CF. Tony is expecting a child with Tina. Tina’s family history is unknown. What is the
probability that Tony is heterozygous for the CF gene? Explain your answer.
Answer: 2/3. Tony’s parents are Aa and Aa. Their children’s genotypes, with probabilities,
are: 1/4 AA; 1/4 Aa; 1/4 aA; 1/4 aa. Tony does not have CF, so he cannot be genotype aa.
Of the remaining genotypes, 2/3 are heterozygous.

56. Explain the principle behind using concordance values for monozygotic and dizygotic twins
to determine the influence of genetic factors on individual differences for a trait.
Answer: MZ twins theoretically share 100% genetic information and DZ twins only 50%.
So if genotype differences cause most of the variation in the population, concordance values
for the characteristic will be high in MZ twins and lower in DZ twins.

57. Researchers studying genetic determination of childhood asthma noted 65% concordance for
monozygotic twin pairs in which at least one twin has asthma and 37% concordance for
dizygotic twin pairs in which at least one twin has asthma.
Answer:
a. Sixty-five percent concordance indicates that, in 65% of monozygotic twin pairs in which
one twin has asthma, the other twin will also have asthma.
b. The significantly higher concordance in monozygotic twins compared to dizygotic twins
indicates that genes play a major role in contributing to childhood asthma. The
difference can be attributed to the fact that monozygotic twins share 100% of their genes,
whereas dizygotic twins only share 50% on average.
c. The discordance between monozygotic twins suggests that the environment also plays an
important part in determining asthma. Given that the monozygotic twins are genetically
identical, their different phenotypes must be due to differences in their developmental
environments.

Answer:
(1) A person with an inherited genetic condition might start early treatment to lessen the
severity of the condition.
(2) The symptoms of some genetic conditions can be prevented by early treatment.
(3) If a person is at risk for inheriting a genetic condition, testing can alleviate the anxiety
associated with uncertainty.
(4) Parents who are considering children can determine if they are heterozygous for a
homozygous recessive condition.

60. A maternal blood-screening test carried out in the second month of a pregnancy indicates a
level of α-fetoprotein that is significantly higher than normal.
a. What is α-fetoprotein?
b. What does a higher than normal level of α-fetoprotein in the mother’s blood indicate?
c. Critique the maternal blood screening test—specifically, what are its limitations?
d. Given the limitations of the tests, why are they so commonly ordered?
e. If you were the doctor who ordered this test, how would you proceed?
Answer:
a. α-fetoprotein is a protein that is normally created by the fetus during development and is
normally present in fetal blood, amniotic fluid, and the mother’s blood during pregnancy.
b. A higher than normal level indicates that there might be a problem with development of
the fetus. Specifically, high levels are associated with neural-tube defects and certain
other common disruptions to fetal development.
c. Higher than normal levels of α-fetoprotein are associated with increased risk of genetic or
developmental problems, but they do not prove that a problem is present.
d. Maternal blood-screening tests are not as invasive or as expensive as more definitive tests
(e.g., amniocentesis).
e. You should order additional tests to confirm or rule out the presence of a developmental
problem. These tests might include additional blood tests, ultrasound, amniocentesis, and
CVS.
Section 6.4
Application Question
61. The American College of Medical Genetics recommends mandatory screening of newborn
infants for 29 conditions, and many states have adopted this recommendation into law.
Answer:
a. Newborn screening allows for early identification of medical conditions that can be
treated more effectively when diagnosed early. For example, PKU can lead to mental
retardation if an infant is fed a normal diet. However, if fed a strictly regulated diet from
soon after birth, the brain will develop normally. Mandatory screening has reduced the
incidence and severity of suffering from these conditions, along with social and economic
costs associated with them, in the population as a whole.
b. Some people are concerned about how genetic information from screening tests might be
used and how the blood collected might be used. These concerns are understandable,
given our history of abusing genetic information and misusing biological samples in the
past. Also, blood samples taken for newborn screening have been used in research
without consent of the individuals or their parents. Also, some parents might be
concerned that children identified as having a genetic disorder might be stigmatized and
their futures limited in some way.
c. Obviously, answers will vary. Some students will argue in favor of mandatory screening
and cite the benefits listed in (a). The best answers supporting screening will also
discount the concerns cited in (b) by arguing that laws are now in place or could be
enacted to limit the potential for such abuses. Some students will argue in support of
screening on an economic basis. By identifying a disorder early when it can be treated
successfully, the treatment will save money compared with the much higher cost of
dealing with the untreated patient with the disorder. The PKU story illustrates this
argument well. Some students will argue against mandatory screening and cite the
potential for abuses cited in (b). They might also argue against government intrusion in
the lives of families.
Section 6.4
Application Question
62. Today, more than 1200 genetic tests are available to doctors and patients for use in diagnosis
and treatment of health conditions, and more are becoming available in the near future.
Genetic testing is becoming more common in medical practice, and genetic testing is
expected to become commonplace. Explain the complications that are associated with
genetic testing and why specialized genetic counselors are needed in medical practice.
Answer: Genetic counselors are trained to help patients understand the results of genetic
tests and their implications. They provide information related to genetic disorders, their
causes, and potential treatments so that patients can make informed decisions. Their services
are often needed because genetic tests are complicated and their results are often not
straightforward. For example, many genetic conditions can be caused by many different
alleles, but typically genetic tests only can detect the most common causative alleles. Also,
there often is not a simple relationship between a genotype and its associated phenotype.
With incomplete penetrance, for example, the presence of a particular genotype is associated
only with a probability of developing the associated medical condition. Many people have
difficulty in understanding these probabilities and making appropriate decisions.
Section 6.4
Application Question
63. (a) What is a direct-to-consumer genetic test? (b) What are some advantages of direct-to-
consumer tests? (c) What are some disadvantages or problems associated with these tests? (d)
Do you think states and/or the federal government should regulate direct-to-consumer genetic
testing? Defend your position with facts and arguments.
Answer:
(a) One that is offered directly to consumers without the involvement of health-care
professionals.
(b) Patients often have better access to these tests and costs might be lower because patients
do not have to pay for the services of a health-care professional. Also, the tests can be
carried out anonymously, alleviating concerns about violations of genetic privacy.
(c) In many cases, the tests are offered without appropriate information and genetic
counseling to allow the patients to understand the results and use the information
effectively. Other problems are that the tests are not always accurate and confidentiality
is not always guaranteed.
(d) Answers will vary. Students advocating for regulation should emphasize the
disadvantages and problems listed in (c) and underscore the need for consumer
protections. Students advocating for keeping the market unregulated should emphasize
for freer access, reduced costs, and the responsibility of individuals for choosing the
services and using the results appropriately. They might argue that informed consumers
will choose companies that provide proper genetic counseling and guarantee
confidentiality.

64. (a) What is genetic discrimination? Provide an example. (b) What protections are provided to
individuals by the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act? What are some important
limitations of the law?
Answer:
(a) Genetic discrimination is negative treatment of individuals based on information about
their genotype or family history. An example would be denial of health insurance based
on the presence of a genotype that is expected to produce bad health in the future.
(b) The law prohibits discrimination against individuals in employment and health insurance
based on genetic information. The law does not provide protection in life, disability, and
long-term care insurance, which are also important to individuals who are at risk for a
genetic disorder. Also, individuals might have a difficult time proving that denial of a job
or health insurance was based on their genetic status and not some other factor.
