A 5-year-old child with recent onset of Type Ill spinal muscular atrophy has been in a children's hospital since the time of diagnosis 2 weeks ago. The child will be discharged home in the next few days to live with the parents and several siblings.

A certain couple has six children – four boys (ages 2 years, 5 years, 9 years, and 11 years old) and two girls (ages 5 years and 7 years old). The oldest boy shows symptoms of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). You are a geneticist, and they come to you for advice. What would you tell them about the chances of their other children developing the disease?

Mrs. Abbruzzo brought her 4 -year-old daughter to the doctor, complaining that she didn't "look right." The child's forehead was enlarged, her rib cage was knobby, and her lower limbs were bent and deformed. X rays revealed very thick epiphyseal plates. Mrs. Abbruzzo was advised to increase dietary amounts of vitamin D and milk and to get the girl outside to play in the sun. Considering the child's signs and symptoms, what disease do you think she has? Explain the doctor's instructions.
A 10 -month-old infant has an enlarging head circumference and delayed overall development. She has a bulging anterior fontanelle and her CSF pressure is elevated. Based on these findings, answer the following questions: (a) What are the possible cause(s) of an enlarged head? (b) Which tests might be helpful in obtaining information about this infant's problem? (c) Assuming the tests conducted showed the cerebral aqueduct to be constricted, which ventricles or CSF-containing areas would you expect to be enlarged? Which would likely not be visible? Respond to the same questions based on a finding of obstructed arachnoid granulations.
