter of a female carrier has a 1:4 risk of being a carrier
Each son of a female carrier has a 1:4 risk of being affected
The family history is often positive since new mutations are rare
The male to female ratio is 2:1
Over 250 X linked recessive disorders have been described.
The commonest include:
Red/green colour blindnessDuchenne and Becker muscular dystrophiesFragile X syndromeG6PD deficiencyHaemophillias A and BHunter's syndrome.
The abnormal gene is carried on the X chromosome, and in the carrier female, the normal allele on her other Xchromosome protects her from the disease. Since the male does not have this protection, he manifests thedisease.
In X linked inheritance therefore:
Males are all affectedFemales only occasionally show mild sign of diseaseEach son of a female carrier has a 1:2 chance of being affectedEach daughter of a female carrier has a 1:2 risk of being a carrierDaughters of affected males will all be carriers, but sons of affected males will not be affected since the Ychromosome is derived from father.
The family history may be negative, however, since new mutations are fairly common.
Carrier females can be identified from time to time from mild clinical manifestations and from specific tests suchas biochemical markers, for example, creatine kinase in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
