. It is known that 1% of the population have a specic gene mutation that is linked to
stomach cancer. The risk of this type of cancer is 10% if a mutation in this gene is
present, and it is 1% otherwise. Find the probabilities that
(a) a randomly selected person has stomach cancer;
(b) a patient with stomach cancer has a mutation in the gene

In the general? population, one woman in ten will develop breast cancer. Research has shown that 1 woman in 650 carries a mutation of the BRCA gene. Nine out of 10 women with this mutation develop breast cancer. ?(a) Find the probability that a randomly selected woman will develop breast cancer given that she has a mutation of the BRCA gene. The probability that a randomly selected woman will develop breast cancer given that she has a mutation of the...

Consider two genes with different expected mutation rates due to size. Gene 1 has a mutation rate of 1 x 10-6 in the population, while gene 2 has a mutation rate of 3 x 10-6 in the population. Assume that the probability for an individual to have two mutations in one gene is 0. Also, the number of bases, n, in a gene is large. State the probability for gene 1 and for gene 2 that there is exactly one...

Suppose that 44,000 people in New Zealand (population 4,400,000) carry a particular rare gene X that places them at a higher risk of developing cancer. A medical test will correctly indicate the presence of gene X with 0.9 probability when carried out on a person who carries gene X. If the person does not carry gene X it will incorrectly indicate the presence of gene X with probability 0.05. (i) Draw a fully labelled tree diagram where the first branch...

You are screening newborns to see if they have the progerin gene mutation or not.  Describe how you would use FISH as a diagnostic toolfor this disease. What technique could you use to see if the progerin protein or normal Lamin A protein was being expressed.  For both, explain the technique and how you would determine which protein the patient expressed (the normal or progerin). Everything you need to know about the progerin gene and protein is in the Human Connections section....
