Hematology

Hematology is the branch of biology. Hematology is the medical field that deals with the treatment of blood disorders and cancers, such as hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia. Hematologists and hematopathologists are medical professionals who specialize in illnesses of the blood and its components.

The X-linked gene responsible for DMD encodes a protein called dystrophin that is required for muscle function. Dystrophin protein is not secreted—it remains inthe cells that produce it. Given what you know aboutBarr body formation, do you think that females heterozygous for the recessive DMD disease allele could havethe disease in some parts of their bodies and not others?
In individuals affected by cystic fibrosis, salt crystals may appear afterperspiration dries up. In addition, the disease causes respiratory disorderswhich can be both debilitating and lethal.

Suppose a maternal effect gene exists as a functional dominantallele and a nonfunctional recessive allele that causes a disorder.A mother with the disorder produces offspring that are all withoutthe disorder. Explain the genotype of the mother.
Two mothers give birth to sons at the same time at a busy urbanhospital. The son of mother 1 has hemophilia, a disease causedby an X-linked recessive allele. Neither parent has the disease.Mother 2 has a son without hemophilia, despite the fact thatthe father has hemophilia. Several years later, couple 1 suesthe hospital, claiming that these two newborns were swappedin the nursery following their birth. As a genetic counselor, youare called to testify.

Albinism is a recessive autosomal trait for skin pigmentation. Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessivedisorder of the blood. assign alleles to the traitsA – normal skin pigmentation X H – normal blooda – albino X h - hemophilia A double heterozygous woman marries a non-hemophilic man and heterozygous for skinpigmentation.  Double heterozygous means heterozygous for both traits. Aa for skin pigmentation andX H X h for blood trait. Therefore, the genotype of the woman is AaX H X h .  Non-hemophilic man is X H Y and heterozygous for skin pigmentation is Aa. The genotype,therefore, of the man is AaX H Y. What is the probability that they will have:a. a child with normal skin? _____________________b. a child with normal blood? _____________________c. an albino girl? _____________________d.
