Fаmiliаl hypоchоlesterоlemiа is an inherited disorder characterized by the development of coronary heart disease early in life. Individuals homozygous for the normal allele have a normal risk of developing heart disease, which typically occurs later in life. Heterozygous individuals have a high risk of developing heart disease in early adulthood. Individuals homozygous for the affected allele have a high risk of developing heart disease in childhood. What mode of inheritance best explains this outcome?
Breаst cаncer shоws аutоsоmal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance among females who inherit one affected BRCA2 allele. 30 of 50 females who inherited a BRCA2 mutation developed breast cancer by 80 years old. Eddie is heterozygous (i.e., one normal BRCA2 allele and one affected BRCA2 allele), but his partner does not have a BRCA2 gene mutation. What is the probability that Eddie’s daughter will develop breast cancer by age 80? (HINT: This is the probability that his daughter inherits an affected BRACA2 allele AND the penetrance of the phenotype, which was calculated in Q26).
